Foreign Exchange

I want my 80 minutes of life back, this movie tried so hard to be American Pie and pretty much every teen/sex/stoner comedy and ends up failing hard with a lot of unfunny, recycled/stolen jokes. Yes a guy shaves his pubes and suffers the consequences, just like in American Pie. Yes that's how awful it gets with blatantly trying to be other movies.

The characters were even worse, so blatantly ripped off and supposed to be teenagers but played by a bunch of 20-something year old nobodies who are still trying to get their careers started. There's the womanizing wild jock (gee sound familiar?) The innocent virgin guy waiting for the right one, the weird dad offering awkward sex advice to his son, the wild guy who wants to change for the right girl, the hot sex-crazed foreign exchange student, the stoner guy, etc etc. I think you already know where this is going.

I liked American Pie, 40 year old virgin, etc, I wasn't expecting a huge epic plot or anything, just to have a couple laughs, but I can't laugh at ripped off jokes and characters when it wasn't even a parody movie, and I can't even criticize it anymore because I've addressed pretty much everything and don't even think it deserves another paragraph. Don't even bother renting it.

There's no shortage of teen comedies out there to choose from, too many in fact. Despite the occasional gem, this genre is renowned for mass producing crap. Movies like 'Foreign Exchange' are exactly why teen movies in general have such a bad reputation. It plays up to each and every negative stereotype of the genre.

This is basically just a bad rip-off of 2007's 'Superbad'. Its attempts at humour are much the same, only 'Foreign Exchange' lacks the characters and wit to pull most of the jokes off. The failed humour combined with the predictably crap and wafer thin plot make 'Foreign Exchange' another cheap teen comedy to avoid.

I really enjoy this kind of comedies, but this one...wow! a total waste of time. This wants to be ATM (Another Teenage Movie) but instead it's a big ABTM (Another Bad Teenage Movie). Sometimes I had the feeling that I missed something in the movies's events because the script was pointless. The gags, the jokes are outdated and bad made. The actors are unconvincing. The characters are unconvincing. The 'bad teenage' guy is just bad (acting), the other want to be different characters but they just failed. After seeing this movie, you can ask yourself: What was it all about? Well, as in many other movies these days , the only best part ... is the end.

I recently watched Foreign Exchange (2008) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around four friends concluding high school and getting ready for college. They welcome foreign exchange students into their lives, thinking they'll be the ones imparting American fun, but soon discover they have something to learn themselves.

Directed by Danny Roth (Tag), the movie features Ryan Pinkston (Young Rock), Vanessa Lengies (Glee), Randy Wayne (Hellraiser: Judgement), Tania Raymonde (Lost), and Daniel Booko (21 & Over).

Noteworthy in this film are the entertaining cameos by Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie), Curtis Armstrong (Revenge of the Nerds), and Clint Howard (The Water Boy). Expect the typical topless scenes and crude one-liners fitting the genre. While the storyline leans towards cliché and the circumstances feel a bit cheesy, the cast's dynamic keeps the film engaging, resulting in a few smiles and chuckles.

In conclusion, Foreign Exchange falls short of being a good film, but it's not a complete waste of time either. I'd give it a 4/10 and suggest watching it once for the cameos and light-hearted humor.

Pretty much a low budget teen sex comedy. It makes you like the characters....and you kind of do pull for them.

Some may scoff at it, but if you are looking for a guy comedy, this is fine. Since 2012 or so, sex comedies have died and given way to PC trash. This movie is the stereotypical horny guys in high school, wanting to get laid, and have a good time.

These types of movies have a purpose and it's for males, people who date and couples to enjoy. Revisiting sex comedies is something men need to do. These movies are generally cheap, trashy, unbelievable, YET very entertaining and gives a few LOL moments that today's comedies lack.

8 out of 10. You will have fun watching it and the characters are very likeable. A guys movie.
