Rick's life has gotten complicated. I couldn't even begin to explain what has happened. The list of events just came at me too fast to keep up. Almost no one in this movie has morals. But Rick is basically a good kid and Nina has no reason to reject him. I'm not familiar with Nat Wolff but he has an appeal similar to the teenage Scott Baio and Ben Feldman of "Superstore". Occasionally he talks to the camera. He's actually quite good but not the standout. Selena Gomez is really cute and does a capable job as Nina. Mary-Louise Parker has to be the standout, but not for the reasons I thought. As I look at the credits I realize there is one character I thought was someone else. But first, Parker does a great job as constantly drunk Lucy, and then she makes appearances as Saint Lola, a fantasy character only Rick can see. But there were actually two saints, so I can't say for sure who did what. Heather Graham as Annette, whose skirts are entirely too short and who shows off too much cleavage, is not believable as a lawyer, so I assumed she was one of Kristen's * friends. Later, it's clear she is really who she says. Still, a good performance. I've liked Elisabeth Shue since she was a teenage baby sitter. Here, she is definitely all grown up. She's good enough as the promiscuous Pamela but also appears as one of the saints only Rick can see. I'm assuming that she's the one who was not only gorgeous but also quite naughty. But I thought there was just one. Gary Busey looked familiar, but I didn't know his name until the credits. Busey is the only actor with a blooper reel during those credits, and I suppose it's worth seeing). He seems quite old for a uniformed officer but he's still quite tough. We also hear occasional announcements from and get a couple of scenes with the uptight Principal Poole, portrayed as only Patrick Warburton can nearly every time we see this man on screen in whatever movie or TV series. Even though there is so much bizarre comedy, there is a tender and sad moment. Since the imdb credits show photos, I can conclude that the fine performance in this scene comes from Carlease Burke, who has a Caribbean accent of some kind. Have I made it clear this movie is not family-friendly? I hope so. I can't even begin to imagine what was bleeped out, and what made it to TV is pretty bad too. One man is washing dishes and these include something which is blurred. However, I suspect things may not be as bad as they seem because a nun who took a vow of silence was given special permission to speak so she could teach Latin. This was necessary so she wouldn't go to (bleep). You can't say that? No wonder so many words are missing. But from what I could tell this movie was hilarious. If you can get through it, I think you'll be rewarded.

I like it! It made me laugh the entire time! I'd definitely watch it again.

One of the worst teen movies and comedy movies I've ever seen - the story is really poor, the humor is really weak, and those young actors are really lacking talent. 1/10

Seriously... Mary Louise Parker, Cary Elwes, Elizabeth Shue, Patrick Warburton, Jason Lee, and Dylan McDermott all in a movie that is this incredibly bad... and all in fairly big roles playing reprehensible characters. I just can't wrap my head around it. I have to believe there is a much better movie to be made about how they were talked into this.

This is a slightly better than normal teen-age sex comedy due to the all-star cast, but it is still a teen sex comedy. The film centers around Rick Stevens (Nat Wolff) student of the William Henry Harrison High School. GO HAMSTERS! He is infatuated by pudgy Nina Pennington (Selena Gomez) and on a bet needs to bed her by Arbor Day. Nina is a religious girl who likes Satanic music and wants to be a priest. Rick's mom (Mary-Louise Parker) goes to rehab drunk. His dad (Cary Elwes) stays away. His sister (Ashley Rickards) is a * who wants to go to Stanford. Through a number of circumstances both Rick and the movie go on a Bender (Elisabeth Shue) as the production takes advantage of the MILF craze. The humor is over the top, crude, and at times funny too. In fact it tries too hard to be funny which is perhaps its downfall as it doesn't engage the audience into thinking. Good film for those who like sex romps. Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Mercy Malick + others)

This movie was weird but it had a lot of very good lines in it. I'd say it was an OK attempt at crossing American Pie with Eurotrip. I don't know why this didn't get much much higher reviews. I'd want to give it a 10 just to make up for people with no sense of humor who gave it a 1. I'd give it about a 7.5 if I was completely honest.

Life for high schooler Rick Stevens (Nat Wolff) is going all wrong. His mom tries to commit suicide and "While I'm Dead Feed the Dog" is painted on the garage door. It starts with his crush on school hottie Nina Pennington (Selena Gomez). He loses his virginity to his best friend's mom (Elisabeth Shue). His own mom (Mary-Louise Parker) appears as Saint Lola, the saint of teenage sex. He gets pushed into a bet with the mobster's son about having sex with Nina before Arbor Day. She has just broken up with her boyfriend. She likes Josh Groban and he tries to buy backstage passes from sleazy Jimmy Leach (Dylan McDermott). This is trying to be a teen sex romp with broad satirical humor. It fails in many different ways. The first is that it fails to make Rick a likeable character. The movie needs to dump on him again and again so that he becomes sympathetic. For all the bad things that is supposed to be happening to him, the first big thing in the timeline is him having sex with his best friend's hot mom. He gets the date with the dream girl too early and too easily. He is too dislikable. Selena Gomez is completely bland as the goody girl. The movie is trying to be crude but it's trying too hard. Everything is ugly. The humor is way off. I don't know that much about director Tim Garrick and his writing partner Scott Russell. They don't have much of a track record but I did see their earlier writing effort, Jailbait. It has the same teen sex romp writing with broad satirical takes. The actors are lower grade, the production is lower, and the level of humor is similar. At least, that one's satire marginally works. None of this one works and it's a grind from the very start. I grew to hate the repeat-o-punchlines. This is wasting the talents of some pretty good actors in the adult roles. It's bad.
