The Jerk Theory (2011)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a teen romantic comedy a notch below and less universal appeal than "An Easy A." Adam (Josh Henderson) has a girlfriend Cynthia Swensen (Jaci Twiss). She dumps him for bad boy Marc Dixon (Abraham Taylor). This leads Adam to believe all women love the "bad boy" or jerk in this case. He does quite well being a jerk, of course playing in a band and being the lead singer never hurts either. Pretty girls throw themselves at him, but he wants Molly (Jenna-Dewan-Tatum) who plays hard to get and demands respect.The scene talks place at a Catholic school with the occasional D.E.B.S. fantasy outfits. Tom Arnold plays a priest who occasional misspeaks in sexual innuendos, such as "So concludes my unit on procreation" or "Easier than a prom date."Danny Bonaduce plays himself in what I thought was the funniest scene in the film. The script is predictable. It also lends itself to some old fashion dating protocol while contrasting it with what not to do. Not a blockbuster, but it was entertaining.PARENTAL GUIDE: No f-bombs, no sex, no nudity (rear male shot, bot on thong). Sexual themes, but no parental embarrassing sex talk. Seems to be a light PG-13.

I loved this movie!!! It was a really good chick flick with some good humor and romance in it. I think it has some great values and I agree that gentlemen will always be picked over jerks. Also, I do believe that sex is worth waiting until marriage for and girls should maintain their values no matter how good the guy may become. The only thing I didn't like was degrading God by joking about Him in certain ways. I thought it was not cool. But based on being a romance movie... it's now one of my favorites(:

This movie was actually pretty good and a lot better then i thought. I thought it was gonna be some really cheesy movie but it was actually pretty good. The beginning actually started off pretty good but towards the middle I think it got a little cheesy. Josh Henderson's acting was also pretty good and the guys who played his friends were also pretty good and convincing but Jen Dewwan or whatever the girl who plays Molly's name is, her acting was not very convincing and I think it actually made Josh Henderson's acting look bad. She definitely needs some lessons cause her acting was CHEESY and lame it literally looked like she was acting in some parts or trying to hard. But the storyline was good and it was pretty funny but towards the middle- end it got kind of lame. Though not as bad as I thought it would be.

I saw a screening of this film and absolutely loved it. Tom Arnold was phenomenal and had my favorite scene of the movie in the confessional. I look forward to being reeled in by the love story again. It draws you in and pays off in the end. How can you not fall head over heals for the lovely Jenna Dewan? The music was fabulous and gives you some great love songs along with up beat music that is right in line with the comedic aspect of the film. Josh Henderson is the perfect fit for his character and will have every girl from fourteen to forty wishing they were "Molly". It seems that everyone would know someone that fits the profile of each character and we can all relate to the story line.
