How did I miss this one before?


Like all sketch movies, this is going to be largely hit and miss, and it's going to divide most people. Since I am a fan of the irreverent, I actively sought this one out, but I'm not going to lie...I didn't enjoy it for the most part.

The "best" sketches include the kid with a fake vagina as his girlfriend (I know how that sounds), the kid who's continually humiliated in sex ed class and the "Weird Science" parody. A lot of other ideas fizzled out before they even begun (the Lincoln fetishist, the girl who uses her phone as a vibrator, the farting girl, Blue Bally). Other skits failed to engage me at all, like the Frankie Muniz and Michael Cera sketches, and the hidden camera show (with Jamie Kennedy). And for all of this racy humor, the ending was incredibly tame (and kinda lame).

It reminded me a lot of the humor of Not Another Teen Movie, one of the last spoof movies to actually be funny. (What a surprise; I just checked and it's by the same writers.)
