What a wondrous surprise...

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2007)

I have to say, I only watched this due to the rating it had got IMDb. I am not normally into comedies, particularly ones that involve American teenagers coming of age sort of thing. The last similar one I watched was American Pie, which although I can understand why people did find it funny, it was not for me. This however was surprisingly hilarious and at times had me laughing out aloud. I would say that men more than women would prefer this film as for me part of the humour was looking back to me male teen years and thinking 'Yes, thats exactly right.' and cringing with embarrassment. In hindsight however, these incidents were funny. The film manages to hit home very well the awkwardness of situations which are of your own doing, and the one track mind of being an adolescence. Throw in some bizarre behaviour by some of societies so called respectable members and the story never really slows down. But for me it has to be the one liners throughout the film, the ones that I have made up my mind to remember but am never able to. I found it so good I was able to watch it twice in 24 hours due to my wife wanting to watch it the next day.
