Hilarious from the outset this addresses the one pursuit of a teenage boys life - sex. I laughed the instant it started, with a scene that should be familiar to a lot of lads out there, that set the mood of the film that was to come. The bet the lads make is a means of getting them into all kinds of mishaps that end hilariously. The highlights are the scene with the pie and the video cam fiasco. The ending was predictable and the final messages fairly standard as they learn what is really important and get what they want anyway. Although I was shocked to hear Alyson Hannigan's character say certain words - she was always so sweet and innocent in Buffy, The Vampire Slayer - terrible. The extras on this disk were really good, with deleted scenes that are always a pleasure for the film buff to view and some nice DVD-Rom features. Definitely a winner. A reminder, to all us lads out there, of what it was like to be 16.
