This is another joke of a parody film that shows it's awful just by the title. I haven't seen a longer title since The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. But from what I hear, that movie was good. From now on this monstrosity of a title will be shortened to The 41 Year Old Virgin because I do not feel like writing out this title obviously. Hell, just typing it out word for word leaves you just 61 characters on Twitter. Is that necessary? Well, seeing has it's a parody movie, it has the ability to color outside the lines. It has no rules, it can do whatever, it's a parody film.
This excuse is not made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, though by Craig Moss (the guy who brought the world Saving Ryan's Privates) as it says on the back of the DVD. What the hell is that? Surely is something that stupid came out I would have known. I cant find a VHS or DVD of it. I can find some torrents, but in no hurry to download it. From what I've read it's only an eight minute short, so now I could careless. I wouldn't even review it if I had a copy in my hand.
The film (loosely) is about Andy (Bryan Callen), a 40 year old virgin, who is looking for love in the wrong places. He lives with various friends like Seth (Big Time Rush's Stephen Kramer Glickman) and Sanjay (Frank Maharajh). He has three friends McAnallovin (Austin Michael Scott), Jonah (Steven Sims), and a Michael Cera look-a-like who's subplot is forgotten about. He tries numerous ways to find his love with a friend names Blaqguy (Shamari Berkley) which has lackluster results. But after finding the love he saw is moving, he finds a girl at a party who's friend impregnates. He then vacations to a place where both his impregnated woman and love are located. Oh, whatever will he do? Whatever the thrown together, lackluster script tell him too.
The movie is an obvious parody of all the Judd Apatow films. The title spoofs The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Superbad if that isn't a desperate attempt for a laugh. This movie wouldn't bother me if for one it didn't have about five subplots. Andy's trying to get laid, Seth is accused of being a predator, Michael Cera is kidnapped by vampires, McAnallovin is with two bumbling police officer excuses, and his two friends are betting involving marijuana. it's like the movie is panting and wheezing to keep up with itself. Also, the Michael Cera story is left in the dust. He is seen for about two scenes with vampires and his subplot doesn't have an end. He's just gone. What happened to him, I have no clue, I might not have been paying attention, but really, who is? The funniest thing about this movie is that it was greenlit when shown a trailer by Craig Moss (director) that was shot in a weekend by an unknown company. Let me explain, apparently, from some of the many bonus features packed into this disc which appear to have more time spent on them than any part of the movie, Craig Moss and his partner write ideas, show them to a company, then put on an indefinite studio production. When shown this "funny" idea to a company, they rejected it. So when the Craig Moss made a half assed trailer that was shot in one weekend and shown to the company, it immediately went from studio production to pre-production. So the trailer that was posted online about half a year ago was not even to a completed movie. Which is why it took so long to come out.
It reminds me of a movie my friend Mike Nuccio and I are doing. In March, we premiered a trailer for our upcoming short film One Shot Kill we thought about doing for sometime. When premiering it, we had no footage for the actual film shot. And since that footage was shot well over four months ago, we cant really use it, since we look completely different. The original release for One Shot Kill was June 28, but due ideas running slowly and other conflicts I wont mention till we do an interview after the film's release, its dug itself into a deeper hiatus. Our plan is, after Mike's vacation (which should end around July 25) we will shoot more footage in August, and the film's release should be around August 24/ If we're not done, we will throw the old ending that we shot in March on there and state our troubles at the end.
I think I did a little too much there, but we can be excused for not having a movie done before the trailer. We're kids, not major actors under contract from a company. Our ideas aren't last minute, but this seems like half of them were. So overall, it's just a beyond mediocre movie, but still, despite the flaws, Busted is the worse parody film I've seen, then Epic Movie, then this, then Scary Movie 4, then Date Movie. Though, whenever I see the new Vampires Suck Im sure it will be added to the wonderful list. So in the end, am I The 14 Year Old Kid Who Put This Crap in His Player and Felt Superbad About It? Starring: Bryan Callen, Noureen DeWulf, Mircea Monroe, Stephen Kramer Glickman, Austin Michael Scott, and Steven Sims. Directed by: Craig Moss.
