Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
GazerRise Fantastic!
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Michael Ledo Pete Newmans (Johnny Simmons) has a clever name for the film. He is a successful psychologist/ sex therapist/ author who doesn't have sex. We discover the reason why is he hasn't gone through puberty. His condition is cured and he transforms all at once, as we see a grown man act like a teen. He has a thing for Michelle (Brittany Snow) the girl next door, but suddenly has hormone problems and says things like a jealous teen.I didn't find the film very amusing. It is a low impact teen sex comedy. Good support cast.Guide: F-word and nudity.
voucherventures This movie was smart and funny. The cast is spectacular with Johnny Simmons, a brilliant young actor who knocked it out of the park in his last movie "Dreamland", J.K. Simmons, an academy award winner, the lead of the wonderful "The Big Sick", and many more. Watched it with a couple of other people and they couldn't stop laughing. It's funny but it is also well written and acted with a message that is uplifting. I am a psychologist, and I thought that the movie did an excellent job with the theme of sex and understanding the development of your relationship to your sexuality at the same time as being wildly entertaining. In short, this is a superb movie that is brilliantly acted, directed and written.
Mark Epic failure. The movie's premise had so much potential. I cringe just thinking how the end result turned out to be.If you are looking for a comedy, this is not it. I didn't laugh once the entire movie. Poor performances, except for J.K Simmons, lame and generic screenplay. Jokes are not funny. This movie is trash. Please do not watch it. Wish I could give a zero, no option on this site though. Not exaggerating.I have noticed a common trend in movies like this, Neighbors 2, Bad Moms, Horrible Bosses 2, Mike and David Need Wedding Dates, is that they rely heavily on dick jokes, overuse cringe comedy, awkward situations and characters, seriously who are the writers and directors, I want to throw tomatoes at them. Crap after crap after crap. This movie was the last straw. Seriously guys, this is garbage. I regret watching this. Only good thing about this movie is J.K Simmons, everything else is trash.
Dana Lee I found it rather hard to watch...The problem with people who are not able to enjoy certain movies is the lack of ability to suspend disbelief. I've always thought that I was well-endowed with this ability. I could easily put myself in a movie and view it in the way the people behind it wanted it to be seen. I could enjoy the stupidest premise but, this movie was very difficult for me to watch. Maybe it's the acting or the directing. The film appeared to look too serious for its (for the lack of a better word) stupid premise. The drama factor just didn't mix well. Maybe, in my case, it is because the lead just failed to capture my sympathy. I think silly premises, sex-based jokes, like those found in this movie is better off paired with over-the-top farce than some kind of a "teen" drama.
