Great soundtrack/Goofy film, but slightly entertaining

I have difficulty finding the words to tell you how bad it is.

This must be the worst movie I've ever seen. There is no plot, aside from the lead character trying to score the hot girl, which I can safely say has been done before. The acting is just awful, I haven't spotted one true emotion. The movie was cut together in a very unorganised way (and I'm not talking Pulp Fiction style) and seemed to just stop before the story was over (and I'm not talking Lock Stock style).

Don't get me wrong, I liked American Pie, all three where a good way of passing time. Road trip was funny, and so was Euro trip. I'm not an enemy of the genre, just an enemy of this lousy movie. . out of *****

Don't say i didn't warn you.

Typical as a sequel attempt

This is a typical attempt to make a sequel movie to others that have rocked the box offices, such as the American Pie and Road Trip series.

The plot is stereo-typical, the acting is bad - not necessarily on any one actor's experience, but more on poor script-writing, bad editing and poor direction. There are some very accomplished actors in this movie, but unfortunately they were given sleeper roles.

In my opinion, this movie was not worth the $3.99 + tax I paid to rent it. I would have been very disappointed if I had paid theater price to see this movie (if it had a theater run even.)

If you don't mind paying to download movies from an authorized download site and viewing them on your PC or renting "sleepers" from your local Movie Rental location, then its up to you to see it. I would however, recommend viewing a movie like "Guess Who" or "The 40 Year Old Virgin" as an alternative.

without doubt one of the most awful movies I have seen

Although I don't dislike movies like American pie (they are funny in their own way), this movie "Sex and the teenage mind" was no less than torture for my mind.

The jokes were old, to say the least, predictable and clumsy. Please, save yourself the torment of watching this movie; it is without doubt one of the most awful movies i have ever seen.

Oh my lord....why?

This movie is terrible. How else can I put it? At least American Pie was entertaining and the comedy was raunchy yet interesting. This movie is a disgrace to the motion picture industry. How was this atrocity released? I spent 4 bucks on this trash! Holy crap I could have spent that money on a quarter pounder with cheese and had some sort of temporary satisfaction. There's not even a good sex or nude scene! The acting is just BAD, the story is just Cliché, the directing is just CRAP. There's nothing funny about this at all. I can't believe you IMDb users gave this a 4.8, why? Why is this not sitting on the bottom 100? Did you think it was cute? Oh my lord.....why? 2/10

Worse than a Uwe Boll film

I should have immediately known this was a bad movie when the biggest names in it were washed-up sitcom co-stars. This was by far, the worst thing I have ever seen. I could tell it would be a stereotypical teen comedy, and in fact I only watched it because it had Winnie Cooper in it, and I've been in love with her for as long as I can remember. Not anymore! I cannot believe anyone would sink so low as to make this movie. Every character is a stereotype, it has terrible acting, an atrocious script, and the most predictable plot I've ever seen in my life. There where characters that just stopped showing up halfway through the movie, scenes that contributed nothing to the plot and never went anywhere, and every sort of gross-out gag you can imagine. I could only suggest this movie if you feel like torturing yourself for an hour and a half.

Drop-Dead Atrocious: Absolutely no redeeming qualities in this movie

Bad movies can be categorized into two groups. The first group is that they're so bad, they're funny, and they ultimately achieve a cult status. The latter group contains movies that are flat-out bad and possess no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I purchased Sex and the Teenage Mind for two dollars (tax included) at a run-down department store in a trailer park neighborhood. I am currently debating if I should go out of my way to return this movie for my two dollars back, even though I'll spend more on gas going there.

Sex and the Teenage Mind has no novel qualities. The plot is exceptionally cliché: sexually frustrated nerd and his moronic and equally sexually frustrated friend want to find sex in high school. Is there a deadline or something else at stake for this to happen? No, of course not, because that would follow BASIC LAWS OF SCREENPLAY WRITING, and that would just be too smart for this masterpiece.

The girl isn't even that hot. I don't understand why it received an R rating, although there were two vulgar words and no nudity. One cannot make a movie called "Sex and the Teenage Mind" and it not have any sex scenes. Furthermore, the acting was God-awful - every single actor and actress (maybe not Danica McKellar, but that's just a maybe). The jokes were puerile. The dialogue was joke within itself.

Basically, the DVD box is more interesting than anything in this 90 minute debate of me shooting myself in the temple. In summation, I purposely registered on IMDb to speak to the world of this complete abomination. Do not buy it. Do not watch it. Do not speak of it. MGM has produced many worthwhile movies, and because of that it is not right to slander its name with this atrocity.

A Perfect Example on how NOT to do a Teen Comedy!

Luckily I was someone who caught this movie on Crackle instead of paying for it which was one of the only pros of this.. to stay nice... lackluster teenage comedy coming from what people call "The Golden- Age of Gross out Teenage Comedy", films like American Pie, Saving Silverman, Road Trip, among others. The idea of the title actually makes sense when looking at the premise, as most of the ideas that they come with to get laid are thought up and so like the title insane. The acting is pretty poor and the writing is dreadful. It seems as though they write the characters to be "the fat one who eats cause he is fat haha" instead of what American Pie did and put "The jock with a good pleasant heart" or "The good nerd who just wants to get laid", sure they still weren't "stellar" character traits but they sure had a bit of effort put into them. The ending was... bad. I am not going to spoil it but it was shocking, but really awful. It seemed as though they thought that their ending was too over the top so they decided to try again, and still failed. If you can watch this for free by legal means then I recommend watching it just as a showcase on how to NOT do a teen comedy. Otherwise Skip skip skip skip skip!

Not that bad could have been funnier in most parts great ideas bad execution

The best part of the movie was that i rented it expecting a stinker but the library was shutting and my friends were getting irritated and as last choice i got this movie.

Well even though this movie was predictable, lacked the hotties that i come to expect in good teen comedies and most of the jokes were very creative but badly executed i really didn't dislike the movie.

The 86 minute or something movie was short and sweet and one never really gets bored nor does one have to much fun.

The stereotypical fat and horny guy comes across as the only winner in this otherwise listless film.

Don't rent this movie in a hurry but if there's absolutely no choice then rent this one at least none of your friends will insult you.

Genius

When watching this film, Sex and the Teenage Mind, one must ask themselves this question. Is Sex and the Teenage Mind a great film or the greatest film? It is truly one of the great tragedies of the 21st century that this amazing masterpiece was overseen for the Academy Awards. Never in all my years of viewing cinema has such a tremendous film been brought before me. It portrays the life of a young boy, Virgyl and his struggle with puberty, hormones, and even worse..............girls!!! Virgyls very sexually active parents suggest that he tries to find a girlfriend and become more sexually experienced. Virgyl is also helped out by his good buddy, the great film actor Michael Bower, and is taught how to sweet talk the ladies, master the difficult art of putting a condom on, and what are the best magazines to 'jack off to'. Virgyl then finds the girl of his dreams and stands up for her in their US History class. But oh no Virgyl, watch out. The girl of your dream's girlfriend, Scott, is a real jock jerk. But oh no, what's this? To repay Virgyl, Kelly hires a hooker to have sex with him. An all too common plot scenerio. This movie has laughs, love and most of all a great soundtrack. From the impersonations of the bee gees to the girl band cover of 'Doctor Doctor'. This movie has it all. A must see for any horny boy that wants to see a movie with one scene of a naked lady or a boy that has rapist thoughts when they look at a girl. This movie was definitely 90 sweet minutes in hump city

Ug.

Ug. This was pretty bad.

There was just nothing original about it. Nothing but a bunch of mismatched stereotypes from a whole list of teenage angst films, all vomited together.

The only moment worth watching was this one "kind of funny" scene where Danica McKellar confronts the main kid. Mascara running down cheeks, etc. She totally pulled it off.

But seriously, she wasn't in the movie that much, and it wasn't worth watching the whole movie for. Stay AWAY...!

I'm just tired of all the bad films out there. PLEASE entertain us!

Holy crap....this was just plain awful.

We just finished watching this.

We figured it would bad, but there would probably be some nudity...so why not. (By the way there is next to none and it's not good.) DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. This isn't even funny bad. There isn't a plot, it uses clichéd parts from other movies, the acting is the worst I've ever seen (that kid was way better as Donkey Lips from "Salute your shorts").

I'm not sure where it was trying to go. Now I know why I had never heard of it. It should be burned so no other person has the misfortune of wasting minutes of their life that would be better spent doing ANYTHING else.

Pure garbage.

Worst teenage film ever

I'm saying that as someone who's seen all of the mainstream and a lot of the indies. 0 character development, 0 plot, 0 laughs. This is "the room" level bad and that third act was a big middle finger to anyone bored enough to watch this nonsense.

Needs To Be Seen More Than Once v1.00

Viewing on Prime Video, I did not notice the IMDb rating until much later. I liked it enough for a second viewing and afterwards I peaked at the IMDb rating and could not accept 4.1 as a fair rating.

So, a leading character is Dwayne, best friend of hero Virgil. First viewing you might just be amazed at how horrific Dwayne manages to be. Second viewing less so, with me he had become just a character.

Second viewing it was as if I was just discovering one of the better 1980's school movies that I had not seen before. Given that, it was fairly predictable and I consider that as part of the charm. I prefer to rate this as 8.
