I have to be honest, I really wasn't expecting much out of this film, I mean, Stiffler in a serious role? but wow was I pleasantly surprised, pleased as punch I would almost say. A truly heartfelt film, you get the sense the writer/director genuinely felt for his subject, which from what I have read about this film is really based on a true story which makes it even more funny in my opinion. The stuff in this movie is so funny it could not have been made up! Really well done with the writing and directing and I think it was the writer/directors debut film? which to me is even more impressive. Some of the scenes had me rolling on the floor with laughter, all in all well worth seeing, great, original and heartfelt, I really look forward to seeing more from this writer/director and I heard a rumor he plays the banjo!
Whoever wrote this movie is the definition of "American Loser." Nothing whatsoever in this movie made sense. Not funny, dramatic, or entertaining. Watching paint dry would be more entertaining than having to sit through this nonsense.
This is not at all funny. Expected it to be ok from seeing some of his other films.
Also don't really appreciate seeing dying fish in a movie.....

I did not believe that this movie is based on a true story till credits started to roll. Sean Scott, "stifler" from the American pie movies has been doing same old college humor based films for which he is been stereotyped into. But this is so him yet not so him. He has taken little of all the characters he plays in his film and made this wonderful character which although you find it funny at times, you start feeling sad, cause he just cant seem to get it right. He channels all his screw ups by sharing them with others making them laugh at them. A good change, yet not totally different, from Sean Scott. Keep up the good work "Stifler"!
Terrific tongue in cheek kinda humor. If you know Seann William Scott you know what you are gonna get. If not, simply expect timid and tragic and shameful silliness. Lots of it...
The story: This dude really hates himself. He is a total looser. No house. No job. No girlfriend. Nothing. He only has got his mommy to ask for money. BUT out of the blue, suddenly a beautiful blonde falls in love with him. DO DREAMS DO COME TRUE AFTER ALL? Nope. Everything fails. EVERYTHING.
THE GOOD; this looser dude has got the undeniable urge though to constantly talk about all of his misery and shortcomings in Alcoholic Self Help groups. The things that went wrong in his life, are so bizar, so miserable, yet simultaneously so funny that I actually enjoyed listening to it for 90 minutes.
Charming, endearing, and a bit sad. NOT laugh out loud funny all the time, but best suited for those who like this kind of tragic comedy silliness...Definitely an unknown little comedy gem.
