This
movie just has to be compared with American
Pie and There's
Something About Mary, there's just no way to get around that.
In short, it lands right in the middle... not quite as good as Mary,
and a little better than Pie.
Josh
(Breckin Meyer) and his girlfriend Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) have
been a couple since they were little kids. Unfortunately when college
comes around they end up going to different schools, and try to
maintain a long distance relationship. When Josh can't get Tiffany
to call him back after leaving several message, and getting one
really rude comment from her roommate he starts to think she's cheating
on him... enter Beth (Amy Smart), a really cute girl that wants
Josh real bad. They
end up getting it on, and in a fit of kinkyness Beth talks him into
videotaping the episode.
Before
all of this started Josh had been making a video to send to Tiffany,
one of those mushy love things that no self-respecting guy would
ever do, or at least would never admit to doing. As you know from
the previews the tapes get swapped and Josh and his buddies end
up on an 1800 mile road trip to retrieve the tape before Tiffany
sees it.
To
attempt to explain the jokes would be futile, just as futile as
trying to explain what is was about There's Something About Mary
that kept everyone in stitches. Suffice it to say they mix in a
big helping of Mary, throw in a dash of American Pie, and sprinkle
it with various Farrelly spices and end up with a damn funny movie.
I
wasn't expecting this movie to knock my socks off, but it did. It's
very very close to a 5 star movie, but its not quite as good as
Mary and thus in my mind can't have the same rating. If we had a
half star, this movie would rate 4.5.
