From the writer of Van Wilder and the director of The Animal comes...

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2005)

a movie that doesn't suck. Emile Hirsh(The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys) and Elisha Cuthbert(24, Old School) make a cute couple in this sweet natured comedy. The problem is that the movie doesn't make the choice on what kind of a movie it wants to be, so it ebbs and flows within scenes between a sweet romance and a raunchy male fantasy. It could have been both, which would have been far more interesting. A good example is the scene where Eli(a lively Chris Marquette) shows Matt a video of Danielle. All we see are a bunch of unintelligible fleshy shapes. It would have made a bigger impact to see her get incredi-nasty to feel the horror that Matt feels. I assume that since the other two scenes where Elisha could have shown skin were skinless that she didn't want to do nudity. This is one of the cases where it hurts the film, although the scene in the motel is suitably jaw dropping. On the other hand, the stripper scene and Eli porn scenes deny the innocent tone of the film. Despite these discrepancies, the movie is still enjoyable. Timothy Olymphany(Go, Scream 2), James Remar(48 Hours), Paul Dano, and Timothy Botttoms(That's My Bush) add to the fun. Small appearances by Amanda Swinton(American Wedding) and Sung Hi Lee(Playboy Playmate) as porn stars get the blood boiling for the horny. The music is great(Hoochie Coochie Man, Lady Marmalade, and Teenage Wasteland). A fun little movie.
P.S. The juice squeezing line sucks a lot.
P.P.S. Isn't it about time for a romantic comedy titled Where the Boys Aren't.
