Don't kill me

but I genuinely liked this movie, for the most part.

Meaghan Rath is the only reason for me liking the film. Otherwise I'd feel somewhat indifferent about it. It was an R-rated film that felt very PG-13. It felt long and boring most of the time. Wasn't very funny, but wasn't very serious either. After it was over, I got the feeling that the movie didn't know what it wanted to be: comedy or light drama, PG-13 or R. I can't tell if it was going for "girl power" by having the girls put forth the contest, or if it was trying to perpetuate the idea of girls as trophies.

why did you want it to be more R? you wanted like graphic sex scenes and violence? sheesh dude, calm the f down.

i thought it was a great indie film. alia and raviv had great chemistry. and the soundtrack was frickin awesome. DJ Champion baby!

As much as I'm loathe to admit it, I didn't dislike this either. Maybe it's because I've seen too many bad modern teen comedy films in the past two weeks and this was surprisingly the least bad of the bunch (though that isn't saying much) or maybe not.

The R rating is kind of bizarre. The sexuality throughout the film is really friggin' mild compared to many other films of this type. The dialogue was even less profanity-laden than what I'd expected.

Yeah, me too. Entertaining/ funny script, nice acting, good soundtrack. Could've had a better direction, but oh well.
