Teensploitation movies are getting better

Rating: 7/10 (17 June 1999)

I can understand the industry's latest fixation for movies with teenage actors aimed for a teenage audience. But I never understood why they had to be so lame; don't they respect teenagers' IQs?
Not that I expected sophistication from this genre of movies but a little more originality than throwaways like Varsity Blues and Cruel Intentions. Something started with Go and now there is American Pie. This movie is still very much juvenile but I found it drop dead funny. Countless masturbation and sex jokes and high school pranks, it makes me miss my high school days. It's fun to shut off your brain once in a while and just have some fun at the movies. This is a good comedy.
