Storyline

Take an intimate look at college life in the gritty romantic comedy PiGS. Miles is smooth, smart and attractive - the definitive ladies' man. After returning from yet another successful conquest, Miles' best friend Cleaver has the idea for Miles to try and "complete" the entire alphabet prior to his graduation. Goaded on by his dorm mates, Miles accepts and the contest begins. The rules are simple: the rarer the first letter of the girl's last name, the higher the odds. Money and pride are on the line, and all is going according to plan, until Miles comes face-to-face with the captivating Gabrielle Xeropolos, aka: the "X". She's everything Miles has ever wanted in a girl. Now he's torn between his ever-growing feelings for Gabrielle, and his allegiance to his testosterone-filled dorm buddies. The ultimate question remains - are all guys PiGS?

User Reviews

Much worse than expected

A predictable formula, poorly acted, cliché dialog that no one would say in real life. At many times, you can't understand what the actors are saying, and frequently the music covers what they're saying. I kept waiting for things to pick up, but the humor declined, until the final minute, which I give the directors a lot of credit for. To follow such a bad script and premise so long, and then throw the Hollywood ending in the toilet is brave. I just don't think very many viewers will wait that long for such a small payoff. Teenagers hoping for a lot of skin probably won't wait 'til the end for that payoff, either. Two chuckles and a pretty girl don't make up for everything that's wrong with this movie. If it were someone's student project, I'd cut them some slack. Kind of like a porno without the sex scenes. The cinematography at times literally looks like a porno.
