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.
