Cougar Club

To persuade the casual audience for these type of films, the cover art is intended in doing so. Based on the title alone, one would essentially know the type of film this would set out to be.

Seemingly like the American Pie films or like Road Trip/Euro Trip, Cougar Club is nowhere near those. Given its lower budget, lack of a theatrical release and low views, people should not have expected the film to be of such quality.

As a film, the movie is very unrealistic and a lot of it is far too silly and makes little sense.

First off. The lead character is supposed to be a nice likeable guy yet he blatantly cheats on his pretty girlfriend (a young Kaley Cuoco) for an older woman and feels no shame in doing so. It seemed far too easy for him to get with the "cougar". One moment he could barely speak to her, a few scenes later, he's sleeping with her.

Also the writers didn't do a good enough job in making Kaley's character unlikeable or crazy. The lead felt no remorse in cheating with her. Why didn't he just break up with her. Do not understand how they were together in the first place. None of this was clear. If you are watching the film for Kaley Cuoco, know that she has a very small role, as she was very underused.

While watching, you may be asking yourselves "how is this happening?" (referring to what occurs on screen). What wasn't made clear enough was, were the women/cougars in on the scheme (did they know of the "Cougar Club"? Were they getting paid?). Everything felt entirely too easy for the guys to hook up with them.

As another reviewer mentioned, the film fell short on "its seductive promise". Aside from 1 or 2 very short exceptions, the cougars themselves were left out of the movie. Very lacking for a "guilty-pleasure" style movie.

Overall this movie was just bad, not funny in the least, and it shows the difference in what it takes to make a funny and enjoyable comedy (especially these types of comedies). The writing is the most important part. An entirely forgettable film.

An interesting plot flops due to poor writing & acting.

Intrigued by the cover art & abstract, I picked up this title at the bargain bin in some super-mart store. I was prepared for the usual straight-to-DVD quality with toilet humor, lots of flesh, and the whole "American Pie meets National Lampoon" style experience.

Instead, I was brutally disappointed. The movie stuttered along unevenly. The jokes (if you can call them that) never crackled nor was there any witty banter. The scenes were disjointed while also being ridiculously transparent. And the characters, from the protagonists to the love interests & even the bit players/cameos were sadly one-dimensional. Some characters would disappear from the film almost entirely to simply reappear without explanation later.

Probably worst of all, the movie fell short on its seductive promise. Aside from 1 or 2 very short exceptions, the cougars themselves were left out of the movie. Very lacking for a "guilty-pleasure" style movie. At least show us some action.

Overall, a very poor showing. I feel bad for some of the actors/actresses, since they were certainly victims of lackluster writing, and lame attempts at humor. You'd be better off going with almost any of the other titles in the genre that promise lots of women in skimpy clothing.

The movie has the perfect plot and timing.

They portray the pure aspect of what a "cougar" is through the cast as well as the acting.

Its definitely a cheesy comedy, but that is what the audience is looking for, at least what I was looking for.

Its essentially a national lampoons style movie - would compare to a Van Wilder or Old School style movie.

I am looking forward to the full release to see it again.

Good quality of writing as well as producing and looks like it was done with a much larger budget than what is estimated. Always good to see this in a independent movie.

I was expecting good things from the movie but i was left feeling very let down. Not once did i laugh or even give a smile during the film. I kept thinking when will this be over. It's like a comedy with NO comedy. The film failed to keep my attention and i found myself thinking of other things.

I was expecting it to be like American pie with a twist but it's nothing like American Pie. I've never been so bored watching a movie. I've not long ago finished watching the movie and already i can't remember what happened in it.

Terrible film, Terrible Cast, Terrible Plot.... In a word this movie is TERRIBLE!!!

I was planning on watching this movie last week over my 50" Plasma with my Xbox 360 Netflix until I came upon the low rating in the IMDb website. Then today I decided to try it out again while I'm eating in my dorm room. After finishing the movie I decided to write this review / comment to save you from the bad comments that others had input. I'm not a hardcore film critic and that is what the score is based on in the IMDb website; they watch dozens of films a month and review them. One thing I know is that this movie is definitely worth watching.

My Rating: 7.5

Similar Movies: American Pie, Euro Trip

Plot Overview: The movie involves one innocent man (Spence) who does everything right who doesn't take risk and his best friend (Hogan) who limps at the edge of the cliff taking every risk and just lives his life. The movie is about 2 college graduates who work for a company of assholes who harass them constantly calling them "shit stick" and stuff like that. These two protagonists decided to earn extra cash by creating the Cougar Club. The Cougar Club grants members access to "cougars" or old ladies (40+) who want to prey on young men (hence the name cougar). The plot was pretty predictable. Nothing mind-blowing but the climax and conclusion went pretty good.

My comments: I'm a big fan of Kaley Cuoco (love her shows: The Big Bang Theory, Charmed, 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter) so that automatically attracted me to pay close attention to this movie from her early appearance in this movie. This movie is like American Pie and Eurotrip except a little less silliness. Kaley Cuoco's parts in this movie wasn't to good as it made her look look like the needy girlfriend. She has performed better in her other shows. Oh and Izabella Scorupco is one hot cougar.

This movie had about 2 or 3 scenes that made me laugh balls to the wall! Its one of those laughter where you can barely breathe because it was so funny. Its a pretty good comedy. Watch it already!
