Tudo para Ficar com Ela

This movie wants to be "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Risky Business" and "American Pie" but it misses the mark severely and just doesn't have what made those other films good or even great. It's shock-value for the sake of shock-value and gross for the sake of being gross. There is no real heart or soul in this film. The characters are stereotypical for the sake of being stereotypical with no real cleverness or subversion happening. This film could have also really benefitted greatly from a script doctor, because so much of this comes off as low-budget fodder that a production company shoots out to fill their yearly quota. I do not blame the author of the novel this is based off of for disavowing this film.

Also I'm so sick of this "blaming a teenager for a grown adult perusing them sexually" trope. It is udder nonsense. It sends a horrid message that absolves any responsibility from the adults at hand who should know better than to actively seek out to be with a minor.

Overall, "Behaving Badly" had potential, but the creators behind the scenes clearly didn't care about fulfilling any of it.

Mostly this screwball lewd comedy about a nerd who pursues a girl and a crazy set of events unfold does not work. There are some laugh out loud moments but they are minor ones like the Stanford thing. Also there are such good stars you kind of want to watch to see how they act. The plot isn't convincing in a comical way and the crudeness and vulgarity aren't funny most of the time and border on painful and not even funny juvenile in an American Pie way just painful. Kind of feel terrible for fine actors and actresses like Elizabeth Shue, Dylan McDermott here. Mary Louise Parker surprisingly shows some versatility here, different from her previous roles. Nat Wolff is not charismatic enough a dork to carry off this role. Selena Gomez looks cute enough. Heather Graham is quite funny.

Overall only see it if you are in the mood for a few very crude chuckles.

The first time I watched it I thought it was totally enjoyable. The second time I watched I thought it's also really quite forgettable and a bit monotonous. So maybe it's only good for one watch. It can often depend on how you're feeling too, as to how you receive a film on any particular time. I think it's a contrived comedy film. The lead character has a lot of snide comments about things. It reminds me of Ferris Bueller in some ways. The Poster has Selena Gomez on it but she's a very incidental character to the plot. It shows the target audience. I however like and know the two female leads, mainly Elizabeth Shue whom I remember from the 80s and the chick from Weeds. What's his name from Earl is wasted. In fact that's the thing about this film, it's all over the shop in terms of a coherent story line. That is fatiguing to watch.

Stupidest movie i ever seen, but , oh what a .... Perfect for rainy afternoon

Okay, okay this is obviously not a 10/10 movie. But I felt compelled to give it a high rating due to the ridiculous hate it seems to be getting.

It's not supposed to be a masterpiece. It's an attempt at irreverent comedy delivered in deadpan style. As such, it succeeds. It's not for everyone and I'm sure plenty of people will find something to be offended over, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. I found it quite funny, and there isn't a bad performance to be seen. Elizabeth Shue is especially good.

There are so many genuinely bad movies accepted as decent out there. It surprises me to see this one being so targeted.
