Featured reviews
I'm struggling to understand how this got such good reviews. I usually rate the IMDb score as the gold standard but something has gone seriously wrong here. I did see the trailer, it was good and contained the only laughs of the movie. The movie was truly the most tedious thing I have ever experienced. Why did it get such good reviews from critics and such a high score on IMDb? User reviews here are spot on. Not a single good review. The reviewer above who mentioned he had sat down to more entertaining bowel movements surpassed any joke in the film.
Something is very wrong here.

Honestly, when I first saw the trailer for this, my immediate reaction was "my god, this looks terrible." But then I saw it getting pretty good reviews from critics *and* viewers, which convinced me to see it. Might be the next Animal House, I thought. It wasn't. It's a lot of low- effort comedy executed unspectacularly. I mean, maybe everyone else started finding run-of- the-mill dick jokes funny while I wasn't looking, but the most I got out of it was a chuckles maybe every 10 or so minutes. And it's not like I have a problem with crass humour, I like South Park (and other Seth Rogan movies, for that matter), this just wasn't funny.
While I didn't quite find this movie as hideous as many others clearly do, the combination of obvious gags, badly developed characters and lazy acting makes for a fairly forgettable experience.
I saw this film on opening day with a friend because I was bored, and did not expect much. After seeing the trailer I thought "this movie will make me laugh a bit, but will probably suck overall", and I was mistaken. I was pleasantly surprised by how funny this movie was surprisingly funny. I am not a big Seth Rogen fan, but he was funny. The biggest stand-out performance was from Zach Effron. He has come a long way since being a Disney star, and he was the reason for a good number of laughs I got from this film. I see a lot of reviews on here complaining about how dirty and vulgar this film was... did none of you read the rating? This movie is rated R for "pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout"... I mean, for God's sake Rogen and Effron get in a dildo fight(which was hilarious).If you are offended by such things, a prude, or easily offended in general, you probably should not see this film. If you do not care about that, and expect a fun movie full of laughs, cussing and partying, this is a film for you. Hope you enjoy.
The premise looks funny. The trailer is mildly amusing. The final product is lame. Unfortunately, the funniest parts are all in the trailer, so after about 30 minutes it just felt like I was sitting around waiting for the next scene I had already seen in the preview.
Some of the scenes seemed like first takes. I felt like I was watching DVD extras. I highly doubt they had a completed script. It felt like they were winging it half the time, which basically means Seth Rogen playing Seth Rogen, which was old ten years ago.
Skip this and go find yourself a midnight screening of Revenge of the Nerds.
