A "guy film" girls can really like

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2006)

So, there's some crude humor -- in fact, a *lot* of crude, sophomoric, juvenile-boy-type humor. But, women, if you are expecting nothing but fart jokes, I assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. It's actually a pretty gentle (and often insightful) take on male-friend interaction, but there's enough sophomoric, "P-word" joking around to keep your boyfriend/husband happy, yet enough genuinely touching moments to keep *you* happy.
It's a difficult movie to categorize -- part teen-style sex farce, and part true-romance, with enough laugh-out-loud, gut-busting moments for both male and female, straight and gay, hip and incurably-geek.
In short, it's the best date movie I've seen in many years -- and there's nothing so offensive that you couldn't watch it with your mom (that is, if your mom is capable of cracking up over condom jokes).
Big bonus for this viewer: MAD-TV's Mo Collins' brief but memorable cameo as as the "ex-lesbian", "Gina" (pronounced with a long "I").
Extra-extra bonus: The soundtrack. Among the standouts: The Joboxers' irresistible "Just Got Lucky"; the 1970s pop version of "Jesu Joy" (anyone else find this a welcome flashback via "Boogie Nights"?); and the main theme from "Hair".
Bottom line: Definitely watchable, rentable, and watchable-again. It's been a while since Hollywood has produced such an endearing sex farce.
