Movie Reviews

It's definitely a guilty pleasure movie.

It's nowhere near as good as Cruel Intentions, but there's something about it that makes it one of those movies you watch just to blow off some steam. It's a cross between American Pie and Sex and The City, with a cast you used to see a lot in movies and TV shows of that time. And beyond. It's fluff entertainment at its most primal, with jokes that are so outrageous, it is bound to make you smile. The « penis song » still feel as awkward and unrealistic as it did twenty years ago, but it's just another example of the movie never taking itself seriously, or pretending to be anything but fun all over. To those who are in the right frame of mind for it. It's a good romantic comedy as well, with unexpected twists and a believable romance. The soundtrack is very good too, and should've been released then. At the end of the day, it's a fine little movie, that grows on you, the more you watch it.

Fun but pointless

I did actually see this at the cinema when it first came out and remember thinking it was a bit ridiculous then, yet for some reason whenever it's on cable I always find myself re-watching it.I'm a fan of inappropriate, gross out humour, but I did think it was trying a bit too hard in places, namely the p*nis song.Still, Diaz and Applegate do have good chemistry, Jason Bateman is hilarious in his few scenes and while I couldn't say it was bust a gut funny I did laugh consistently throughout it.Can't rate it any higher than 5 though due to the pretty paper thin plot.
