Foreign Exchange

I like sex-comedies. I do. If right, they can be really funny. American Pie is the example most people will give, and it is one of the best of it's kind. Even early sex comedies from Lloyd Kaufman, like the First Turn On! or Waitress. But this time, it's just getting annoying. Annoying characters, unoriginal storyline, unfunny jokes (although one your mom joke was hilarious), and so many more flaws. The story follows a geek who isn't getting any, and he is in love with a more popular girl, who he is friends with. Sound familiar? So, the geek's friends tell him he needs to have sex and blah blah...what do good friends do? They pressure their friend into having sex, and movies like this is probably why teens feel they need to have sex. Movies like this portray that this kid is a geek, until he has sex. And you may say, hey, in American Pie, they pressure the geek to have sex too! But that had a much better story, and actual funny jokes, and we can get on that subject another time. So in this movie, everyone gets foreign exchange students. The geek's student tries to screw up his life. In the end, you don't even like ANY of the characters, they are all really, just annoying. Just, I recommend avoiding this film. It is another teen sex comedy wanna be that steals it's ideas from every comedy ever.

I want my 80 minutes of life back, this movie tried so hard to be American Pie and pretty much every teen/sex/stoner comedy and ends up failing hard with a lot of unfunny, recycled/stolen jokes. Yes a guy shaves his pubes and suffers the consequences, just like in American Pie. Yes that's how awful it gets with blatantly trying to be other movies.

The characters were even worse, so blatantly ripped off and supposed to be teenagers but played by a bunch of 20-something year old nobodies who are still trying to get their careers started. There's the womanizing wild jock (gee sound familiar?) The innocent virgin guy waiting for the right one, the weird dad offering awkward sex advice to his son, the wild guy who wants to change for the right girl, the hot sex-crazed foreign exchange student, the stoner guy, etc etc. I think you already know where this is going.

I liked American Pie, 40 year old virgin, etc, I wasn't expecting a huge epic plot or anything, just to have a couple laughs, but I can't laugh at ripped off jokes and characters when it wasn't even a parody movie, and I can't even criticize it anymore because I've addressed pretty much everything and don't even think it deserves another paragraph. Don't even bother renting it.

Foreign Exchange is nothing other then just another team movie. It aims to be a little like American pie with a lot of sexual jokes. The story is really predictable and the jokes aren't really that good.

It's just another group friends who are trying to get to girls. The student exchange gives an opportunity for easy jokes because there are a lot different nationalities in the movie. But these easy jokes are not a relief for the movie.

Overall the movie wants to be another teen movie. But I would describe it as another bad teen movie. If I would describe this movie with 1 word it would be Predictable. There are way better movies in this genre at the moment.

Pretty much a low budget teen sex comedy. It makes you like the characters....and you kind of do pull for them.

Some may scoff at it, but if you are looking for a guy comedy, this is fine. Since 2012 or so, sex comedies have died and given way to PC trash. This movie is the stereotypical horny guys in high school, wanting to get laid, and have a good time.

These types of movies have a purpose and it's for males, people who date and couples to enjoy. Revisiting sex comedies is something men need to do. These movies are generally cheap, trashy, unbelievable, YET very entertaining and gives a few LOL moments that today's comedies lack.

8 out of 10. You will have fun watching it and the characters are very likeable. A guys movie.

I recently watched Foreign Exchange (2008) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around four friends concluding high school and getting ready for college. They welcome foreign exchange students into their lives, thinking they'll be the ones imparting American fun, but soon discover they have something to learn themselves.

Directed by Danny Roth (Tag), the movie features Ryan Pinkston (Young Rock), Vanessa Lengies (Glee), Randy Wayne (Hellraiser: Judgement), Tania Raymonde (Lost), and Daniel Booko (21 & Over).

Noteworthy in this film are the entertaining cameos by Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie), Curtis Armstrong (Revenge of the Nerds), and Clint Howard (The Water Boy). Expect the typical topless scenes and crude one-liners fitting the genre. While the storyline leans towards cliché and the circumstances feel a bit cheesy, the cast's dynamic keeps the film engaging, resulting in a few smiles and chuckles.

In conclusion, Foreign Exchange falls short of being a good film, but it's not a complete waste of time either. I'd give it a 4/10 and suggest watching it once for the cameos and light-hearted humor.
