    Top notch cast wasted in a mostly painful comedy
    Mostly this screwball lewd comedy about a nerd who pursues a girl and a crazy set of events unfold does not work. There are some laugh out loud moments but they are minor ones like the Stanford thing. Also there are such good stars you kind of want to watch to see how they act. The plot isn't convincing in a comical way and the crudeness and vulgarity aren't funny most of the time and border on painful and not even funny juvenile in an American Pie way just painful. Kind of feel terrible for fine actors and actresses like Elizabeth Shue, Dylan McDermott here. Mary Louise Parker surprisingly shows some versatility here, different from her previous roles. Nat Wolff is not charismatic enough a dork to carry off this role. Selena Gomez looks cute enough. Heather Graham is quite funny.

    Overall only see it if you are in the mood for a few very crude chuckles.
