Director: Paul Weitz

Four teenage boys enter a pact to lose their virginity by prom night.

There’s a reason why I don’t watch comedies. This is another perfect example. Hailed as one of the greatest comedies ever made (yes, box office proofs it) I must be one of the few to not enjoy this – at all! This was just CHEESY in bold capital letters. There was literally nothing I enjoyed about this raunchy comedy. I didn’t mind it at all being raunchy (in fact that made it more tolerable), but it was just not funny.

Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs) was a complete idiot and and the over-acting on Seann William Scott’s behalf as Steve Stifler was so theatrical and annoying. The whole set-up with Stifler’s mom was also just silly and not believable. I couldn’t wait for them to all have sex so the film could end.

Maybe I truly am a grump who can’t relate to comedies…
