CommentsXp Best movie ever!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
leriejane Wow. I found this online and like another viewer, was hooked! I just watched all 8 episodes and surprised that it ended so soon. Smart, funny and the cast has really great dynamics. Based on the premise of 3 young male teens attending a previously all-girl high school. Since they're the only males, they stick out and attempt to fit in. One hilarious scene has them singing at the school's Ladies Night, where groups of girls get together and since "empowerment" type songs. The guys dress in drag and deliver a stunning performance. Another funny episode has these guys coming to the sudden realization that they've been "chickified", and are now behaving like girls (going to the bathroom together, 3-way calling about their day, exchanging cooking recipes). There's too many laugh-out-loud moments to list.Disappointing that we'll never get to see what happens to Jed & Kate or Cary &Stella. Jed (Milo Ventimiglia) is a good guy, but he has insecurities, especially related to the opposite sex. There's a lot of talk about sex in this series: contemplating, attempting to get laid, etc. But it's not the sole focus, it's definitely not overdone. One of the best moments is when Jed tells Miranda that he doesn't want to lose his virginity so soon, because he wants to do it when he can be sure that he'll make the girl feel good. A sweet, but conflicted and complex character. Kate (Allison Mack), who's smarter than most adults and can always make Jed laugh, is his true crush, but he gets distracted by the seemingly easy Miranda. Miranda loves shocking people for the sake of it, for example her birthday party "theme" focused on finding two virgins to "sacrifice" at her choosing.Phil (Kyle Howard) & Cary are the only other two boys at the school. Phil being a "walking GPA" super-focused on doing everything right to get into college including running for city councilman. Cary's not so smart, and tries to define his reputation as a ladies man, but turns out to be a sweet and good-natured. A funny thing about there being only 3 boys at the school, is that the have to wear the same gym uniform as the girls (bright yellow shirt with purple shorts)and their "locker room" is actually the janitor's basement.This had great actors and great writing, it's really a shame that FOX cancels its best shows all the time. It never had a chance to reach all of its intended audience and its full potential. What's most delightful is seeing actors like Milo Ventimiglia, Allison Mack and Kyle Howard in earlier roles.
matlock-6 I was really sad when this was cancelled. I enjoyed all of the shows that I got to see, not just because it was funny, but funny without resorting to gross out humor. The humor was innocent, and the storyline depicted what was basically a nice guy getting stuck into what had previously been an all-girls school. This was a great idea and should have supported a wealth of writing, but unfortunately we will never know. One thing that might have helped the show along would have been to switch point of view from week to week (as was done in Northern Exposure). Tell the weeks episode from a different character standpoint, rather than just from that of the main character. It's too bad that Fox gave up so quickly on summer programming because they really came up with some nice, fresh shows and bright young talent.
garyts1959 >I just saw this for the first time today, and found it very refreshing. >Excellent comedy that seems to deal with real life issues for teens in a >funny way. Reminded me a lot of what it was like when I was a >teen.
psychotic_venom While all the promo spots for this "Sex Comedy" depicted 3 boys having their reign over a school full of girls that seemed to fall at their feet as though they were the oasis they had been looking for, the show itself was quite different.I turned this on last night expecting to see what every teenage boy might DREAM of: A school full of beautiful women--demanding to have their sexual needs met, and a low supply of boys. Instead, you get a smart comedy that depicts how these girls are a little hostile, a little resistant to change, few are begging for sex, and Jed (the character through which you see most of the action) properly reacts to this strange situation; He feels outcast and lied in a time when every kid wants to be accepted--even though there ARE 300 beautiful women around him.You can already see where some of the show is going--probably a smarter, funnier, and much more entertaining version of "Saved by the Bell" at it's best, judging by the pairing of 3 female leads with the 3 males in the opening sequence. At it's worst, it could be just another teen-comedy.Judging by the pilot--I'd be leaning towards the smart and witty side, with a little teen-fantasy thrown in for good measure.
