Crude, cheap, puerile humour. Go see it.

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 1999)

I haven't laughed this much at a movie for aeons. This one is done by the same pair that did Dumb and Dumber, but it's a lot funnier. The movie has it's odd moments, such as the singing duo who turn up at the start. Go see it with a big crowd of like minded people, 'cause this is a film which can easily offend the more politically correct. I saw it when shown by the college film soc, and it is well suited to student film-goers. Definitely, leave your good taste buds at home - this is one that people with more mature senses of humour might balk at. This film makes a good point for button-fly jeans... The movie starts off slow, but after the initial pre-prom disaster scene, picks up speed. From the other comments posted here, I think if you've seen the trailer, then you might have seen a bit too much for your own good. Cameron Diaz is good at playing the innocent, and at the end you do begin to root a bit for Ben Stiller, who is initially a bit like Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, only worse so.
