Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2004)

Any person that believes that this movie is an accurate picture of our society today should have their genitalia removed. Seriously, can't anyone just go to the movies and have an enjoyable experience without some nit-picker telling you how American women are easy going and very sexual. Do you know that in foreign countries such as Amsterdam, people have thousands of sexual partners? You wanna talk about loose women, don't talk about American women.
I'm not going to waste my energy anymore.
When I went to go see the movie, I had heard that the plot paralleled with Risky Business or American Pie. While the film contained some of the elements of each, you really can't compare them. Yes I know that the plot is the same in Risky except with a porn star, but this was still better.
In my opinion, American Pie was just an excuse to give us Shannon Elizabeth naked (and I'm not saying that's a bad thing.) But if you want to talk about the epitome of teen life, American Pie just doesn't do it. Yes, a large majority drink at parties and many have sex. American Pie really didn't offer the character development that Girl Next Door offered. In my opinion, it was better for me to relate to Emile Hirsch's character rather than Jason Biggs.
The casting director should be given a reward for finding one of the most attractive and talented actress in Hollywood right now. Not only did she blow me away with her striking good looks, but her acting was truly wonderful. She played every aspect of the role well and made a convincing Want-to-get-out-the-business porn star.
At the beginning, when we first met Eli, the sex-crazed friend of the main character, I could tell he would be a riot to watch. All his one-liners and drawn out speeches were hilarious. Masterful comedic timing enhanced every line and had me rolling in my seat.
Bottom line, great piece of cinema. Not quite your typical sex comedy, but it's a good thing we've gone away from the American Pie type of movies and gone back to more witty and classy times.
