I've seen a few reviews be negative or mediocre and say "it's been done before", but I'm sure these are the same people that give films like Superbad a 10 and say things like "OmG fuNnIeSt MoViE eVeR!". Well guys, a comedy about some underachieving Caucasian guys with bad haircuts trying to get laid has "been done before", to death, in fact. I can't even think about a comedy in the last several years that doesn't have this factor at the central core of it, except sometimes the protagonists are not Caucasians or they happen to be fictional athletes or celebrities yet still pursuing women provides a huge part (if not the only part) of the story. So it's funny how much hypocrisy can thrive on IMDb.
This movie is nothing new or shiny. Yes, it's "just another" revenge flick. But hey, they are fewer and far between in these so-called "sensitive times" of force-fed diversity, political correctness, and overall pussyfooting through life. It's a mean and insensitive film and it was a pleasure to watch. I ever read some subtle hints at class warfare in this. I will say that the shameless plug for Saw (you'll know it when you see it) was pretty silly, but Hollywood is as shameless as they come, after all. Sit back and enjoy. You won't leave the theater smarter, but a lot more satisfied that watching another boy-chases-girl happy ending comedy with cheap sex and bodily functions jokes that are a dime a dozen these days.
