Wild Cherry

0/12

There was nothing to like about this movie. It was insulting and not funny by any means. It was also just boring and unenjoyable.

A virginal high school senior (Tamia Raymonde) decides to get revenge on her jock boyfriend when she discovers he's only dating her in hopes that she will end up in his team's "bang book".

Not sure what to make of this film. The movie seems to be presented as a comedy, but it really is not funny. Even Rob Schneider does not help -- and it is not his fault, as they give him nothing to work with (a complete waste of such talent). But I want to complain about Matt MacNabb for a moment.

MacNabb, a writer for DVDLegion.Com, is quoted in the press release as saying "American Pie has nothing on Wild Cherry." You, sir, are a terrible reviewer. I am by no means a fan of "American Pie", but it is far and away the better film. "Wild Cherry" just had no funny moments, and despite being full of teen girls in various states of undress, just is not sexy.

A few times it comes close to emulating "Van Wilder", particularly with a very disgusting use of male juices. But it is just gross and not funny at all. Who is this film catering to? It is not realistic, it is not silly, it is not consisting of anything redeeming whatsoever.

With Rumer Willis (Ashton Kutcher's stepdaughter), Tamia Raymonde ("Lost") and the girl from "The Hills", this should draw in your attention. I mean, you know, that is some decent star power. But again, completely wasted. That the film is dated 2009 but is only getting released in 2011 says something. And that something is this: it is not good.

This movie has a good cast, and has all the potential in the world, however some of the story falls off the table. There are a few scenes that make you roll your eyes, and the writers COULD have done ALOT BETTER, just made themselves look flat lazy. Again, it had so much potential, and was IDK, maybe a few times where writers should have admitted they were tired, or they could have at least said something to eachother or spoke up and said "That's funny, BUT... (in the swimming pool scene) Wouldn't the Guys ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING that would actually give away the fact there was other guys there??" Or several other scenes that make you just same, 'C'mon Maaann...' Such a good cast, in such a poor film.

To me soul is a summary of everything that is important in a film. No matter what genre of film or production cost or whatever. It's a simple film that address important things and it does it well. I would be happy knowing that my younger teenage siblings and cousins watched this film. The actors in the film are good and not afraid to stick their necks out to be funny. Tia Carrere and Rob Schnider are legends. As for the leading actress Tania Raymonde, I've seen her in two other quite different films and she seems to be able to play any role excellently.

I get what they were going for here, "American Pie from the girls perspective" but it was full of poorly executed jokes, bad lighting/sound, paper thin characters that you didn't care about, generic soundtrack, and lots of missed opportunities. The choppy editing didn't help either. There was a germ of a good idea here, and a couple of promising set ups, but the execution was just so low rent that everything fell flat. (Understandable since this was ultra low budget). Also Rumour Willis is not camera friendly at all and should never be cast in anything.
