Lowbrow entertainment, at it's finest

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2013)

Let me make things clear. This movie is not an intelligent, moving piece of art that reflects life in in a beautiful way. But it's not supposed to be. It's intended as light fun. And in that aspect it clearly delivers. The characters are all wonderful. Jim despite being a bit of loser does try to do the right thing and does seem like a nice guy. There's nothing particularly wrong with him, he just wants to know what sex feels like and you do become invested in him as time goes on. Oz is a jock who hangs out with the geeks, not exactly the most original character but a guy with so much charisma you can't help but like him. Finch is an oddball who takes himself a tad too seriously but still means well and Kevin is more mature than his counterparts but still having as much fun as his friends. Each of them are very likable and the way they interact with each other is very funny. When they fall into these ridiculous situations, it's all the more hilarious than it would be to less interesting characters. The two scene stealer's though are supporting characters. Steve Stifler is the obnoxious womanizing asshole who you love to hate. Again kind of generic of a characters but Sean William Scott kills it in the role. He's just so funny and has so much fun on screen. And the other scene stealer is Jim's Dad(Eugene Levvy). This guy is so supportive of his son that it's kind of embarrassing for Jim. I think we can all admit we've had embarrassing conversation with our parents about the birds and the bees but this is just taking it to another level. For the viewer though, it's hilarious. The movie does have some teen drama as well and it does work because you care about the characters so much. Still it still remembers what it is and is an is 80% comedy. I can't say it's as funny as it probably was when it came out but it's still pretty damn funny and if you're still quoting "Warm Apple Pie" to this day, you'll know what I'm talking about
