• If you overlook the bad jokes there are lots of good ones

  fredfredrikfreddyfred2015-09-04

  I loved this comedy. I laughed really hard about eight times. It may have been a bit dumb at times but there were many really funny jokes. People who gave it a low rating must be offended by rather graphic explicit sexual language. But if you are not prudish and easily offended, I think you will agree this was some really humorous writing. The acting was also totally decent and the casting of characters was very good in my mind. The thing about comedies is they are very subjective and if you are into sophisticated ironic envelope pushing humor; you may like this as much as I did. I watch a lot of comedies and can hardly remember one that cracked me up as much as this did and I am fairly jaded. The only thing I can think of to compare the style of humor to might be the TV series "Maron"

• Hysterical hidden gem

  I turned this movie on with a short leash, and from the first 5 minutes I was hooked. Just when you think the scenes couldn't be any more appalling and hilarious, it manages to top itself. The main character is just like The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt...super naive and corny in a world of vulgar teenage sex. The movie is non-stop laughs and dark humor - those who get offended should stay far away from this movie. It truly is tasteless, but in a really clever and funny way. This is the path that "The To Do List" should have been. It has an indie feel. I wouldn't think the writing on a movie like this could be considered "fresh" or "original", but I have to say it is. They took the line of what's "too far" and moved it waaaaay back. Check this out if you are fans of movies like American Pie or Porky's.

• It's better than you think it should be but not good enough for a 5...

  OK you see the title, you read the synopsis and you know exactly what you're getting into... They aren't lying to you, it really is a movie about a virgin teaching sex ed. It's not that funny, it is quite crass... but to be honest I did had a few "guffaw" type of chuckles so I couldn't go lower than a 4... the story being so typical, the acting a bit too much, the scenes are obnoxiously trying to make you feel uncomfortable... I wish I could give it a 1, but no... some parts, goodness help me I don't know why, were funny. Take it as it is... a really bad teen movie but with some really funny scenes (but not THAT many...)

• The horror, the horror

  jtdb2017-01-02

  Laugh-free, bizarrely-toned misfire unsure if it's a wild, raunchy sex comedy or a serious high school drama; unpleasant homophobic and racist stereotyping abound, not to mention an overload of profanity. Cast is mostly required to play things at the 2-dimensional level. This is the sort of thing that makes "Porky's"--or even "Wildcats"--look like "Citizen Kane" in comparison. To think of all the talented scripts out there in the world that lay languishing and never get made while something like this continues to circulate on pay cable is truly a discouraging thought; in case you haven't figured it out yet, this movie is not just bad--it's depressingly bad.

• This movie is hilarious

  I highly recommend this movie. The female sex ed teacher has an innocent bubbly personally that makes her extremely hot. She makes the movie along with her acting. Simon rex along with tom arnold play supporting characters. This movie had me laughing non stop all the way through its vulgarness. We need more vulgar movies like it. I was really surprised with some of the stuff that the writes came up with. It is all fresh and never been done material. Its not like a typical Hollywood film its better. Sooo Good, its a must watch film. Ps it also contains a few bare boob shots. Not many shots but the one scene was funny when it happens 30 some odd minutes into the film.
