Here's a fun one. Poorly made, very poorly made. But it does it's job.

Some guys make a fake movie to meet chicks. Great idea!

It is what it is

Parental warning. There are a few instances of nudity. Overall, I enjoyed the movie and laughed several times. Each character has his or her personality that were all crafted by the actors into a wonderful array unique and memorable identities. Great movie for a rainy day.

Some of you hardcore IMDb'ers will scoff at my 7. You may even write me off altogether as a reviewer, and that's okay. All I really want to do in writing reviews at all is to impact a few people and share my experiences with them. Now that you have my mission statement, let's get on to the review.

This is funny, as in laugh out loud watch it with your girlfriend funny. That is not to say that it has an exceedingly high production budget, but as we have seen from recent films ( you know which ones I am talking about ) that doesn't necessarily equate to a good watching experience. Comedy is a tricky thing, what one person finds funny other people will simply hate. That's life.

The bottom line is, this is much better than the slew of romantic comedies being hurled at us starring people we are all tired of seeing who aren't even that funny to begin with. That's why it gets a 7. Fresh faces, fresh comedy.

I can't really emphasis enough how dude-bro generic most of the jokes are in this comedy. That's not to say that it isn't occasionally funny, it's just that almost every joke revolves around boobs or being gay, so it is pretty basic.

If you like American Pie style humour, but don't care about the use of any actual known actors or having a budget, then this is a decent enough watch. Also if you just want to see some hot women who aren't really given any purpose beyond being there to look at then this will be a fine movie for you.

Overall it was mildly amusing, while being extremely predictable and childish. It did get a little annoying being that it was so basic but it seemed like the makers of the movie thought they were doing something really original and kept trying to reinforce that. Apart from that it is an okay watch, just don't expect a great story, deep characters or outlandish laughs. Passable.

This film begins with a young man by the name of "Justin" (Justin Smith) complaining about his inability to attract members of the opposite sex. So, to remedy that problem, he and some of his colleagues decide to make a fake movie in order to attract single females during the audition process. To that effect, the film itself is told in a documentary fashion in order to capture the thoughts of everyone involved in this fiasco from start-to-finish. So much for the plot. Now, as far as the actual movie is concerned, although there were a number of nice-looking actresses involved, I can't say that their presence honestly helped in any way due to the bland script and the incredibly shallow format. To be totally frank, this movie was neither funny, sexy or even remotely interesting. At least not to me. But then, I graduated from the 7th grade many years ago. That being said, unless a person enjoys low-class humor of this sort, this is not a picture that I would recommend and I have rated it accordingly.
