Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
LazyBeagleEntertainment I laughed so hard I cried all the way through this movie. It was outstandingly hilarious. Dustine reminded me so much of the way Dakota Fanning acts, and she was so funny. I really and honestly cannot think of a funnier, campier movie. It was funny from beginning to end, non stop hilarity. Anyone who thinks this movie is a piece of crap obviously has no sense of humor whatsoever. And I love the easy friendship and fun between the characters. The cool, calm, yet very fraught with tension way things were handled from the moment Violet showed up at the Darlene and Dustines house, to the very end was phenomenal. And Dustine...the dream, you have got to be kidding me. I had to run to the bathroom to avoid pissing my pants. Sheer enchantingly beautiful!
hnoss04 I have been looking for this movie everywhere and cannot seem to find it anywhere online. Does anyone know where I will be able to find this movie? I have read all the comments and now I would really like to see for myself what this movie is all about. From what I have read it sounds to me like it would be funny as hell, but then again that could just be my warped sense of humor. I did not even see previews for this movie on TV back in 2001. If I had seen the previews then I probably would have watched it then. Does anyone actually own this movie? If anyone was to actually own this movie, would you please get into contact with me and let me know?
amberbaer Coming-out themed movies have always been difficult to write and this one doesn't even come close to that! This quickly turned into a screaming match between the "in the closet" gay and lesbian characters of the movie - which sadly takes you on a journey to dulls-ville USA! The child in this movie has some funny background action when it comes to having a "dead" corpse in the house - even while her drunk step mother is making a frail attempt at caring for the child.the step mother - should have been a male role - that would have made "his" drunken come-on to the lead gay boy awkward and hysterical.Necrophelia alert as well - we know the boy is obsessed with the town jock - but did he have to have anal sex with him when he knew the guy was dead? Didn't need that scene! And at the end - when the little girl raises the dead make jock - no explanation is given as to his resurrection and what he meant by the line "welcome to the party - about time!" As usual - the writer of this show didn't ask a gay audience first about where to end the movie - so naked into the street the jock goes - into the arms of the drunk mother who almost runs him down...they make out, and then over breakfast the next morning he asks "what happened to my truck?" Again - the little girl takes center stage - a sequel is needed just to tie up the very loose ends of this so-so coming out movie! The lead is cute, but the jock has the nice butt - even after he gets it in the end (bad pun laughter inserted here please)
cessna1505 This is the kind of film that is so bad, so tasteless, so disturbing, you're embarassed when you laugh out loud at it--as the crowd at the 2001 DC Gay & Lesbian Film Festival did last night. The acting is somewhat amateurish, and the writing leaves a lot to be desired, but the situations, instead of stopping short as in most black comedies, keep going right past the border of good taste. And the audience was dragged along in spite of itself. As the lights went up, there was a lot of sheepish looking around as if everyone wanted to reassure themselves that they weren't the only ones who enjoyed it. Worth seeing, if only to see how depraved you really are.
