It's end of High School year time and it's prank night!! Mix in porkys and all the other modern day high school movies and this is what you get.
It's about a guy who takes on the 10 dirty deeds, it hasn't been done for years and the last person to complete them all was about 13yrs ago and for the last bunch of years no one has tried and before that some only managed to do a few.
Has everything you expect, dorks, jocks, pot heads, white guys pretending to be black, house party thrown by a freshman trying to get in with the seniors, thick cops, boob shots, ditsy cheerleader types. and 10 pranks to be done by one guy All been done before and been done better, but still it's quite watchable.

This film is about a group of college students having to do a series of pranks in order to get accepted into their fraternity.
"Dirty Deeds" is quite a rip off from American Pie and all the other teenage comedies. A scene involving a piece of bread, which subsequently got eaten by a professor is fun but clichéd. I completely guessed that he would say it was best sandwich in the world! "Dirty Deeds" is an instantly forgettable brain off comedy.
"Dirty Deeds" does not particularly stand out from the crowd, and the jokes all seem very familiar. However, it serves the purpose of being foolishly entertaining, which is what counts.

This could have been your standard adult-teen-rom-com.
But from the onset it reeks of indifference.
The entire team moves through the movie like zombies, as if all they could care about is the paycheck at the end.
Common how difficult is it to make a formulaic film and enjoy it???.
We the audience enjoy it, we know what were getting into when watching such movies and more often than not.... we enjoy ourselves.
But everyone in this movie comes across as bored but still trying to be cool.
The premise of the movie isn't bad, 10 dirty deeds is more than what some movies have been made on, but the potential has been squandered.
The stereotypes, which are critical for this genre, go through their roles with absolute lack of conviction.
The energy levels are very low starting with the Protagonist who acts like he couldn't give a f^&k.
The raunch levels are enough to get an R rating but not enough to being anywhere near gratifying. It doesn't help when all the wrong people are showing their boobs either.
The finale is absolutely pointless and makes us feel like losers by deriding the very foundation that adult teen comedies are based on (people do stupid things once in a while ...and its OK).
The only good thing going for this movie is that its short and you don't really ever get bored.
-s misguided attempt at epic scenes, abysmal energy levels, shoddy acting.
+/-s the protagonist is already the cool guy.
+s short and doesn't really get torturous or boring.
The ratings are more a function of the directors previous film which I consider one of the genre classics.
The studios have punished him for this effort and we can contribute too by putting this movie low on our watchlist.

it is solid with the dude from American pie band camp and Lacey Chabert who is just sexy. but what makes this movie decent isn't the scenes with Zach or lacy its the football players and the principal that made this movie and honestly i am an insomniac and i cant stand watching something thats not new when incant sleep thats the best tie for a flick like this no doubt low budget and poorly Written but the scenes with the football players are absolutely hilarious u will hopefully think the movie is OK with the lack of actual party and real suspense but hey what do u expect watching a movie called dirty deeds when i clicked on it i thought it was porn . i was surprised with the acting from some of these actors but you haver to be pleasantly surprised with this movie enjoy the flick and all that it comes with hopefully
An American Pie-like teen comedy in which a high school senior (Milo Ventimiglia) tries to become the first student in years to complete the Dirty Deeds, an outrageous series of challenges that must be completed by the Homecoming banquet at 9 a.m.
The best thing about this film is the inclusion of Bowling for Soup's song "Almost". The second best thing is having Lacey Chabert in a supporting role -- she deserves far more screen time than she gets.
Beyond that, it was hit and miss. Some have categorized it as a raunchy comedy in the vein of "American Pie", and I have to agree that this was probably the primary inspiration for such a film. However, I would say this one had a bit less raunch (despite the bread incident) and that gives it a bit more class in my book.
