���Alright, there has been a lot of hype about this film. � "It's the new 'There's Something About Mary'".� Well, I must admit these two movies aren't all the much alike.� Yes, they both talk about kind of crude things, but this movie isn't as silly as There's Something About Mary and it's more crude and graphic.� I thought that TSAM was aimed towards a male audience, but this one is much more so.

��� The male characters are believable and well rounded.� However, the female characters presented are not believable and are never seen in the real world. � Ok, I know that the movie is ridiculous comedy, so it's over the top.� I'm not denying that.� However, as unlikely as it is to see a guy screwing an apple pie, it's even more unlikely to hear a real band nerd say, "I stuck my flute up my p***y". � Sorry, not going to happen.� First, it's very doubtful you would ever hear a girl say that word, and even more unlikely if it was a repressed band nerd.� This is obviously some guy's interpretation on what girls are like.� Virtually all of the females in the movie are ridiculous.

��� The choir singing bit in this movie is too over the top and comes off campy.� The movie also goes for the extreme digust humour which kind of turns your stomach.� Again, this is aimed at a more male audience.� i.e. the beer drinking scene.�

��� Those are my main complaints.� This movie does get a 2 and one half star for the fact that even though some of the humor is predictable/formulaic/revolting....it still makes you laugh.� There are some original touches too.� I especially liked the "Mrs. Robinson" scene.� The inclusion of the Simon and Garfunkle song topped it off well.

��� I also gave it the score I did because even though the female characters were extremely lacking, the male characters were well thought out and quite funny.� The acting all around was good too, both male and female.� There are a bunch of fresh faces in this film that I expect to see more of.� Also, the more I see of Natasha Lyonne, the more I think she really is a good actress.� You might remember her from Krippendorf's Tribe or Slums of Beverly Hills.

��� So basically, if you're a guy you should really like this film, if you're a girl you might think it's ok.� Be prepared for stupid, sick humour when you go to the theater though.� If you're expecting There's Something About Mary, you'll be disappointed.
