Cheats

I work at a mall, in a store across from a movie theatre. I remember,about a year or so ago, maybe longer, that the trailer for this movie was displayed on the tv that the theatre set up. I remember it specifically because I remember thinking,"they should change the title, there's already a movie called cheaters." After that, I heard nothing more of the film. Until, that is, about three weeks ago, when I was walking out of another movie theatre after seeing "Ghost Ship." I saw the "Cheaters" poster in the lobby. This time I remember thinking,"its about time, it's finally coming out." Flash forward to today, about three weeks later. I just got done watching a movie on Cinemax called "Cheats." I had a feeling it was the same damn movie, and after visitng imdb.com, I realized I was right. The movie probably got plucked out of theatres so fast,I wouldn't be surprised if the poster for it is still hanging up at my local theatre's lobby. The question is....why? I thought the movie was hysterical, I really don't understand it. New Line Cinema has a habit of turning down good movies, such as Overnight Delivery, Campfire Tales, Happy Campers, and now Cheats,as well. I really think this movie would have done good at the box office,it was much better than some of the crap New Line puts in theatres.Oh well, hopefully everybody will check it out and give this film a much better fate on home video(whenever it gets there, it's currently not available.)

This is not the type of film I sit down to watch but I saw one of the good looking Lawrence guys while flipping through channels & decided since it just started-why not?!!! Good movie! FUNNY! Entertaining! "Ferris Buller" meets "Porky's" simmered on top of "Parker Lewis Can't Lose." (7)

Ok the different ideas for cheating is nothing new, but the dialouge in this movie, especially the lines of Handsome Davis, were rediculously funny. This movie has one of the most memorable scenes of any movie i have ever watched (I'LL TAKE IT RIGHT NOW). I definetly think everyone should see this one. Its just hillarious.

The first time I saw this movie was on HBO, and I didn't get to see the entire thing, but I was won over anyway. So, I ended up renting it and I laughed the entire time. Trevor Fehrman really made this movie.

The absolute best part in this movie is when Victor, Sammy, Applebee, and Handsome get caught cheating and Handsome is in the car with his father.

Mr. Davis: "Well, I hope you're happy."

Handsome: "I hope you're happy."

Mr. Davis: "You know, Handsome, when are you going to give up cheating? Just stop."

Handsome: "Yeah, Dad, two words: Dog Porn."

Mr. Davis: "I...What..I don't know what you're talking about."

Handsome: "It was in the back of your closet."

Mr. Davis: "Really, Handsome you've got to stop."

Handsome: "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DOBERMAN?"

I laughed for about a week about this particular scene. And I'm really upset that more people don't watch this movie. It's probably my favorite movie now. It is hilarious.

This a brilliant little flick that I would recommend to anyone who has schemed his way through higher education. The movie has great performances from Joey Lawrence's brother and Handsom Davis, as they pull tricks and make crib cheats to get to the top. The end is epic and some of the quotes are just plain brilliance.

Definitely one of the better flicks I have seen about high school.
