    Dirty Effort.....

    This could have been your standard adult-teen-rom-com.

    But from the onset it reeks of indifference.

    The entire team moves through the movie like zombies, as if all they could care about is the paycheck at the end.

    Common how difficult is it to make a formulaic film and enjoy it???.

    We the audience enjoy it, we know what were getting into when watching such movies and more often than not.... we enjoy ourselves.

    But everyone in this movie comes across as bored but still trying to be cool.

    The premise of the movie isn't bad, 10 dirty deeds is more than what some movies have been made on, but the potential has been squandered.

    The stereotypes, which are critical for this genre, go through their roles with absolute lack of conviction.

    The energy levels are very low starting with the Protagonist who acts like he couldn't give a f^&k.

    The raunch levels are enough to get an R rating but not enough to being anywhere near gratifying. It doesn't help when all the wrong people are showing their boobs either.

    The finale is absolutely pointless and makes us feel like losers by deriding the very foundation that adult teen comedies are based on (people do stupid things once in a while ...and its OK).

    The only good thing going for this movie is that its short and you don't really ever get bored.

    -s misguided attempt at epic scenes, abysmal energy levels, shoddy acting.

    +/-s the protagonist is already the cool guy.

    +s short and doesn't really get torturous or boring.

    The ratings are more a function of the directors previous film which I consider one of the genre classics.

    The studios have punished him for this effort and we can contribute too by putting this movie low on our watchlist.

    It's plain Refreshing

    Dirty Deed's It's a fun and cool movie, really exciting to watch, but I believe that overall this movie is just another Cliché High-school comedy, everything you'd expect from one of these movies, and what you see is what you get, but don't label this move for what it is, I think it's awesome and the best High School movie out there. Watch pretty boy Zach go over the most grotesque, weird and amazing deeds and have fun watching it. Don't believe all the Up-tights reviews and rates you see out there for this movie, I think that they are way to low for what this movie truly deserves, but you be the boss, I say you give this movie a chance.

    I would have no problem watching this movie again and again, by myself or friends, If you ask me it's laugh out loud.

    In Heroes he has power....not so much in here

    This was an OK movie. It had an interesting story none a less. The end of the school year is here and it is time for the 10 dirty deeds. 10 horrible pranks done every year. But only one man has made it through all 10 and has disappeared. But now it is time for Milo Ventimiglia to try. This movie to me seemed like a teen movie, but with a better story line. It didn't really have a lot of comedy, but it was interesting to watch. I do really wish that they showed more of the dirty deeds since that is what the movie was about. But they really rushed them. The last few more more in depth, but that was it. These types of movies are usually made for fun. They are not made to be best comedy of the year. They are just made for a certain audience and to try to make more money than it cost to make it. So the movie was OK and that is just about it.

    Cheesy

    An American Pie-like teen comedy in which a high school senior (Milo Ventimiglia) tries to become the first student in years to complete the Dirty Deeds, an outrageous series of challenges that must be completed by the Homecoming banquet at 9 a.m.

    The best thing about this film is the inclusion of Bowling for Soup's song "Almost". The second best thing is having Lacey Chabert in a supporting role -- she deserves far more screen time than she gets.

    Beyond that, it was hit and miss. Some have categorized it as a raunchy comedy in the vein of "American Pie", and I have to agree that this was probably the primary inspiration for such a film. However, I would say this one had a bit less raunch (despite the bread incident) and that gives it a bit more class in my book.

    Entertaining but forgettable

    This film is about a group of college students having to do a series of pranks in order to get accepted into their fraternity.

    "Dirty Deeds" is quite a rip off from American Pie and all the other teenage comedies. A scene involving a piece of bread, which subsequently got eaten by a professor is fun but clichéd. I completely guessed that he would say it was best sandwich in the world! "Dirty Deeds" is an instantly forgettable brain off comedy.

    "Dirty Deeds" does not particularly stand out from the crowd, and the jokes all seem very familiar. However, it serves the purpose of being foolishly entertaining, which is what counts.

      If Duncan Rime was the last to perform all the deeds and back then there was only eight, adding one would have been nine deeds not ten.
