I'm no seasoned review-writing movie critic, but I love this movie. I came across this on Netflix with a few of my friends, who wanted to watch it because we were all part of the "THIS MOVIE HAS TO HAVE TITS/BE LIKE American PIE" demographic. Despite the fact that they were laughing, only two of the five of us actually claimed to enjoy the movie. The main complaints seemed to be, "nothing happened" and "there were no tits."
I personally can't understand how someone can give this movie a scathing review and feel good about themselves. Sure, it's not the the comedy of the summer, but it's an indie movie, so you can't really expect it to be (though I was hella surprised). Likewise, the characters, dialog and believability of the movie far surpassed anything "Knocked Up" or the "American Pie" series has tried to accomplish. I've seen this three times now (showing it to my other friends), and have only found more reasons to love it. I feel as though this is what normal, albeit lame (yet somehow charming), people would act like if this were a real life situation. There is a great mix of terrible, corny jokes that lame people would make and witty dialog that the writer(s) threw in.
Long story short, ignore the frumpy, sexually frustrated naysayers of this movie and give it a shot. I feel like this has the makings of a cult classic, and if you can bear the vulgarities and occasionally immature humor, there is a lot of merit in this film.
Also, in case you were worried, my friends ended up watching The Naked Mile after this and got their fill of tits.
