I want to eat cherries off Elisha Cuthbert's lower back and stomach... that being said: Oh god, oh god, oh god. How I wanted to despise this movie, how I really did. And I was getting there on the first half which was so bad, and then suddenly it became funny. Did I mention I wanted to hate this movie? I thought this would suck so badly, and that it would be purely awful, but in the end I couldn't bear but like it. This is so bad it's good, and I really got a kick out of this movie, I have to say. I was really about to give this one star since the first and second half of the movie feel so different in tone, and story, but it got better. I was shocked, and I hate those prick writers for making me like this movie. I even started laughing when the movie was over thinking about the comedic lines. This movie is so ridiculous and stupid and mindless, and I got a kick out of it. I was angry that I actually liked this movie. It won't win awards, and I will not spend any money on it, but for a good time I suggest you check this out... if you're a guy.

The movie's basic plotline is dumb, but I just didn't care, and the casting is tricky. Usually the casting of a hot girl to distract me never works, but here, looking at Elisha Cuthbert, I just couldn't help but dismiss the flaws. And there were plenty of flaws. Elisha Cuthbert is really hot. Not really hot, ridiculously hot, my screen was smoking, I'm not kidding. She has this amazing face and unbelievable body, she's just not human, and that was the saving grace for me with this movie. Watching her parade herself back and forth was amazing and she won me over completely. And then there's Timothy Olyphant who plays sleazy porno director Kelly, who proves to be quite an obstacle and nemesis for Hirsch's character and he's just bad ass, it's as simple as that. That dude has an intensity to him that makes the audience stand at attention, and obviously Hollywood is noticing with his onslaught of roles including "Deadwood" which I love. Olyphant is entertainingly over the top in this film, with all the usual clichés with spiky hair, a menacing grim, and sleaze galore.

He stole the movie away from all the other actors with his over the top comedy and one-liners that made me break in to laughter often. Without him, I doubt I'd have spoken so well of this movie. The movie is helped further by the good performances from Chris Marquette and Paul Dano who are very funny and not the usual horn dog best friends of the main character. They have personalities, and they become fun to watch as they watch in awe as their friend canoodles with porn stars and the ungodly hotness of Cuthbert. As for the movie, unfortunately, it made me laugh pretty hard in certain sequences that were ridiculous, from the porn convention right down to when Hirsch's character is slipped ecstacy and begins getting high during an important speech. That sequence was hilarious and succeeded in what it was blatantly trying to accomplish. The film does have these ridiculous scenes like when the girl is asking to be in a porn movie, but they were so ridiculous, I couldn't help laughing.

I would have given this a better rating had I gone in to this fresh and new, but after having seen "Risky Business" last year, I just couldn't bear how much of an utter rip-off this is of "Risky Business". Fans are going to say it merely borrowed from it, but that's crap, this is a major rip-off, from the plot, to the characters right down to the ending. It's all just so damn contrived and ripped from the previous better film. Think about it, young unpopular man with the possibility of making it big in a corporation in high school is unsure of his life and his future, has two unpopular friends, and inept parents living life as a yuppie, is seduced by a voluptuous beautiful blonde woman with a shady past and profession, and he tries to keep up with her as she gets him in to all sorts of trouble, and meets her associate who, while seemingly nice, is a very dangerous sleazeball, gets himself in hot water having to pay off money to the dangerous associate, has a certain time to pay it off, all the while must tackle getting in to the college of his dreams, the two main characters have a relationship in the end and have sex in a moving vehicle to music without audio between the two, and even the theme music is the same! I swear at one point I heard theme music similar to that of Tangerine Dream. It's very subtle, but so damn blatant, it's just ridiculous.

Did the writers think they could steal the winning formula from that movie and make a hit, or did they subconsciously steal the elements? Regardless it's just utterly disgraceful and
misses anything even remotely original about this. Apart from that this movie is really ridiculous from the get go with a plot that is just so hard to explain without someone looking at you like you pissed on the floor. This was marketed towards teens? Folks, this is what I'm talking about. The MPAA. The trailer makes this look like an "American Pie" clone with raunchy but innocent little snippets, and outtakes that make this look like a fun night out, but don't be fooled this is so much more. This movie is so graphic for a teen movie with sexually explicit content that ranges from lesbian kisses, plenty of T and A, and a lot of sexually graphic content.

As a guy I'm not complaining, I'm no prude, but with the trailer marketing itself as a fun night out for a fifteen year old, it's just so irresponsible. It got the R rating, good, but look at the trailer and you'd never know this movie is so sexually graphic. As for the plot, it's just ridiculous. This suffers from, what I call, two movie syndrome in which one half of a movie is different from the second half and oh boy is the first and second half of this completely different, in fact they felt like different movies or sequels combined. The plot at the first half where he's trying to win her over feels like it was the original plot, and the rest of the crap afterwards is just nothing but filler, and a really long conclusion that draws out twenty minutes too long.

Secondly, the relationships between the two main characters here is so unrealistic, and forced. They have an instant attraction to one another but we don't know why. Why does Danielle take an interest in him in the first place? Their relationship makes no sense. Why does she even like him? Why does he like her aside from her looks? What do they have in common that's not consisted of superficial qualities? Not to mention their dialogue most of the time is so vapid and shallow, and uninteresting. She then explains later on she likes him because of the way he looks at her, but she's a porn star, don't all guys basically look at her with wide-eyes and gaping jaws? The story rushes their romance along really quickly and doesn't know how to even out the sub-plots within the movie and instead just has two different halves of one movie. Their romance is so forced, so artificial, and so uninteresting and it's a ridiculous premise that never takes time for set-up to be believable, and just ends up being ridiculous.

He has to earn a lot of money to bring in some foreign exchange student so he makes a movie in the school? Where are the security guards? You figure in a prom there'd be some good security to watch things, but there isn't. Ultimately, it's all just so awful and contrived, I just couldn't help knowing that the writers found a loophole slyly remaking a classic without having to go through the legal red tape or scrutiny in doing so.

This is one of those so bad it's good films that will surely become a cult classic five years from now for being so utterly mindless and ridiculous. This is a bad movie; the plot is a rip off of "Risky Business" (a much better movie), the romance is trite, forced, awful, and the story sloppy, but the only saving graces are Elisha Cuthbert and Timothy Olyphant. The hottest chick in the world, and the biggest bad ass in Hollywood.
