Not Generally My Kind of Movie, but It Works

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2005)

I tend to be drawn to character and plot-driven dramas. The sophomoric sex humor movie doesn't generally appeal to me. My 16 year-old wanted to see this and I thought that there might me a laugh or two.
There were many more laughs than that. I was laughing from the first scene to the goofy end. I haven't laughed that much since "Four Weddings and a Funeral".
I can't really say there was a lot of depth to the characters, but they weren't superficial clichés, either. Each character contributed to the setup for the nearly continuous set of very funny lines. The writing is really exceptional. Of course, the jokes are essentially sex humor, but they are exceptionally and unexpectedly witty... and darn funny.
There's not a lot of surprise in the plot, of course. The movie doesn't spend a lot of time trying to interject drama into what is unabashedly a comedy. That's a good thing. This is an great way to spend a couple of hours with some quite funny sexually oriented humor.
