Truthful Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2008)

I didn't know what to expect from this film but was pleasantly surprised. Seth, a high school senior two weeks from graduation has never actually been laid and desperately wants to to prepare himself (sexually) for college. Despite being an overweight, swearing, porn-loving yet somewhat sensitive mess of a teenager, he eyes baby-faced Jules as his destined conquest. However, he knows a hot girl like that will probably have nothing to do with him beyond casual conversation so he hopes to get her drunk and be the 'mistake' she regrets later. A mistake that he hopes will lead her to being his girlfriend for at least another two months before they part ways for college. Through all this, Seth has to deal with separating with his best friend, Evan who's going to a different college. An adventure ensues for Seth, Evan and their underrated third wheel of a friend, Fogell as they struggle to get enough alcohol to Jules' party, their ticket to getting laid. Two young and nutty cops add some remarkable fun to the whole plot. The dialog is well-scripted and honest. I found myself being able to relate to a lot of it (being kind of like Seth myself).
