If you like the f word, you'll love this movie

Rating: 4/10 (9 September 2005)

So I went to this movie hoping to get a few laughs, and came out of it very disappointed. While I believe Steve Carrell's character was pretty funny, I found his band of misfit friends a headache. I know we're in the 21st century here, and I know cussing is a normal thing. However, saying the f word 500 times in a movie doesn't make it more interesting. In fact, it kind of degrades the script quite a bit. The material was funny, but would have been funnier without the language.
Coming from a woman's point of view, the way his friend's talk about "pussy" was quite annoying. I can take a crude joke like the best of them, but again the endless string of comments get tiring after a while. I mean how many times can you say "you're putting the pussy on a pedestal"? Sadly, I know some guys talk like that and that's pretty pathetic. But seriously, a few "p" jokes would have been sufficient enough.
However, the only thing I will give it credit for was the underlying message. It's okay to be who you are, virgin or not. I found Steve's character rather endearing and more attractive than his loser friends who try to change him. And as it turns out, the "nerd" won out in the end.
But seriously, unless you think it's cool to cuss all the time and make offensive jokes about women, I wouldn't sit through this one. You'll be very disappointed. It just might be too much for your virgin ears. (oh the pun!) ;)
