Fun & Funny

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 1999)

This movie did what WWW couldn't. It was entertaining from start to finish. Although this movie follows on the foot steps of Austin Powers 2 and Big Daddy, I found that it was thoroughly more entertaining. The humor is not intellectual by any stretch of the imagination (and it wasn't meant to be) but it was well written and more importantly, well delivered.
The movie revolves around a group of friends that make a pact with each other that they would all lose their virginity by their prom night. What starts out as a group of guys trying every trick in the book to bed a girl turns out to be a self discovering journey that is riddled with humor that keeps you laughing right up to the closing credits. While there are those out there that may criticize this movie on its content, keep in mind that it is rated R and makes no attempt to hide that fact. Parents may be offended but the reality is that this movie does depict what many teenagers go through during the final year of high school.
All the actors portrayed their roles admirably and a large part can be attributed to good writing. This movie will attract a lot of the teenage crowd (at least those that can get in) but I'm sure that adult audiences will find it just as entertaining. This movie will definitely be compared to "Something About Mary" and the simple truth is that AP is much funnier and well worth the full admission.
