Wild Cherry

This is a teen sex comedy, similar in feel to American Pie, but with a subtle Canadian flavour. This is one genre of film that Canada seems to do well with over the decades. In this one, at high school, a group of virgin girls discover that the boys are interested in them only because of a list in a "bang book" which supposedly will help them win their football games. So they organize to withhold sex until the season is over. I expected the film to be either overly preachy or overly lewd, but it chose a middle path, combining sexual humour with a literal feel-good story. Don't get me wrong... there are the expected gross-out scenes, and the expected serious messages. But they don't beat you over the head with them. Manitoba seems an unlikely place where this film would be made, but they obviously know something about film-making there. While this gives me hope for Canadian film, which so often disappoints me, I wonder if these particular skills will be applicable to more serious film fare. Still, I look forward to seeing what they do next.

"Let's teach these guys a lesson, it's pay back time." After a group of girls discover a book that the school football team has that lists the schools virgin girls and the player that is supposed to "check them off" they decide its up to them to stop the tradition. The girls decide not to have sex at all until the season if over, while the boys try everything they can to complete the task. This movie is nothing new at all. The typical high school movie where everyone wants to lose their virginity, complete with the over protective father (Schneider). If you have kids in high school I would be very leery about watching this one. It seems that everyone (even the virgins) are obsessed with sex and find it very difficult to hold out for the entire 3 months of the football season. The thing that always gets me is that they always seem to cast people that are in their early 20's to play the high school students, and the over the top parties and dances are so unrealistic that some kids are disappointed when they get to an actual high school. That part aside this type of movie has been done a million times, most funnier then this one so don't expect anything really new. Overall, I have seen worse movies from this genre. A few laughs, but pretty much the same jokes that have been in every movie like this (yes, the kid experimenting with food and the surprise in your drink scenes are in this one too). I give it a C.

Would I watch again? - Not this one, but I'm sure that 100 more just like this one will be made.

This movie has a good cast, and has all the potential in the world, however some of the story falls off the table. There are a few scenes that make you roll your eyes, and the writers COULD have done ALOT BETTER, just made themselves look flat lazy. Again, it had so much potential, and was IDK, maybe a few times where writers should have admitted they were tired, or they could have at least said something to eachother or spoke up and said "That's funny, BUT... (in the swimming pool scene) Wouldn't the Guys ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING that would actually give away the fact there was other guys there??" Or several other scenes that make you just same, 'C'mon Maaann...' Such a good cast, in such a poor film.

I started watching this with low expectations thinking it might provide a little titillation and I expected I would fast forward through it and delete it from my PVR very quickly, but this movie was quite watchable and I got drawn into the characters.

It was enjoyable and before I knew it the movie was over and I really enjoyed the underlying message of learning about sexuality. This movie is so much more than many of the teen sex romps and as an extremely liberal person about sexuality I recommend this movie for all teens of any age as a fun and responsible learning experience.

I was surprised upon reading about this movie here at IMDb that it was filmed in Canada. It doesn't have that "made in Canada" feel to it.

I really do suggest you give this movie a chance. It has a bunch of attractive female and male actors and it is well done.

0/12

There was nothing to like about this movie. It was insulting and not funny by any means. It was also just boring and unenjoyable.
