Sophomoric

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2007)

There were some great one-liners in the move but the writing was basically very weak. The writer used the "F Bomb" to excess and this illustrated a sophomoric sense for script writing. Also, the male lead, Ben Stone played by Seth Rogin,ending up with the female lead, Alison Scott played by Katherine Heigl, reminded be of another movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in that the lead role ended up with someone way out of their league, ie. Seth Rogin, aka, Ben Stone, could never, repeat NEVER, get a girl like Katherine Heigl, a.k.a. Alison Scott. Of course the premise being that when one is drunk they lose their common sense. Believe me, NO women gets drunk enough to sleep with Seth Rogin. Although I found a lot of laughs in the movie, I also thought the use of vulgarities to be excessive and offensive. It's sort of like when you go see a stand-up comedian live, you know right away if he's got great material by not only the laughs he receives but also the number of curse words he uses, i.e., if he has to use a lot of curse words it means he probably depends on the words to prop up an otherwise humorless routine.
