There's bad and there's super bad. This is just plain awful. think of the worst parts of Napoleon Dynamite and thats still better than this. Target audiences are males from 17-25. Anyone older than that is going to hate this. I don't know about the show these people were in but none of the actors are funny. None of the scenes or plots are funny, most are gross, lewd or sexually pointless. This is a movie for 15 year old boys. They'll love it! Generally it's a sequence of unconnected events, really bad plot (if you can call it a plot) and dull stuff.
Now the cops that knock the main kid over and then pull a GUN on him? WHY? He has no reason to pull his weapon at all! These guys are having the worst night they could possibly have, so much going wrong for them, sidetracking them. Now the guy turning down not only a blow job but sex as well? Is he gay or just insane? So she's had a few drinks but he's still saying no, their potraying an unrealistic idea of the male species there. That scene where their telling each other "I love you", how homo-erotic is that? Guys that age don't have that kind of relationship, not even if their THAT drunk! The ending is rubbish too, the film just tails off with no real finish.
I don't mean to sound like a bigot in this review but any straight male of this guys age doing some of the things he does (like turning the girl down for sex & telling his friend he "loves him" are just unrealistic. Both those scenes made me incredibly angry, I don't care how nice of a guy their trying to portray him as but both those things really failed.
You can't just decide to make a version of American Pie (which is basically what this is) for a slightly younger audience demographic & expect to have it received very well by anyone outside that target audience.
I don't want to say anything more about the plot of the film as it doesn't have one. You can't describe a plot that doesn't exist. A loosely connected set of ideas isn't a plot and I didn't care enough about any of the characters whilst watching them to actually learn their names, their that watchable. IE:- not at all.
American Pie did this kind of film a lot better & a whole lot funnier with better actors & more watchable characters. Go watch that, it shows exactly how bad this film is. SUPER super bad.
