dansview I hated that HJO guy when he was a child actor. I couldn't stand his petulant facial expression and his wooden acting. But I love the guy as an adult underdog.Look, in the secular world this character is a loser. No motivational psychobabble can change that fact. You should be having sex if you are secular, and if you can't get any, you've got a real problem. It deserves sympathy, but it is embarrassing.If you're religious however, you have a good justification for remaining a virgin, and you don't have to apologize to anyone for it. But this guy seems to have been secular.We see this large black lady giving him excellent life advice throughout, but we never hear her back story. How did she get so wise? Although her advice was on point, it was super awkward having her dispense it without any background. Also, guys don't want advice about how to be a man, from a woman.I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear underage kids talking about sex in a movie. Forget that. I don't even know how they did it legally. It ruined it for me.There are no really funny scenes. I don't want to see someone vomit on screen. That's such a cheap gross-out 80's rip-off. I would have liked to see much more photography of the Tampa Bay area. They hardly even utilized their surroundings.How could a guy pay for an apartment and have a life based on one after school class? Were those kids on "detention" throughout the movie, because he had the same kids in the class all the way through. They originally said they were on detention.The best part of the movie was the main character's male best friend. He was a funny guy who reminded me of a young Aaron Eckhart. The wise-cracking black kid was a cheap ploy. What a cliché. It fell flat.The real message here was that alpha-males get the girls, because confidence is the main thing that attracts women to men. It's that simple.It's nice that they included a Reverend's point of view, and his was the one that I made at the beginning of this review. I think they treated a religious figure with respect here. Even if the message of the film was the opposite of his.Well, I made it through, and I give HJO the credit for that, because he was an underdog worth rooting for. Otherwise, this one lacked background and laughs, and needed a clearer message.
MovieHoliks I saw this off Netflix over the weekend, and, having seen Haley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense") in a few "grown-up" supporting roles in the past few years, I think this was the perfect first grown-up starring role for him. He stars as a new teacher at an inner-city school who decides the students need a more realistic take on sexuality, and hence starts a sex-ed course. But he's not the most experienced in the bedroom himself, so things get sorta awkward. He starts a little fling with the older sister of one of his students, and that complicates things even more. I will say I liked HJO in this role, and there were things about this movie I liked, especially that rascal student "Leon" (I think was his name-?? LOL), but overall on the film, I'm kinda on the fence. It's pretty predictable and formulaic, and really doesn't take on anything new. I did think the one student's comment (having seen plenty of online porn with the "Bang Bros") about what you need to get a girl in the sack was pretty funny- a VAN! LMAO
burnttoastl The movie is...fine. It's not super original or overly well done, but it is entertaining and the cast do a pretty good job with their roles. I may have enjoyed it more if I weren't watching a movie that has an incredibly specific setting about which the writers apparently knew nothing. This move did not need a very specific setting. It could have just as easily taken place in Indianapolis as Tampa and St. Pete. If you choose as a writer to make the setting a big deal, maybe find out some information about that place so that maybe at least one thing the characters say about it would be accurate. I know this one is nit-picking, but I should hope that a person commuting from St. Pete to Tampa wouldn't be spending a lot of time on the Skyway considering it would take them to Bradenton.
JÄnis Locis A good movie to watch if you just want to relax and enjoy some jokes, hear some dirty language from young kids. An easy to watch, not complicated comedy with very plain plot, but you can see that in 2014 sex is made to be a very open subject in society, even to young kids, that kind of is the goal of the movie, i feel. The black lady was absolutely hilarious, would really love to so more movies starring her. I found that Joel Osment was really a great actor to play the leading role of this movie, since he looks so inexperienced and clumsy from the get go, you really can feel the character and don't have to doubt if he is well suited for the role. The movie was short, no surprise, since it was a comedy, if you don't have anything to do and just want to enjoy an evening and chill, then it is a good watch.
