Dorm Daze (2003) User Reviews

A pleasant surprise

[proffate · 6/10 · 15 December 2007]

I watched this on Netflix's online service, initially as a time-killer. I had expected to turn it off after 10 minutes. Thankfully, I didn't.

It turned out to be a fast-paced comedy of errors even more complex than What's Up Doc?. Let's see... There's two gossipy girls who keep getting everything wrong, mis-delivered love letters, a hooker mistaken for an exchange student (and vice-versa), two identical handbags, one of which contains a big wad of cash and a planned armored car robbery.

With all that happening, yeah, it's hard to follow all the plot convolutions, but that's what makes it funny initially and eventually hilarious.

The young cast performs energetically, which is all this kind of movie really requires.

Not highly recommended, but a pleasant way to kill an hour and a half.

Not what I expected

[Groverdox · 6/10 · 8 March 2021]

"Dorm Daze" is better than I expected. As anybody who has seen "Pledge This" can attest, the name National Lampoon in association with a college-referencing title is no indication of quality. But "Dorm Daze" never stoops to the disturbing gross out "comedy" of that movie, and nor - phew - does it star Paris Hilton.

The movie also only has one scene of nudity, in which an appallingly artificial looking woman bares her rubbery chest-missiles. I think this scene is only available in the "unrated" version, and thus that's a version that should be avoided.

So what does this movie have? It's actually kind of funny, for one. Most jokes don't land, but it was able to raise a smile or a chuckle from me on occasion, which puts it ahead of the majority of comedies. The cast is also above average, and keeps the movie afloat. I didn't care too much about the lightweight plot, which is a farce based entirely on a serious of misunderstandings, such as a prostitute and a foreign exchange student both named Dominique and hence confused with each other, and two gossip mavens who falsely assume one of their fellow students is being beaten by her boyfriend.

Of course these misunderstandings only develop and deepen as the movie goes on, whereas they would otherwise be discovered and dismissed, but the movie continually finds some vein of comic potential. It's not as bad as it could have been, though it feels extremely light weight, with little going on aside from the above.

I can't believe I saw the whole thing

[mars_central · 5/10 · 13 December 2005]

I have watched a fair few 'National Lampoon' movies in my time and the one thing that is guaranteed is that there are no guarantees. Some are hilarious, others make you wonder who looked at the script and thought 'let's make this movie.' The plot, such as it is, is far better suited to a sketch show. There are some funny moments, but the whole thing is essentially one long joke. This is why it would be far better on the small screen; stretching a joke for 10 to 20 minutes is hard, 90 minutes is impossible. The performances from the cast, all of whom have very little to actually do, are all OK. But to be fair to them, no one is going to shine with such poor material. See this film if you have nothing to do one afternoon and you can see it for free, as it is mildly entertaining. If you actually buy it on DVD you will be sorely disappointed as it has very little re-watch potential.

Loved this really funny movie

[robocopxp40 · 8 October 2003]

I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago and I loved it. Then I went back and saw it again and loved it even more. It is really funny!!! There is so much going on and it goes so fast that you have to see it twice to get everything. What I really like about the story is that the jokes are not just one liners or fart jokes, it was funny because of the story and what happens to the characters. Like, the part of Tony played by Edwin Hodge - he is always in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets blamed and misunderstood. I can relate to that character because that happens to me at home a lot too. I also thought Danielle Fishel and Tatyana Ali were great. It's cool watching them alot on their T.V. shows Boy Meets World and Fresh Prince and then seeing them grown up in Dorm Daze. They are so hot! Patrick Renna and the Sherminator guy are fun to watch as brothers. It's fun seeing the Sherminator have a big part. I also think that James Debello, who played Bert in Cabin Fever, and was really funny in that movie, is really funny in Dorm Daze I can't wait till I graduate this year and go live in a dorm.

Good Premise but Poorly Executed

[claudio_carvalho · 3/10 · 30 October 2011]

When I read the cover of the Brazilian DVD "Dorm Haze", I found a funny premise in the synopsis. A French student named Dominique comes to the Billingsley University in a exchange program and her host can not welcome her since he needs to work. So he asks a gay roommate to receive her in the university dorm. Meanwhile, another student hires a call girl named Dominique to force his roommate to lose his virginity against his will. There is a misunderstanding with the "Dominiques" and the dorm goes crazy.

Unfortunately the cast is unfunny and the gags are too silly and do not work. I saw this film expecting to laugh and I did not find it funny in any moment. The Fantasy Girl in the Extra is the best part of the DVD. Last but not the least, there are many fake reviews in IMDb promoting this terrible flick. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Nota 10 em Confusão" ("Grade A in Confusion")

This movie is Horrible!

[hockeySv · 1/10 · 23 December 2006]

National Lampoon's Dorm Daze is easily the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen the movie Kazaam. Anyone reading this who thinks this movie was good in any way, shape, or form has no idea what a good movie is, and should never watch another movie again because they are indeed so stupid.

Its hard to name everything wrong with this movie. First off, the plot is all over the place and can't follow all the multiple "misunderstandings" very well at all. The acting is awful to say the least, and the whole thing was poorly made. Any and all who worked on this movie should not be in another movie of any kid Ever Again!

It is too hard to sum up this movie in just a paragraph or two, because it is so bad, but for anyone out there reading this please DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!! If you want a good movie to watch, go turn on anything else on television. Even U.S.A. has better movies than this.

_friend.

A rather large disappointment

[knuthammer · 3/10 · 24 January 2005]

jeez, when i heard this movie was a NATIONAL LAMPOONS i thought it was going to be awesome, but i really got a say it was a rather disappointment. I have seen the most movies they've made, from Christmas vacation to van wilder, and this movie is the worst movie in their name,, really bad actors and a to much intense movie. this movie is probably good to watch if you are watching it with a crowd of worked up people and the ability to laugh at it, but if you are into good comedy's like i am, i do not suggest this movie, i would much rather watch van wilder a second or third time, than to watch this movie... you have been warned.

Simply Not Funny

[wolf_rahm · 3/10 · 15 April 2005]

Me and a buddy rented this movie the other day. At first look, it seemed to be another teen movie, which was also what we hoped for, being fans of simple horror and comedy.

It seems that the movie is designed to disappoint the viewer as much as possible. It quickly accelerates into something that holds a lot of potential. Unfortunately it never quite leaves the ground. We had watched it for something that seemed like 1 hour, when I finally, half-sleeping, managed to say :"Dude, this movie sucks" It was only 35 minutes actually... Dude agreed.

The problem is: the movie is simply not funny. It was undoubtedly supposed to be funny, but it failed. It failed in a way that made me sad. It kind of reminds me of myself. I had the potential to be anything I wanted, and instead i ended up watching cheap horror/funny movies all the time. I pity the makers of this movie from the bottom of my heart. Its so sad. All that potential.. and nothing.

"National Lampoon" not living up.

[brotheryooter · 2/10 · 12 September 2004]

I love movies in this genre. Beautiful girls, toilet humor, gratuitous nudity. So why didn't I like this movie? No movie like this should add even the slightest confusion to the plot. Who's who, where is the money, it's not SE7EN, just make me laugh. Maybe it's me, but i never felt this frustrated watching American Pie movies or any other more modern National Lampoon's movies. This movie has no flow that keeps me smiling, waiting for what's next. Instead, I find myself stopping to think, "Why did they keep that scene?" I do not recommend this movie. If you are expecting Van Wilder, think again. The only fun I had watching this movie was guessing what movies the actors were in when they were kids. 2/10 generously.

a good find

[StanMakitadonuts · 7/10 · 15 January 2007]

You never know what you are gonna get when you watch a national lampoon's movie lately. This is one of the better ones I've seen, of the newer batch. It's no Van wilder, but it has it's own qualities. The story is really neat, and written with some fun depth.... it's still just a comedy, don't expect rocket science, but do expect to be surprised by the original trademark touch that dorm daze brings to the table. You will probably recognize a few of the faces as well, which is nice, Nobody too over the top famous and it works just fine like this. great little find. check it out.

7/10

Bad..very bad movie :(

[westreal · 1/10 · 17 November 2006]

This has to be one of the biggest misfires ever...the script was nice and could have ended a lot better.the actors should have played better and maybe then i would have given this movie a slightly better grade. maybe Hollywood should remake this movie with some little better actors and better director.sorry guys for disappointment but the movie is bad.

If i had to re-watch it it would be like torture. I don't want to spoil everyone's opinion with mine so..my advice is watch the movie first..see if u like it and after vote(do not vote before you watch it ! ) and by the way... Have fun watching it ! Don't just peek...watch it 'till the end :))))))))) !!

Good fun!

[MidnightWarrior · 8/10 · 24 December 2004]

DISCLAIMER: This film is not your average classical Hollywood film! People going into this film expecting a normal film, a softcore porn film, or some kind of sex romp will be very disappointed.

Your disappointment should not cause you to make unfair and bias reviews towards this film - once you understand what kind of a film it is (or is trying to be), then you can make an informed review and appreciate it for what's it worth.

Please do not get me wrong - this film has Hollywood production values, but the script of the film leans more towards the classification as an avant-garde film rather than a classical Hollywood film. END DISCLAIMER

This story takes place in a college campus dormitory. Since it's Christmas time and the end of the semester, several students are leaving the dorms to go back to their families (including the R.A.). The film begins with two brothers, one who's sex obsessed and the other who wants to keep his virginity for the fair maiden across the hall. The sex obsessed brother has hired a prostitute named Dominique (Boti Bliss) to satisfy his brother and then himself (separately, mind you). The shy brother wants nothing to do with the prostitute, much to his brother's disliking.

Another one of the residents, named Wang, is expecting a foreign exchange student from France who's name is also Dominique. Meanwhile, word has spread around the dorm that a prostitute will be arriving. Two girls, Marla and Lynn (also known as the dorm's gossip, snobby girls), vow not to let that "whore" in and make plans to stop her from coming in. Another girl, Rachel, is friends with Claire (Tatyana Ali) and has borrowed and mistakenly lost a purse Claire's grandmother gave Claire. Another student, about to flunk out of college because of finances, receives a package with a purse in it(similar to Claire's) containing $30,000 and a note with a phone number.

The farce is on as we meet more characters and their unique plot lines. This film is a non-stop laugh fest packed with sexual innuendos.

This movie reminded me of the end portion of almost every Benny Hill series: anyone who has seen the series would remember where the producers would edit the soundtrack to play some wild soundtrack while we would see Benny Hill running around as people chase him.

For those who have not seen Benny Hill, think of the Three Stooges or the early Charlie Chaplain films. This movie is nothing but a funny Farce which gets tiresome after 3/4 of the movie. But for those who were expecting some kind of sex romp, it looks like National Lampoon had the last laugh on you.

Bottom line: If you have a taste for experimental cinema (like Peter Seller's The Party) and want to laugh at a farce, then go watch it. I would recommend this film only to these people, not those expecting a classical Hollywood film.

I really liked this movie, and I sure didn't think I would.

[ratlyn · 7/10 · 23 June 2005]

Believe it or not, "Dorm Daze" is for fans of AMC, not MTV.

I watched this movie because Patrick Renna was in it, and he's always been funny. But I was expecting a really terrible "American Pie" clone, and I was pleasantly surprised. This is not a typical "college" movie. It's nothing like Animal House, Old School, or Van Wilder. "Dorm Daze" is an homage to old-style comedy, in the manner of Laurel & Hardy or the East Side Kids -- comedy that the audiences of most modern college movies have never heard of. So I see why it was given terrible reviews by most. But if you appreciate the black-and-white stuff, you'll like this. I was very pleasantly surprised.

There were a lot of things I liked about this movie, but here's an unusual one: Even though I was watching the "unrated" version, and many of the characters are indeed rather sexually motivated, this was certainly not as in-your-face sexual as most college comedies are. Most of the comedy is found in chase scenes, mistaken identity, people getting thrown out of windows, and the like. That was a plus.

On the downside, there are no really memorable lines. While the early scenes between Patrick Renna and Chris Owen seemed a little forced, the overall dialog wasn't bad (well, in the age of Star Wars prequels I think we've all learned that good dialog is optional). Still, there certainly was no "Honey, you think KFC's still open?" or "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life." But maybe that's not a bad thing. There are too many movies out there that seem to only stay afloat because they're quotable -- "Zoolander" comes to mind.

I did have one real problem with this movie. There was no cross-dressing! What's a slapstick without a guy in a dress?

Rating: 6.5 out of 10, but I'm leaving it with a 7 because the unexpected watchability of this movie convinced me to round up.

What a bunch of garbage

[skippydmb · 1/10 · 17 October 2004]

This movie was like a gathering of people that had been in other movies and they decided to make a really bad movie. It had a dude from "Detroit Rock City", a girl from "The Cosby Show", that dork that kissed the chick and bought that sausage was in "Sorority Boys" and there was more. OK that doesn't make a bad movie in itself, that was just something I noticed. The whole thing with the hooker and the french girl having the same name was dumb and the thing with 37 people writing these notes and if you think they are going to get mixed up.....shocking enough.......you called it. And the purse thing, that was just plain stupid. It was so bad that I watched the movie in two parts and still only made it to the 50 minute mark. If you are watching this and expect "Van Wilder" or a movie like that......Don't.

Wow, what a terrible movie.

[hckymeyer · 2 October 2003]

This is the first movie I have ever went to that I seriously considered walking out of. I had high expectations from this film. A group of college kids in a dorm by National Lampoon. I'm thinking Animal House and Van Wilder. Turns out it should be in the dog house. The movie is just not funny. The directors tried to throw in some gratuitous nudity to spice up the movie, but all it did was make you have a sense of pity. It was like the only reason to see this movie was the 3 combined seconds of nudity. While the idea behind the movie had potential, I would rather go to the dentist than sit through this again.

if it's presented by National Lampoon it's crap

[movieman_kev · 2/10 · 1 June 2005]

A stupid teen supposed comedy that revolves a serious of misunderstanding including (but not limited to) a hooker being confused with a foreign exchange student, girlfriend beating, a girl loving a gay guy, and the straight guy that loves her, and bitchy gossipers. None of the following is funny or even amusing. Nation Lampoon's use to be hilarious back in the day. Now the name is sadly synonymous with crap. And this one is NO exception. I use to think Topenga was kinda cute when she was on "Boy Meets World", but it seems she let herself go (and yes I know she has a name, but into she does ANYthing else worthwhile, she'll stay as Topenga)

My Grade: D

Eye Candy: Kati Lohmann gets topless; Boti Bliss relies on a body double (BOOOOO!!!)

Awful and deceitful advertising

[scatjunk · 1/10 · 28 December 2004]

Worthless movie. A complete waste of time and nothing what I expected it to be. The packaging makes it seem as if it is of the American Pie genre (it isn't). rather it is a ridiculous stringing together of coincidences that makes the movie seem more like a writing exercise (let's try to see how many mix ups we can write in to make what should have been a bad SNL skit into a full length feature presentation). What is remarkable is that the director's (based on their commentary on the DVD) take themselves completely seriously. I have been a huge fan of the movies that National Lampoon lends its name to, up to and including Van Wilder. With this one, I feel completely cheated. In fact, I FEEL DUPED. I was expecting a Van Wilder like farce to relive my college days but instead was served an hour and a half of garbage. What lead to my ultimately unmet expectations? Well, for starters, the fact that the cast all appear naked (with an enormous sausage covering what must be covered) on the COVER of the DVD. Add to that the imagery on the back of the case as well as the description and you mislead people into thinking this is a movie that it is not. To make matters worse, the movie starts off as one might expect it too with half-naked drunk college students feebly trying a photo stunt, but ultimately this has nothing whatsoever to do with the movie. In fact, I didn't even realize that the people in that opening sequence where supposed to be the characters in the movie until I was told so by the directors in the commentary. Don't get me wrong, I love plot twists and being surprised by movies, but I hate the fact that this movie tries to pawn itself off as something it is not. Ultimately, it does itself a huge disservice (artistically, though most likely not financially) because it sets its audience up for confusion and disappointment simply because it neglects to deliver what it advertises.

In short, do not rent this movie based on what you see on the case. It is not your usual National Lampoon movie. The only thing funny about it is the fact that many of the actors have appeared in other movies and TV shows that make their involvement here entertaining.

User Comments Suffer from AstroTurfing

[abez · 3/10 · 19 March 2005]

Look at the all the positive user comments of this movie, then check to see how often each one posts user comments. They post once. It seems companies are probably paying for services which post junk pro-movie comments on IMDb.

This movie was awful. The plot was stupid. The acting was poor. The jokes weren't even funny. The movie included minor nudity from what looked like porn actresses but none of the other characters.

It was clear from the first 15 minutes that movie wasn't funny. There was some slapstick here and there but most of humor was supposed to be derived from the characters talking behind each other's back and spreading rumors. This isn't even done well. Every joke is obvious and you see it coming.

The movie is worthy of fast forwarding or better yet not watching.

I regret watching this movie and if I could charge the studio and distributor for 1.5 hrs they stole from me I would.

A confusing effort at a teen raunchy comedy

[Robert_duder · 5/10 · 15 May 2005]

Dorm Daze was for the most part exactly what you would expect which..if you're watching the movie, obviously is what you want to see. It is typical National Lampoon's for the most part and as of recently Lampoon's slew of videos ie: Blackball, Golddiggers etc. it's a place for former teen sitcom stars to settle down to something stupid. They tried a very specific style of comedy in this round which is the misunderstandings that worked so well for Three's Company back so many decades ago. The misunderstanding thing is funny but overdone to the most massive extent in this movie.

Dorm Daze is the story of a co-ed Dorm on the brink of Christmas holidays. Many have gone home and only a few remain. The friends have some interesting things going on. Booker's older brother Styles wants Booker to lose his virginity so he has hired him a hooker but Booker is in love with another girl. A french foreign exchange student who has the same name as the hooker who is arriving is coming to campus to meet with another guy to go on a Christmas break trip together. And then to top it all off a bag full of cash (30,000$) has been sent mistakenly to one of the girls. All these things get intermixed with chaotic confusion among the students. The two girls are mistaken for one another and the cash is being lost and found through everyone in the dorm in a purse that has a look alike also in the dorm. Chaos!!! The comedy entirely comes from the mistaken identities and mix ups and some of it rather funny. The downside comes from the lack of plot anywhere else in the film. It all bases itself around that. As other people have noted on here this film...although there isn't a lot to it drags on for what seems like hours!!! It's a very short movie and yet seems to go on and on and on. The cast is okay...they are as good as you can expect from this. Tatyana Ali (Ashley from Fresh Prince) seems be touted as the star although she doesn't hold the movie by any means...no one really does. Overall this is just a silly average movie that won't hold anyones attention for very long as all the recent entries in National Lampoon's seems to be. They don't even go for over the top disgusting humor anymore...not that I'm complaining....save your money and time for something else.

5/10

What can anyone really say about this awful crap?

[gothicgoblin1334 · 1/10 · 9 May 2006]

If anyone at National Lampoon is reading this PLEASE STOP THE CRAP YOUR PULLING OUT OF YOUR BUM, really now! Why the hell are you doing movies like these? They're not funny and watching it for the sexual content is a complete waste of time, really. It is such a horrible movie you may want to shoot yourself while your watching it. I am serious here, guys, it makes Harol and Kumar go to blah blah blah look like an actual good movie (and we all know that H&K is one of the worst movies ever made) It really sucks, it REALLY does. How bad it is? Well, even losers that actually like National Lampoon shall hate this movie...they'll want to murder the director, I swear to God. I hate you, National Lampoon, die already. Die.

Better than I could have ever possibly hoped

[Bettlejuice · 7/10 · 18 November 2007]

Let me first say that the name National Lampoon tends to send me running, screaming in the opposite direction. What was once a title that would give us comedy such as Animal House and the early installments in the Vacation series is now reduced to Van Wilder, Barley Legal, and Pledge This. So When I fired up the DVD player to watch Dorm Daze I thought I was getting into more of the same. However I can say that I was thrilled to find myself actually laughing out loud on several occasions during the movie. The story of Dorm Daze all takes place in about six hours when a bag of money gets mistakenly mailed to a girl in the dorm. Also a hooker and a foreign exchange student both named Dominique come to the dorm for different reasons. What ensues is a process of mistaken identity and mayhem as everyone in the dorm tries to get their hands on the money. In a series of way to convenient coincidences things get more and more out of hand as more and more people are involved in the chase. In a way Dorm Daze is like a throwback to the old madcap comedies such as What's Up Doc and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. It's hard to follow but its still fun to sit back and enjoy the ride. It's nice to see National Lampoon have one last decent movie to show what can happen when the actually try.

Now I know what "painfully bad" means...

[know_bod_dee · 1/10 · 6 September 2005]

This movie actually hurts to watch. Not only did I not laugh once, I ended up getting a serious headache. At times, I felt so sorry for the actors involved. The best way to sum it up is to note that among sex comedies, it is probably the least funny and least sexy of all time. I'm only sorry I can't give it a vote of less than one. To give this a rating of one is an insult to every movie that scores two or better.

Now I see that they're filming a sequel. Hearing that someone is actually paying these people to make another movie convinces me that there's just too much money in Hollywood. RAISE THEIR TAXES!!! Making a sequel to this movie may very well constitute a crime against humanity; perhaps an international tribunal should be convened, or U.N. sanctions applied to the filmmakers.

In short, it's a really bad movie. Really, really.

Hilariousness ensues in wacky farcical melee

[Movie_UberCritic · 9/10 · 1 October 2003]

One may imagine prior to viewing a National Lampoon's film what to expect. Gross out humor, nudity, sexual misunderstandings, and so on. 'Dorm Daze' has all of this, and so much more. Written(By Minnesota natives Patrick Casey and Worm Miller)in the style of a Shakespearen Farce, the jokes of the movie are primarily set up by misunderstandings amoungst a cast of college freshman. It is the day before Christmas break at Billingsly University, and with the RA on vacation, some of the students decide to indulge themselves in some otherwise inappropriate personal endeavours. The Character Stiles(Patrick Renna), orders a prostitute for his virgin brother Booker(Chris Owens), while at the same time a new foreign exchange student with the same name is scheduled to show up. As one could imagine, misunderstandings lead to wackiness, and wackiness leads to ridiculous hilarity. Standout performances by Patrick Renna, Tony Denman, Danielle Fischelle, Tatiyana Ali, and Boti Bliss(as the prostitute), make this film well worth seeing time and time again.

Some other critics have not been as pleased by this cornacopia of laughs as this critic. Why you may ask? Because other critics are stupid, and they obviously don't understand the concept of a farce. If you as a viewer laughed at 'Animal House', 'American Pie', or 'Van Wilder', then 'Dorm Daze' is your movie, and in my opinion the best of its kind since possibly 'Animal House' (Which most critics didn't like at the time either, morons). In fact the only problems i had with the movie were some post production flaws that didn't fit with the rest of the comedic mood. An undernourished and weak soundtrack, and some 'Zach Morris' looks straight out of 'Saved by the Bell' were the few problems this critic had, although they took nothing away from the ingenious dialouge and hilarious performances that the film embodies. If you haven't seen 'Dorm Daze' yet, make sure to do it after having gone to the bathroom, to make sure you don't pee yourself when you laugh your ass off. Movies this funny are a few and far between.

Surprisingly decent...

[flynnb-1 · 6/10 · 8 August 2006]

I was bored. I randomly started watching this movie on Showtime, and didn't know anything about it. After I finished watching, I was interested enough to figure out what the name of the movie was. Despite having only one actor that I recognized (the girl from Boy Meets World), I was actually rather impressed by this movie.

First though, the negative. This movie is incredibly sophomoric. Most people who would be minimally entertained by an Animal House, for instance, would probably not be entertained at all by this movie. There are random T & A sightings, and much of the dialog is rather stilted.

However, I was still entertained. The reason for this was the all-out farcical nature of the movie. This has just as many cases of mistaken identity, quick entrances & exits (often accompanied by the requisite slamming of doors) and rather intricate set of circumstances as any traditional farce type of comedy. It is clear to me that the creators of this movie (whatever deficiencies in talent they may have had), certainly had a fine appreciation of the merits of a manic, fast-paced farce. And that is ultimately the saving grace of this movie.

By no means am I recommending this movie if the viewer has to spend any money to view it. But if it happens to be on Showtime, and you're bored, this movie is not a bad way to alleviate your boredom.

Pretty tired antics

[Sandcooler · 4/10 · 26 August 2009]

This movie can best be described as a very long episode of a very bad sitcom. How many vaguely humorous misunderstandings can you cram into just one movie? Notes are misplaced, bags are switched, conversations are misheard, people get mixed up, situations are misinterpreted, and somewhere along the line people are supposed to laugh about something. The writers are really struggling to keep everything going, which makes the dialogues feel really forced. If anyone in this movie acted like a real person all this would be resolved in around two minutes or so and everyone could go back to their lives, but they have to keep the misunderstandings going. At times this movie also tries to go for some juvenile laughs, but all those do is remember you about how funny "American Pie" was. The scene with the nerd telling the hooker (who he thinks is a foreign exchange student) to "eat his sausage" goes on forever, not one second of it is funny. I've got to give this movie some credit though: because of the subplot about stolen money, it's not as boring as it could have been. It also has a laugh here and there, but then sadly goes back to yet another character misunderstanding stuff. Overall this movie is just way too lame.
