SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Better Late Then Never
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreI gave this 1 out of ten -- +5 for Emmanuelle Chriqui and -4 for the rest of the movie. It looks like it was written by 2 different people: the first a thoughtful romantic and the other a retarded frat boy. Unfortunately, the frat boy's input won out. I can only assume that Cameron Douglas got the part because of his family connections (Michael's son)-- no self-respecting casting director would have hired this cigar store Indian. I suppose that this was listed as a comedy by default -- not sure what other category it could be put in since "turkey" is not an option. I didn't think it was possible but this movie is below National Lampoon's usual standards. Do yourself a favor and give this one a pass.
View MoreI rented this movie thinking it was going to be a typical National Lampoon's movie (lots of laughs, college humor, the same means of Animal House). Instead, I got a movie that sounded like a sex ed documentary, because it was too melodramatic to be considered a romantic comedy. Adam (Cameron Douglas) didn't seem to be the "sex crazy guy" described in the movie summary in the back of the box. Eve (Emanuelle Chriqui) character was okay because of the message she wanted to bring up to the audience. Adam's buddies weren't present in the movie that much, so we don't get enough feedback of Adam's life BEFORE meeting Eve.I'll give this movie a 1 out of 10, because I cant give it a 0. I'm still upset about the name "National Lampoon" in the box.
View MorePlot & Pacing are typical of your straight-to-video flick.What's great with this movie is how it often takes typically-cliché college-movie scenes and executes with some modern-realism. Anybody who's been to college and partied their ass off will agree. Notice the trashed house, random convo's about pubic trimming and wiping, and even the party scene is realistically filmed without the normal clichés (spare the band). The career fair scene especially struck home...can't tell you how many friends visited after graduating telling me to "enjoy it while it lasts, the real world sucks." Too bad the plot sucks, but the guy who wrote this clearly has been to college, and tranferred his experiences well to the film. Worth catching if you & some friends have a "hazy" movie night.
View MoreThe movie is playing as I type this. How I netflixed this I have no idea, I think it was the National Lampoon tag. This is the worst move I've seen...ever. This is worse than Demolition Man, worse than Sleepless in Seattle, worse than The Replacements. I can't believe how bad this movie is. I thought the beginning was a lead in, and she was going to have a penis or something, but I'm slowly realizing that this movie is serious.The acting has got to be some sort of b-league intro to acting class rejects. I can't believe Michael Douglas's son is this bad. I might get really hammered to see if I find this more amusing, but I doubt it. Maybe they're going for the college stoner crowd. But are you kidding me?!?I hate myself for having sat through it this long.Charlie
