    This movie was not funny at all! It was completely idiotic, and made both women and men seem stupid and shallow. Nothing redeeming at all about this poor excuse for a comedy.

    This movie is very superficial and not at all funny. It was a waste of my time and money.

    Boring . . . not funny. There's even a rape scene that for some reason isn't acknowledged as rape. "American Pie" is funny compared to this movie.

    It was interesting at first but it just started getting anoying! By the end you were waiting for it to end.

    Sets out to demonstrate that life is about more than having sex. Inadvertently -- I think -- it ends up showing us just the opposite. As if we didn't already know.

    The sensibility of the movie is naggingly adolescent -- less erotic than squeamish and giggly. [11 Mar 2002, p. 92]

    It's very funny, terrifically lively and, considering how awful it might have been, surprisingly tender in its portrait of a young guy who learns sensitivity the hard way.
