Comden should get a job flipping burgers after this raunchy hack job packed with old gags which we've all seen a zillion times before. The lame flick portrays young males as simple minded, self centered, short sighted, worthless, lying, cheating, immature, lazy slackers. Okay, well, that's the real part. The stupid part which is a rip off of every other romcom is where the title character played by the generic Charlie Sheen look-alike Getty falls for the real deal girl who he's known since K and who, unlike every other female in the flick, is somewhat normal. Blatant silliness with all the talent on the actors side of the lens, this is film fare for a college dorm, frat house, or Navy barracks. (C)
Harmless sexbased comedy that never takes itself seriously, and all in all isnt too shabby. Its incredibly depressing that even with the bags of money Getty sleeps on, he still cant find a believable hairpiece. The one used in this film is particularly distracting. But the movie is good if your up for the genre.
I recently watched this movie on TMC-XW. It represents everything that's wrong with the mentality of those that make movies. It "boasts" unbelievable characters, a derivative storyline and possibly the worst soundtrack I've ever heard.
Movie-makers have no grip on middle-American values. I consider myself decidedly middle American and do not know one person who uses the "f" word as much as these characters. They use it at times when it doesn't make sense. In addition, the characters are comic-bookish. The role of Happy the Cowboy and Sol's mom and dad are completely unbelivable. Maybe people in New York and California resemble these characters but you won't find them anywhere else.
But worse, these characters were thrust into a plot that's been done to . Platonic friends become lovers. Gee, how original. I knew within minutes of watching the movie how it would end.
Finally, the soundtrack was horrible and the music most times didn't even match the moment.
Stay away!

Of course, it doesn't look all that great. But, for a 20-something comedy-romance about a guy who opens the movie with a Ferris Bueller litany of how to get his local Booty Girl out of bed in the morning, you'd think it would suck pretty bad. But it works. It flat-out works, the script is good and funny, the acting is good, and funny, and the story comes together 100% predictably.
Sure we know where it's going, and anyone who's seen any teen movie from the 80's (or at least "Not another teen movie") can tell you who's in love with whom from the get-go. But there are a few surprises along the way, and the movie winds up being a fun ride through well-travelled, familiar country. Got a slow night? Check it out--you won't be disappointed.

Can anyone tell me what's the amazing Song at the 80th minute in the movie? I really love it, i wanna have it that much . The movie is okay. I've seen better films, i didn't understand the point that's the film about. It's not that funny. But I liked the scene where Sol told his best friend that he is really in love with her. That scene is really amazing, best at the whole film in my opinion. The movie is okay. I've seen better films, i didn't understand the point that's the film about. It's not that funny.
