Don't Bother Wasting your time

One of the worst, low budget movies I have ever seen! All the people on here talking about the next great cult movie are on crack... well not really, they're just involved with the movie in one way or another. Check any of the positive reviewers profile and you will see the only comments they have made was on this movie. Even if you can download it for free, don't bother. Again a big lol @ "The Next Dazed and Confused" or "The Next Superbad" ahaahahahhaaha

Good try, maybe next time...

P.s. next time try to get actors who actually look in their late teens/early twenties not ones that are close to pushing 40... never mind close, some of these actors are over 40! lol

Your screen name is "licks donkey balls" and you expect your opinion to be worth anything? This movie is hilarious. A true gem and the type of movie you can watch for a few minutes just to get some laughs.

A guy shoots a movie in his house and gets it into every major store and you bad mouth him anonymously on the internet? Teddy Rooselvelt once said something like 'it's not the critic who counts for anything, all of the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena playing the game...and people who never try never know the feeling of defeat or success.'

Is it as good as Dazed and COnfused, Animal House, Old School? No. But it is one helluva funny movie and I gotta give the guy credit for trying and succeeding.

The movie is not hilarious! Far from it. Doesn't matter what my screen name is, I am giving an honest opinion about the movie.

Wow a guy succeeded at releasing a movie. Congrats!

However this doesn't automatically make it a good movie. The movie sucks, period!

The reviews on here are from direct supporters of this film, and I'm just warning people about not wasting their time.

Since the film maker "succeeded so much", he should quit trying to TRICK people into watching the movie and maybe instead start working on something new, which hopefully will be thousands times better (it will have to be, if I'm going to give him a chance again).

Oh, and finally to who ever is really considering watching this movie, like I said it's not even worth the download. Don't waste your time. Unless you like watching lame dialog by a bunch of 40 year olds pretending to be teens.

Licks Donkey Balls has a point...don't bother wasting your time if you expect an American Pie ripoff or want explosions and lots of action. It's a low budget comedy that succeeds based on interesting, quick, realistic conversation, and it's handled in a manner rarely seen in teen comedy flicks - which is what makes it appealing to older (maybe up to 35-40) people, at least fellas.

I imagine some of the people who commented were involved in the movie. I also suspect this occurs with $100 million movies too. I also suspect some people created an account soley to comment on this movie.

How many low budget movies make it to Blockbuster? Almost none. So it can't be as bad as donkey balls says. It's also not "great", but it's very, very good. You don't make it to the major leagues without a lot of talent, a little luck, and someone thinking you have a lot of potential. Obviously the movie or filmmaker possesses these qualities.

And only one actor looks older than 24.

Most of the cast looks their age - just out of college. The high school kids appear to be 1-2 years too old. The only actor who appears older is a guy who's supposed to be older - granted he looks a little too old, but he's f'n hilarious.

I thought the movie was funnier than nearly any hollywood movie in 2 years. It beats out Jack/mira make a porno, the last 3 will ferrel movies, and hangover.

If you're not into conversation, it's not for you.

Which one the lead? Matt?

[–] lisarulz-70-834049 8 years ago

The lead actor in this movie is now 48 was 41 when movie came out.

If you check out the website, you'll see the movie took a couple years to get released. The actor was in his late 30s when it was made and I thought his character was supposed to be late 20s. I didn't think he looked much older than that.

I thought it helped his character. He was like creepily cool. His lines were great.
