McLovin!

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2008)

This gross-out coming-of-age comedy from the American Pie stable is absolutely hilarious from start to finish. The reason why it works so well is because of the realistic characterisation, they are not stereotypes but people anyone who has been to high school can relate to. Also the narrative is densely plotted, leaving space for all manner hilarious mishaps. Disguised under all the brilliant comedy is a delicate message about friendship and its connotations and that makes the chemistry between the characters more believable. Also the supporting cast is great, particularly Christopher Mintz-Plasse making his debut as McLovin, every scene he was in creased me up. A great teen comedy, with hilarious one-liners, a more complete film than Knocked-up and Virgin.
8/10
