Featured reviews
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.

poor me...I'm pretty bored in Provo. I had some bad interaction with new staff and a sweet potato retard that had existed previously... you see, I wanted entertainment since I knew I was going to be workin hard...as I always do when in Utah. so I surfed through interesting things revolving around who might be awesome...it took watching this to even give KNOCK KNOCK a chance starring Keanu Reeves. Its a movie just like all the other viewers have told you....its not meant to be a spoof LIKE The SUPERHERO MOVIE or any of those others like EPIC MOVIE and stuff...which are all pretty much lumped together as far as quality. I was pretty stunned to see the actor that ends up being with lacy chebert do so well.. hes' not the best actor but will get better...I'm sure with the right castmates hede be more versatile than Topher Grace with a gun in Double Jeopardy.
"Dirty Deeds" was a funny movie with teens doing what they do best: lust after girls, party, and get in trouble.
Zach Harper (Milo Ventimiglia) has agreed to do the notorious 'dirty deeds'. They are 10 dares to be done in 12 hours. The deeds get increasingly hard as he completes them, all the while every kid in the school is keeping track and rooting for or against him.
It's a typical senseless, check-your-brain-at-the-door, teenage comedy adventure. The movie is complete with every high school stereotype. There is some good comedy, a bit crude at times, but that is to be expected. It's nothing to go out of your way to see, but its cool for an uneventful night.

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.

Dirty Deed's It's a fun and cool movie, really exciting to watch, but I believe that overall this movie is just another Cliché High-school comedy, everything you'd expect from one of these movies, and what you see is what you get, but don't label this move for what it is, I think it's awesome and the best High School movie out there. Watch pretty boy Zach go over the most grotesque, weird and amazing deeds and have fun watching it. Don't believe all the Up-tights reviews and rates you see out there for this movie, I think that they are way to low for what this movie truly deserves, but you be the boss, I say you give this movie a chance.
I would have no problem watching this movie again and again, by myself or friends, If you ask me it's laugh out loud.
