With expectations so low, you'd think there wasn't a single redeeming quality about the production. Most likely, you'll feel exactly that way in the first five minutes. Oh, and revulsion at the really nasty jokes...and it doesn't get any better until the the credits roll.
But, this movie also contains the same qualities as the old John Hughes movies from the 80s. The guy gets the girl, there's a lot of teen angst, a kid stands up to his abusive father, the nerds have their day, etc. It's all been done before (and done better, too!), but it's still interesting to me and I rather enjoyed this flick.
If you like Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber and the aforementioned Hughes catalog, it might be worth a try.
Strangely, a Pass.
