Going the Distance

Wow, who'd thought it. An underground film that has a pop star in it is an advertisement to lameness. Fortunately, this one is the exception.

The story and the casting here are very similar to "American Pie", but better written. Despite some predictable scenes like the two old girls in the bar, the film is most of the time surprising and we don't know what's gonna happen next. These boys face lots of situations that are possible (and funny), like the naughty girl daughter of the farmer. That scene was hilarious, a la Scary Movie.

Thumbs up for Shawn Roberts and Mayko Nguyen who really do their best to get in this film's mood. And congratulations for the writer - I really found the plot very entertaining.
