Going Down

It's hard to believe any sober person could have given this a favorable review. The story is inane. The acting is incompetent. Stupid dialog is overabundant. The acts of "going down" were reminiscent of cheap cable-rated porn, with little but tops of heads seen below downee pecs, and copious facial closeups of wincing downees. I laughed not once, but did give it one point for absence of gratuitous gore. It probably deserves another point as a good example of what not to include in a movie, but the multiple appearances of vomiting and sloven, easily frightened constable are too memorable to justify a higher rating than 2.

I have to say that when we first got this movie in, I thought it was going to be horrible. So I read the back, and thought "hey, this is going to be worse than I thought from the cover". But after about a half hour, I noticed I had been laughing out loud and just sat back and enjoyed it. Sometimes a movie catches you off guard, despite its pathetic reviews, horrible cover (US cover has a chick's stomach with a belt buckle stating "Going Down"), and just about every other mark against it that it could possible have, and still be funny. It wasn't a pothead movie, it wasn't an excuse to see a topless chick, it was just funny. I'm not going to say it was the best movie I've seen or anything, but its definitely worth watching if you don't want to invest too much thought into something.

Because getting stabbed by a spoon would be better than this movie.

Taking place over 3 hours, Jack needs to clean his house from a party before his parents get home.

The laughs should ensue, but it's just frustrating and goes nowhere slowly.

Most of us have been in a situation similar to this in high school. That's what makes teen comedies funny. But THIS doesn't do that. This movie takes that element and turns the viewer 180 degrees and pushes the viewer away frim it. There's not one single character to connect with when ridiculousness gets beyond normal silly shenanigans and goes into pure stupidity.

This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe people actually a) write scripts like this b) have a budget to make a film c) actually expect it to be successful. Words can't even describe how horrible this film is. I enjoy my fair share of teen movies, but this didn't even come close to being funny. In fact, it was funny for the sole reason that it was so horrible. I can probably count one (maybe two) parts in the film where I even managed to squeeze out a chuckle (other than the laughs regarding how bad it was).

Renting this was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Its been a day since I've seen the film, and I'm still in shock regarding how horrible it was. Avoid at all costs.

2/10

Had me laughing from start to finish! This was the first comedy where the girls were not only hot but smarting and having a better time than the guys. To see Principal Belding in a hot tub with babes was hillarious. Once scene after the next I couldn't start laughing. The story got more and more outrageous. The hooker was funny. Travis and Jamie were great. My favorite was the mom. What a funny bit#@h! Oh, and don't forget the cop. A bunbling idiot. Is that what LA cops are like? Finds this movie. I know it's playing in some local theaters (I saw it here in Florida) but if you can't find it in a theater then RENT IT!
