You Gotta Go!

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2004)

So I've been bringing a different friend to the theater every weekend to see this movie. It hasn't received a bunch of hype and it looks as though many critics aren't fully appreciating this film. I had seen the trailer online months ago and was looking forward to seeing it just because of the "carrot on a stick" T&A factor (hey, I can be honest with myself) and the oh-so-cute Elisha Cuthbert.
But then the release date was pushed (and then again, if I remember correctly) so it wasn't until I was killing some time and saw it was playing as a sneak preview one weekend that I finally got to see it. I gotta tell you, I wasn't expecting much in the way of story or plot... or even acting, just some cheap jokes that hopefully be worth my $9 and to see what it could have been like if a porn star had moved in next door (cruel fate!).
Man, was I surprised! I haven't laughed that hard in a theater in a long time. And rather than just showcasing hot chicks as porn stars or objects it reminded me of what it was like to have a crush and fall in love back in high school (with a little added fantasy factor). I left that theater feeling really great and with renewed faith that "teen sex comedies" can contain a real sense of romance rather than just "poop and fart" jokes.
So I've been doing my part to make sure I get as many people as I can to check it out and so far they've all loved it! I want to make sure that Hollywood makes more of these kind of movies and less of those "gross-out comedies". So... You Gotta Go!
