I'll tell you why so serious

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I saw this movie years ago, and i gave it a 8 because i loved it. Not looking back at it of course i was a bit too exited. The movie is good, its fun and all, but its a bit too much to go into a 8.... Its more like a 7. No i am not joking. Sure its low budget, but the story is fun to follow and interesting, i really had fun with this movie when i saw it back then and today in a garage sale i found a DVD with 4 movies on it, and one of those was this one. For only 1$ !!! I purchased it and watch it again and yes its genuinely a good movie. I want to keep this review spoiler free so i can't say too much, but definitely the kind of movie that show heart and interesting characters without going on the excessive American pie territory, which i like also, but its cool to see different for a change.More or less this movie is ground more in reality, don't expect over the top scenes or whatever and it focus more on the characters themselves.In any case no matter if you like it or not, for me its one of my guilty pleasures, a movie that don't rely on big budget or such to be fairly enjoyable and a good time.

The only reason this film is "set" in the USA, as opposed to where it was shot--CANADA!--is the anti-American sentiment that our college kids are as crude as Saudi oil. Therefore, when the main character Miles loses track of the 26 letters of the alphabet in his attempt to "rail" at least one chick whose surname begins with each initial before he graduates, the final title card says his new quest will involve scoring a girl for each "of the 50 states" (NOT 10 provinces!). Since there are not enough Canadians to make a DVD profitable, they are constantly trying to trick us into thinking all the really DUMB stuff they dream up for bogus American characters to do is actually happening south of their border. Furthermore, they think we are so ignorant that we won't notice the local radio station in this college town is "CMFU"--a Canadian designation.France has a quota on American films so their culture is not polluted, and it is way overdue for the U.S. to impose a similar self-defense measure against the Canadians. If you don't believe they're trying to further their economic advantage (yes, their Loonie is actually worth MORE than a genuine dollar, thanks to the effects their smear & smut campaign already has achieved), try sitting through this PIGS slop! At the very least, there needs to be a clear surgeon general's-type warning on each Toronto or Vancouver-produced DVD case such as:WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO SPEND MONEY SENDING MORE AMER!CAN JOBS TO THE NAFTA-LOVING CANADIANS BY PAYING TO SEE THEIR ANTI-AMER!CAN PROPAGANDA!

A predictable formula, poorly acted, cliché dialog that no one would say in real life. At many times, you can't understand what the actors are saying, and frequently the music covers what they're saying. I kept waiting for things to pick up, but the humor declined, until the final minute, which I give the directors a lot of credit for. To follow such a bad script and premise so long, and then throw the Hollywood ending in the toilet is brave. I just don't think very many viewers will wait that long for such a small payoff. Teenagers hoping for a lot of skin probably won't wait 'til the end for that payoff, either. Two chuckles and a pretty girl don't make up for everything that's wrong with this movie. If it were someone's student project, I'd cut them some slack. Kind of like a porno without the sex scenes. The cinematography at times literally looks like a porno.

This film has a great premise for a movie, if you like the kind of movies with gratuitous nudity, outrageous shocking moments, and hilariously uncomfortable situations and misunderstandings. There was one shot of nudity at the very end from a woman who had absolutely nothing to do with the film. There were no shocking moments. And the uncomfortable situations and misunderstandings were unrealistic and often hard to sit through. I did not laugh once. And I am not exaggerating. The many attempts at comedy failed miserably mainly because you could almost see the punchline before the joke was told. I didn't care one bit about the characters. And it seemed that they were all missing something. The main character, Miles, was supposed to be charming had no charm. Cleaver, who was supposed to be a Stifler-like character(American Pie), was just plain annoying. The original Stifler, you just love to hate him but can't hate him for long because he's pretty damn funny. When Cleaver's character attempts to copy him in this film, you just hate to know him and want to punch him in the face. And then there's Ben, the quiet roommate who is somewhat of the moral compass in the film. But he has probably never had a girl in his life, and he decides to tattle-tale on Miles late in the film, in the hopes that he will win the girl that Miles is supposedly "changing his ways" for. After Ben snitched on Miles, there was so little tension in the room I felt they were about to have a slap fight. And even THAT didn't happen.And then there's the soundtrack. Normally I wouldn't comment on such a thing but it was distracting and pathetic. There was hardly any musical score to the movie, instead there were poorly written and poorly produced songs that were so completely blatant about what was happening in that particular scene or montage. If Tenacious D was retarded, somehow had retarded children, then those children formed a band, it would be the guys who made this soundtrack.So here's what you should do instead for 84 minutes. Listen to your favorite comedy CD that you've heard a million times while you surf the web for the most softcore porn you can find. You'll at least have somewhat of a smile on your face from a joke you've already heard, and you won't have to wait til the 83rd minute to see some nudity. If you watch the movie anyway, please comment on here and if you can honestly say that you didn't waste your time, then please don't procreate.
