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

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.

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.

Although I'm not sure it lives completely up to the song performed midway through the movie. There is something essential in here, but it does not deliver completely on this premise. I like the actors in this though (mostly the women that is), because they have a chance to play with some nice themes. I'm also pleasantly surprised that I kinda liked Rob Schneider in this movie.

The comedy works quite good. Though I'm not sure what to make of Tia Carreras character and her efforts to move the story along. It is necessary, but on the other hand, it feels more than off. Still not half as bad as you might expect it to be

To me soul is a summary of everything that is important in a film. No matter what genre of film or production cost or whatever. It's a simple film that address important things and it does it well. I would be happy knowing that my younger teenage siblings and cousins watched this film. The actors in the film are good and not afraid to stick their necks out to be funny. Tia Carrere and Rob Schnider are legends. As for the leading actress Tania Raymonde, I've seen her in two other quite different films and she seems to be able to play any role excellently.
