7/10
I was extremely surprised it was this good!

It isn't really a comedy, but it has very funny moments. I agree with other reviewers that it looks from the cover of the packaging that is was an "American Pie" or perhaps a bit of something similar. It was nothing like "American Pie" or anything similar to those movies.

It was interesting. It took a bit to get past the vulgarity/crudeness sometime revulsion of many of the images/comments that the characters made BUT it was interesting. It had really good character development and actually a pretty fresh plot. A couple of times I wanted to change the channel or do something else but am very glad I didn't.

The location was unusual as was the sets it employed. The sound contributed a lot. It was pretty high quality which told me almost immediately it was NOT soft porn but perhaps something else. I am not a huge fan of rap/hip hop type music but this added to this movie and did not overshadow it. A Wagner classical death march at one point made me truly pay attention as the classical was not expected.

It does remind me a tiny bit of "Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice..." etc but it was in some ways a very different movie. If this is the first effort by the producer/actors/director I would try to make some more movies for sure! I don't think it had a huge budget but it really did not matter. They were 20/30 somethings who had decided for better or worse to try something new. Another note, the characters didn't look like cookie cutter plastic surgery models. They were quite real. I think each actor especially the women should continue acting.

When I was the title on a premium channel I thought at first it was soft porn because of the time slot but it is not even resembling that. The sound track was actually quite good! It was at moments repulsive almost always interesting and has a good deal of action/interaction going on. Sex surprisingly was not the main focus. There was a certain amount of drugs in this movie but it was a good addition to the story. It made it more believable.

This wasn't my favorite movie I have ever watched but I liked the movie enough to watch it again. As an avid movie viewer I am not easy to please and am often very bored. I think you should give it a try and watch it!
