I was hoping to catch the funny side of Matt on "Seventh Heaven" and Lex Luther on "Smallville" when I rented this movie. Unfortunately, that side seemingly doesn't exist. If you're looking for something along the lines of "American Pie", you won't find it here. "American Pie"'s Stifler, Jim Levinstein, Paul Finch, etc. are all funny. I have to be honest here. The WB has yet to present me with any actor worth more than a few generous chuckles (excluding their current Friday night lineup).
Plus, these three guys didn't intend on doing another "Some Like It Hot" and it shows. And you can't blame their youth. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis weren't that much older than these three guys back in 1959. We just have to face it, though - Lemmon and Curtis looked like they spent weeks working on their female personas and these guys looked like they spent a couple hours trying out a few ideas in an uninspiring Adult Ed acting class. The voices, the body movements, etc. are so lame to the point of obnoxious.
So, if Lex Luther in drag doesn't completely weird you out, you might like this. All I can say is that the WB seems to be going against the trend. At one time, TV actors and movie actors were like East and West - the two never met (Except in made-for-TV movies). Today, that overlap is quite common, e.g., George Clooney moving from ER to the big screen. But, when the most promising movie performer the WB can come out with is Joey from "Dawson's Creek", something's not right. And in this movie's case, nothing is funny.....
