Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I'm guessing that most people are watching this movie based on the cover, expecting lots of topless women and zany teen antics, and while it does deliver the prior it does so in such a dull and boring manner that I couldn't bring myself to be interested. None of the actors ever display emotion and the soundtrack, while fitting in this kind of movie, feels completely flat and does nothing to drive the movie. Additionally the lighting looks like it was shot in a grocery store, with the flat color that only rows of fluorescent lights can give. It's like the 'writers' looked up every teen trope they could and tried to shove it an 86 minute movie. If you really want to see a teen comedy that does 'trope packing' I recommend "Not Another Teen Movie" or the first two "Scary Movie" flicks, or if you're just looking for a good teen comedy, I'd say "Easy A" would be a good pick.

First i will tell you what this film isn't, its not American pie 643 or road trip 100 its the same genre but is completely original and i liked it i found it funny in many parts and whilst watch a crap film i find my self doing other things on my laptop surfing at the same time but not with this film it was non-stop all the way through a great film i hope the creators of this film go on to make other films like this. throughout the film we got to learn all about the characters they all had there own personalities and played of each other very well my favourite obviously was Gwen but i also liked her dad too. This film makes you believe this is really what California is like just a crazy place like how californication does in a way. I would recommend renting this film to any one who likes the whole college high school type film and rate it right up there, Sean William Scott does not have to be in this kind of film to make it good.

This movie is supposed to be a satire/spoof of teen high school sex movies. In fact, the high school is even called "American High School." It's supposed to lampoon the other movies by going completely over the top, with every student being super-sexed, super-drama magnets. However, the movie lacks two key ingredients for a good spoof movie: wit and charm.American Pie had both (which was why it was successful). The main characters were understandable enough that you actually wanted them to succeed. In this movie, all the main characters seem to suffer from multiple personality/bipolar/other mental illnesses as they will completely flip 180 digress from scene to scene. The best example of this is the "most popular guy in school/main character's husband"Right in a row he: First rejects the main antagonists' "subtle: advances (and my subtle I mean she shoves him against a tree, tears off his shirt and offers him a bj). He calls her a dumb whore and ditches her. Then in the very next scene she offers him a ride and asks to go out to lunch with him and he accepts. Then in the next scene he's talking to his wife about how he asked the "dumb whore" out to prom and that he didn't think she (wife) would be upset.Seriously...WTF?And this isn't an isolated incident. At prom the husband is seen dancing and grinding against the "dumb whore", grabbing her ass and then in the very next scene is trying to apologize to the wife saying he misses her. If they portrayed him as a chauvinistic pig like many of the other male characters, that would have been fine, but they tried very hard to portray him as a "sensitive, confused boy who just got married too young."Anyway, the ONLY reason I can think someone should want to watch this is to see tits, and again you'll be disappointed. There is one scene where Nikki Ziering (age: 38) partially exposes her breasts so her art class can get "inspiration."Here's a hint for all you adolescent boys, she gets more naked in American Wedding (she's Officer Krystal) and that's actually a decent movie.

Where do I start? I feel ashamed that I wasted the precious minutes of my life watching this movie past the 10th minute. First, most of the actors in this movie do not even deserve the title of "actor". It felt like the person who casted this movie just asked some of his best friends to be in the movie or picked people off the street. Seriously, this was some of the worst acting I have ever seen.The next thing you'll notice is that the sound was totally amateur. It's as if they shot the movie with a video camera and didn't even think to use a microphone. But you can tell there was a sound mixer-- who probably works at a dry cleaning shop for his day job. There are some scenes where you're supposed to believe there is a crowd watching and you can just hear how cheesy the crowd sound effect is. Really, the sound on this film is embarrassing.The plot. Who cares? This movie was made as if they just got together and made it up as they went along. I've heard Chinese torture is pretty bad, but it ain't got nothing on this movie.
