Going into the movie, I was thinking this is going to be another disappointment in the sense of a crude comedy. It really wasn't that bad! It starts of with this guy, Ian, who is not a, lack for better words, 'ladies man'. He ventures online to find a girl to finally lose his virginity to, which takes him half way across the nation with his two friends. They run into a series of events that slow them down towards the meeting which actually add a lot of comedy into the movie. It is very predictable in the sense that he will fall in love with his friend, but there are many other twists and turns that you do not see coming. The movie overall to me is a solid seven and I would definitely watch it again!

Comedies can often focus too much on crude jokes and innuendos rather than characters and plot but this had a decent mixture.Quite a simple story really, about desperation to fit in and feel normal plus finding yourself a bit of happiness.All the characters are well acted and you can really relate to those personalities in the story. You begin to feel for Ian but also care for Felicia and Lance. The side characters are also quite amusing and help make the laughs and balance out the plot. His bullying brother was great, loved Seth Green in it and the vengeful boyfriend.Overall its pretty funny and actually got a nice sentiment behind the story, not just another sex film but there's these things called feelings involved (Yes I had to check the dictionary for feelings, they apparently are quite normal to have them) which make the story quite engaging.Would definitely watch again.

I saw the title and rightfully assumed it was a teen based movie about perhaps losing virginity or having lots of sex, and even though it was rated one out of five stars I was up for at least trying it and seeing whether I would disagree with that opinion, directed by Sean Anders (writer of Hot Tub Time Machine and Mr. Popper's Penguins). Basically in Chicago shy and naive eighteen year old high school senior Ian Lafferty (Austin Powers in Goldmember's Josh Zuckerman) is still a virgin, which is easy for his homophobic brother Rex (James Marsden) to mock, but he has best friends Lance (Clark Duke) who although being a little geeky gets all the women, and beautiful Felicia (Amanda Crew) who has been his friend since childhood but he secretly may love. Ian has been chatting to a girl on the internet called Ms Tasty in Knoxville, Tennessee, and he has been lying on the profile to make him look and sound more confident and manly, they have been chatting a while, and he is surprised when she invites him to see her and sounds happy to "go all the way". With the opportunity to have sex and lose his virginity he steals his brother's 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge and plans to drive from Brookfield, Illinois to her, Lance is happy to join him to see him achieve his goal, and Felicia comes with them as well, told that they are visiting Ian's sick grandmother. On the journey they encounter many problems and interesting situations, including hitchhikers that turn hostile, state troopers that put them in a cell, and a night of fun on behalf of farmer Ezekiel (Seth Green) with the Amish community called Rumspringa, where they abandon their beliefs and do whatever they like, but more than anything Ian and Felicia are getting closer. They finally reach their destination, where Rex also catches up, but Ian is allowed to see Ms Tasty (Katrina Bowden) by his brother after claiming he may be gay and having sex with the girl may make him straight again, she does turn up and she is beautiful, but then he realises he loves Felicia. So Ms Tasty threatens him to take his clothes off, and then her psychotic boyfriend Bobby Jo (Dave Sheridan) comes out pointing a gun, and they try to steal Rex's car, and Felicia gets involved in the situation and needs saving, and a small number of earlier characters get involved in the situation, but everything eventually calms down. In the end Lance decides he would prefer the life in the Amish community and to marry beautiful Mary (Alice Greczyn), and Ian and Felicia both realise they love each other and have done for a long time, he loses his virginity with her on New Year's Eve, and Rex comes out as gay after all, we also see the band Fall Out Boy with Ezekiel. Also starring Michael Cudlitz as Rick, Charlie McDermott as Andy and Mark L. Young as Randy. Most of the cast are fine, Zuckerman playing the typical foolish virgin, Duke as an alternative sex pest, Crew being slightly kooky but lovely, and Green as an unusual Amish guy, the story is nothing new, it is essentially another Road Trip, but travelling to have sex and pop the cherry, I agree with the one star out of five rating by critics, it is low on original humour, it was mostly crude and stupid humour, and only the Will They/Won't They? element kept me going, and some kinky stuff, apart from that it is a pointless comedy. Pretty poor!
