The Apex of Truthful Comedies

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2007)

One observing the title of this movie for the first time would be under very much the same impression I was upon seeing the trailer for it; that it would simply be the newest in a string of the increasingly popular slapstick sexual comedies that never fail to please the numb-minded audience. You would say that I was surprised upon viewing it, and the experience was quite different, but its duty as a comedy never reached trough.
Being introduced to Andy brought forth an infinite potential of pleasing jokes but his evidently completely disoriented self, in terms of realizing the simple nature of a normal person, was only the target for the best of what the movie has to offer; Andy's small group of sadistic and apparently sexually experienced friends who after clearing up the theory that their action figure-collecting friend was homosexual, realize with much pride that their dear co-worker is a virgin and it immediately becomes their duty to "help" this person who was to become an even poorer soul upon their efforts.
Unintentionally antagonized by the prolonged description of the purpose of life, with a substantial bit of graphic sexual references, from his Middle Eastern co-worker Mooj, hit on by his seemingly sexually well- endowed boss, Paula, given pearls of wisdom about growing pot from his simple minded buddy Cal, adrift in the notion of deep romance from slacker Dave and utterly sent in the wrong direction by the "well laid" plans of the ladies man Jay, Andy meets only further confusion to be directed in the right directions when he falls for a woman running a "We sell your stuff on Ebay" store.
You might say that through these utterly painful learning experiences (and waxing sessions) that the viewer would be sympathetic for Andy, but in reality, the specter of the simple power of your friends to make feeble attempts at assistance (pioneered so brilliantly in The Big Lebowski) and engaging in malevolent pranks (such as locking you in a display room with a porno on) brings you to the notion that this comedy is one you are all to familiar with, and it is just Hollywood that allows this simplicity to unfold into a plethora of flawed personality demonstrations and sexual jokes whose roots you have already seen in past works, but come out in a more ingenious way than ever could have been thought to be conceived.
The sustained use of profanity to convey the utter comedies that unfold through the dimwitted friends and their Middle Eastern coworkers who just further substantiate the situations drastic effects on Andy's "adult growth" becomes a second language, one to be quoted again and again, and one that brings you up to think of Andy as someone just as common as anybody's friend and seemingly cheered on on the sidelines by a group of misfits who seemingly seek benevolence and end up inadvertently flushing you down the toilet (or sending a transvestite prostitute to meet with you).
The measure of how much you liked the recent comedies that have attempted to make sexual humor flawless has no effect on your attraction towards this movie. It is the simple nature of uncontrollable laughter brought on by the dumbest of the dumbest helping a man develop his manhood.
