Parental warning. There are a few instances of nudity. Overall, I enjoyed the movie and laughed several times. Each character has his or her personality that were all crafted by the actors into a wonderful array unique and memorable identities. Great movie for a rainy day.

A bunch of losers with no movie experience or talent make a film in order to meet girls. That's not the plot...that's what this movie IS. There's only two reasons to sit through a movie like this...boobs and jokes, of which there are none. Well, since I stomached most of the "unrated" version I think I actually saw a couple of boobs....but unless played-out, 1980's Urkle-esque jokes are your thing, there isn't a laugh to be had in the whole movie. There are some great, clever independent films out there with poor production value so I really don't judge on that. But the writing felt like it was done by middle school guys and the acting is almost a parody of itself. Not only isn't it worth seeing, it's not worth reviewing...but I sort of had to since there was one review here that was clearly written by someone associated with them film. No one, and I mean no one, else could find any value in this turkey.

Some of you hardcore IMDb'ers will scoff at my 7. You may even write me off altogether as a reviewer, and that's okay. All I really want to do in writing reviews at all is to impact a few people and share my experiences with them. Now that you have my mission statement, let's get on to the review.

This is funny, as in laugh out loud watch it with your girlfriend funny. That is not to say that it has an exceedingly high production budget, but as we have seen from recent films ( you know which ones I am talking about ) that doesn't necessarily equate to a good watching experience. Comedy is a tricky thing, what one person finds funny other people will simply hate. That's life.

The bottom line is, this is much better than the slew of romantic comedies being hurled at us starring people we are all tired of seeing who aren't even that funny to begin with. That's why it gets a 7. Fresh faces, fresh comedy.

After reading through the other reviews, having watched this one a few days ago I thought I should chime in. It's pretty clear that people have a mixed reaction to this one. Love, hate, and like me, middle of the road.

Is this a good movie? Yes. Is it a great movie. No. Is it worth the time it takes to watch it? If you are just hanging around bored I would say yes, should you postpone important plans to watch this ASAP? No, definitely not. It is funny, it does have hot girls, the story is a bit uninspired but hasn't every single iteration of every comedy ever made already been churned out? Compared to a lot of trashcan garbage I have been seeing lately this was a welcome change to be honest.

At the bottom end of the evolutionary and intellectual scale, you have those creatures who are literally too stupid to remember to breathe unless reminded to do so - and this movie appears to have been created by and for them.

It's not even (as many appear to be trying to suggest) a movie about socially-awkward but otherwise intelligent folk (i.e., "nerds") trying to connect with the mainstream world - these characters are the most annoying, spoilt wastes of oxygen that you could possibly imagine. Next to them, Paris Hilton seems like a well-adjusted regular human. These literally are the characters who couldn't even get a job "flipping burgers," as the phrase goes, because they're so utterly incapable of thought.

If you made the mistake of paying to view this, you'll be kicking yourself for quite a while.
