Fantastic!
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
I'll start by saying I wasn't offended because of any raunchy or debauched stuff. I am not sensitive at all when it comes to sex humor or any sort of sophomoric low-brow stuff. If it's funny, I like it.That's the problem though: this piece of crap movie simply was NOT FUNNY!!! It's just a stupid, worthless collection of "this is how crazy college guys live" stereotypes, with a truly cringe-worthy love story slapped on top. I don't think there was a single line that I found interesting or unique in any way.Again, I am the last guy to be offended by anything "explicit". But I am offended when formulaic BS crap is passed off as comedy.
I love this movie instantly. I recommend it to everyone I know who likes wacky college comedies. I consider it a true classic.I wonder why the critics panned it universally. I got into an email exchange with the reviewer from Atlanta and she apologized. It came out at the same time as Orange County which had Jack Black in a minor role. This was the stronger film but not enough people went to find that out.Jason Schwartzman is the perfect villain. We get a young Jason Segel, Jaime King, Laura Prepon and the Ameritrade guy (Michael C. Maronna). It also contains some of the best cameos this side of "Play it to the Bone."Please go and rent or buy it.
That's not what this is about at all. This is about a bond three college chums have. And there's this girl in the class.. and there's this kid with the over-obsessive hair doll who blackmails the chums for their help. Then one falls in love, and it's spectacular. And the dumb geeky kid is.. he's just horrible. this movie also has THE Best sex scene ever in a movie. NOt like a typical love sex scene.. the BEST LOVE SCENE. It's one of those remarkable moments in history.. but not your history.. It's locked in film. Then there's the best give up everything for the girl scene. And there's a crowd.. And they're all just beautiful. I heart this movie. I'm stealing it from my sister and putting it w/ the virgin suicides.
If you like teenage/college humor and dirty jokes, this is your movie. The whole movie is basically goofy college humor and most movies like that don't really have a well thought out movie. With this they had all of that without forgetting about what the movie was about or ruining the story at the end. I felt very sorry for Dave when Ethan lied to Angela about him. Luckily they got everything settled out. I liked some of the actors and actresses who played minor characters in the movie too like Michael McDonald, Retta and Jim Rash. I'm surprised actor Michael C. Maronna isn't as big as he is because he was funny in this movie. He should get himself into more movies like this. See this movie if you haven't seen it. If you have, see it again.
