Adam and Eve (2005)

One of my all time favorites.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Love hits you like a frying pan - hard and fast. Adam (Cameron Douglas), student / rocker / pizza delivery boy living the life with a bunch of extreme slobs, falls head over heels for Eve (Emmanuelle Chriqui) a down-to-earth diligent university chic with one fatal flaw: she is a virgin and has no immediate intention to change that. After months of going out Adam is still stuck in second base with blue balls and not even a hope for a BJ...National Lampoon is renowned for the wacky in-your-face comedy focused mostly on the trials and tribulations of college students. Farcical and unrated its not supposed to be intelligent or overly thoughtful. Renting a movie with the logo on it basically suggests pure unadulterated fun with no intellectual strings attached.This straight to DVD movie lacks any of the above. It lacks any sincere comedic effort, basically flooring it with knock-knock level jokes and disgusting sexual frat boy humour. The movie attempts therefore to delve more into creating a romantic drama with comedic interludes, but the story drags on with varying levels of clichéd crappiness. Only Chriqui does a commendable job at acting, whilst the rest give portrayals unworthy of high-school theatre.Naturally all this could be forgiven had the movie been funny enough to distract from the overall ineptitude, but as mention the comedy is probably the weakest element in it. As such this is an unredeemable waste of time.

I think that if you ignore the fact that this is a National Lampoons film and is thought of as a romantic film with some comical moments then this is one of the greatest romance films I have ever seen. Even though it is Adam and Eve as character names this is probably the first time I have ever thought that the romance in a film has been realistic because you could actually believe that they were together not this stupid stereotypical rubbish you see in all the other movies out there. Yes they probably would be more deserving of the National Lampoons name but at least someone has got the romance theme right for once. but then if you see this as a National Lampoons film then this is terrible because it is simply not funny enough. I am going to give this film 7 out of 10 for the fact that is 1 of the greatest romance films I have ever seen but due to the tag National Lampoons it has it doesn't get the 10 out of 10 it deserves. Of course some of you may not agree with me but if you follow the story and listen to the heartfelt emotions in the movie then you will see what I see and if your looking for a classic National Lampoons film then I'm sorry but you'll probably be disappointed.

Okay, so this wasn't like all the other National Lampoon movies, like it was hardly funny...at all. However if you go into it knowing that, then it's actually a great movie. And it's also a slow movie, just a warning, but I loved it. It's a movie I will always remember this movie and certain parts from it, there are many fabulous words of advice (probably more of a chick flick, I don't think most guys would wait this out) But honestly, don't just ride it off. I'm a teenager, I love the funny movies out like all the other National Lampoon movies, this one is just a bit more...real? Than the others? I would give it a shot for sure, when you think you're in the mood for it of course (:

The moral of the story, and the main plot point between the two main leads, playing Adam & Eve - told very well, and acted out well. The rest of it? I don't know. Guess it is National Lampoon drivel.So watch the movie for the interplay going on and the well written story about waiting for the right one to have sex with first, and when you hold off, the complications that arise in the male partner. I have been there before myself. And I know what he is feeling. Except now I can handle it with more of a level of maturity. So that is why you should watch this. It is a realistic portrayal of that kind of happening, in many relationships today. Albeit less than a few decades ago, but it is still happening around us...I connected and cared for these two main characters, Adam & Eve, but the rest? Who cares.
