what promised to be a interesting premise, highschool boy who is a wimp becomes a playboy after he has inherited the fortune and company of a multinational corporation. Suddenly he's introduced into a world, he thought he never saw and experienced things he thought he would never experience. The introduction of the lifestyle of his late parents and the clash of his suburban lifestyle with that of a big city is done perfectly. He's in why over his head here and he knows it. While he first fantasies about Britanny, he know thinks he can sleep with Ali Landry's character. If they did, than that would be awesome. But she knows he's a minor and she doesn't do it. However, Patsy Kensit's character doesn't seem to have any scrupules. She even makes out with Chris' best friend to get to Chris, even though she is repulsed by that kid. Who can blame her. He's annoying and repulsing. Chris realizes he has a lot of power and money, but quickly loses it because of the actions of his uncle who wants his cousin out and he wants the company and the fortune. Soon he's back to be a nobody and with no friends to show for it. After that, it goes to a standard formula of guy wins back friends and fortune or girl. Even though he doesn't hook up with brittany, he does with Christina Lakin's character who has a crush on him, but he doesn't notice her because of Brittany. Which is typical for these kind of highschool comedies. Boy is in love with popular girl he can never have, but doesn't notice a girl who has a crush on him. Boy gets popular girl but somehow realizes she's not the one and goes for the dorky girl that has a crush on him. Sounds familiar? It should, we have seen it way to many times by now, we know what to expect from these movies. A movie with Marnette Patterson, Ali Landy and Christina Lakin, what more do you need? Well a good plot perhaps. Even though it has a plot, it was somewhat on the mediocre side.
Lets face it any guy who like such raunchy teen comedies is going to want to rent this movie the moment he reads the synopsis.Hell the first thing I thought was I've had some crazy fantasies and dreams how come I didn't think about this?!!!Hehe.And then you see the large UNRATED sign on the front and you know the movie your going to renting.The other thing that came to my mind when I came to this site was that this movie didn't have theatrical release.Shocking considering many other movies have enjoyed a theatrical release, despite the fact they have made movies on common boyhood fantasies (Girl Next Door etc). Will give you my reasoning soon.This movie had everything one can expect in such movies, the losers who wake up one day and are suddenly the coolest guys, the hot chicks, the nude chicks, the crude sexual humour, THE JOKES ON SEXUAL ORGANS AND OTHER SUCH ITEMS OF INTEREST.......ETC.and more............AGAIN WHY Didn't I THINK OF HOW COOL IT WOULD BE TO ONE DAY BE THE OWNER OF A BILLION DOLLAR PORN EMPIRE........ the breast examination scene PURE BRILLIANCE..........the boy in me had 3 simultaneous Heart Attacks, the Christian PARENTS ONE OF WHICH IS ADDICTED TO COUGH SYRUP to cool, the little brother who gets action and yet is loved by the parents, THE GAY PORN....This movie has a whole lot of stuff which is up there in comparison to the best in the field out there.The acting is pretty good and the actors look their age (i heard both leads were 27 though reminds of Sarah M G who played a teen for more than 13 yrs).The sound was only 2.1 channel and the soundtrack and score was OK in context of other movies.SO WHERES THE CATCH?...............Ever had a dream that is completely outrageous and then something happens in the dream that so illogical (and unwanted especially in the context of the dream ) that your dream is shattered and soon you get pulled back into real life...............Thats exactly what happens in this movie. Picture this.......(dream) "You've woken up one day and realised you've inherited a billion dollar porn empire..............you move into your spanking mansion with scores of nude, hot women.............the chick who's just posed nude for your magazine is always following you around.......FROLICS NAKED WITH YOU IN THE POOL.......hmmmmmmmmm......... she come into your room one night dressed in her night shirt............you make your move.........."SHE TELLS YOU THAT THIS IS ONLY A FANTASY AND YOU SHOULD WAIT AROUND AND ONLY GO FOR A GIRL YOU REALLY LOVE"......WHAT A CHICK WHO POSES NUDE FOR A MAGAZINE, FOLLOWS YOU AROUND,FROLICS NAKED WITH YOU IN THE POOL, COMES INTO YOUR ROOM AND THEN TELLS YOU THAT SHES ONLY A DREAM .....................WTF.And trust me says this is almost the exact same words, if ever there was a dream shatterer this was it.To add to that she actually protects him from other girls and tells him crap like " I'm always there if you want someone to talk to"......hello this is dream take your stupid friendship offer and get the hell out.Besides this the last scene where the bad guy who claims he has the "majority share" is suddenly overthrown by others who also have a large majority of the shares . Last I heard there could only be one Majority share holders, how could such a large chunk of the shares just go unnoticed????? And what the hell is up with Ali Landry either you expose or you don't.......it was OK in the first few movies but any guy who's seen even one of her movies knows that she is going to walk around in a bikini and nothing more..........to add insult to injury she will give you several hints of being nude but show us nothing more........GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE HER IN ANYTHING MORE THAN A MOVIE IS VERY IRRITATING FEELING THAT WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.I'm sure she has inherited the warped sense of morality from another pioneer in this field SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, whose movie career is probably worse than Ali Landry's. When your not a classic beauty or a great actor whats with leaving something to the imagination??!!! Thankfully the audience has had enough of it and neither of the actresses career is moving forward.The point is that WHILE A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE FILM IS FULL OF REALLY FUNNY SCENES, its peppered with these really stupid scenes which act as a bitter pill and are hard to swallow. (There are many more just mentioned a few).A GREAT TIMEPASS MOVIE AND Definitely WORTH WATCHING if you liked such films as American Pie, Girl Next Door etc, but this movie did not have a theatrical release and you have to prepare yourself accordingly.Go watch this movie..................while I go back my dreams............my own billion dollar empire........my own immoral angels................hmmmmmmmmmmmm..........bye bye reality.+s what super concept, really funny jokes, good acting from the leads, hot nude girls, one heart failing scene (hehe),MEETS EXPECTATIONS, did i mention the original and great fantasy..........+/-s OK performances from the supporting cast (if that matters),so so score -s Ali Landry..no exposure and a conscience get out of my face, some really stupid scenes that ruin the overall experience.Total 7/10 (didnt give it the extra point for meeting expectations as then i may set the expectations to high hehe)
Second rate acting except from william atherton.The fat guy is especially annoying everyone acts like they,re on acid Makes some of the 80,s teen movies like brilliant by comparison.Watch the girl next door instead. 2 sympathetic characters Hirsch and cutthert, not a masterpiece, but not as insulting to your intelligence.The film pretends to be a meaningful teen-comedy about a young guy from the mid-west, who happens to inherit a fortune from his real parents. Who just happens to own a hugely successful adult magazine. And after losing it to his evil uncle, learns how to appreciate his background more instead of the luxury life hes was about to lead, but the story is clichéd to say the least
When a comedy movie boasts its marvelous soundtrack on the back cover you know your not dealing with a top notch movie. I rented this movie with friends expecting to get some chuckles but overall to get most of our laughs off each other making fun of the movie. We couldn't have chosen a worse movie.The movie may have been alright with a few changes. First off, the comedy was painful. Physical gags were poorly performed and placed. The fat kid in the movie made us want to kill ourselves, bless him for trying scene in and scene out but he was like a puppy begging for love. If he had been pulled from the movie everything might have been bearable. There were some funny jokes, I believe one was when the group of boys steal one of the parent's porn movies and it turns out to be gay porn. But to best sum up the comedy I will simply tell the opening gag for the fat kid. He wears a puke stained shirt and talks about not knowing when something is done.To finish off, the editor of the movie could have saved the movie by removing the fat kid, cutting out 20 minutes of the school scenes and making an ending that is longer than thirty seconds of random bickering.OH, BTW, there are two good elements that the movie possesses. Kadeem Hardison plays his role wonderfully and performs his jokes so that none are missed or under-appreciated. The other redeeming element to the movie is the beautiful Mrs. Ali Landry. Her character is ignored most of the movie which is a shame.Don't waste your time even renting this one. It didn't appeal to me and I was part of the target audience (18 male).
