Those three words came to mind when I turned off the TV. It was a wonderful silly. The most memorable actress was Cathy Moriarty. She was stunning - and hilarious. "Foreplay is for sissies!" That's too much. This movie may be... Full review

Yea, people complain about the stereotyping, it's supposed to be that way, its supposed to blatantly show how homophobic middle-class white people can be. Sending your vegetarian cheerleader to a "gay fix up camp" is hilarious! We might think this is... Full review

I thought this would be a funny satire like Drop Dead Gorgeous (which was hilarious)...not so. This movie just didn't need to be made; it's as simple as that. Do yourself a favor; skip this one...and don't let your kids watch... Full review

I was quite surprised with the stereotypes presented in this film. A girl is a lesbian if she is a vegetarian and doesn't like kissing the boyfriend who slobbers worse than a dog? Of course, you knew she was gay when... Full review

I was actually surprised with all the strong stereotypes presented in the film but I guess that's what made the movie so hilarious. The plot is comedic and original with a little romance. Overall, a very cute and funny movie.... Full review

It's certainly more amusing than Moriarty's therapy routines which finds the girls learning how to vacuum properly and the boys discovering the joys of motor mechanics.
Blame writer Brian Wayne Peterson and director Jamie Babbit for what looks like a mid-70's high school play (and a bad one at that) and fails to produce one genuine laugh in 89 painful minutes.

when they start falling for each other their scenes together become candid, genuine, touching, and eventually erotic.....the rest of the movie is irredeemably cartoonish.....Gay men may likely, and rightly, take the movie as a slap in the face.....Two former True Directions members, a gay couple named Larry and Lloyd Morgan-Gordon (Richard Moll and Wesley Mann), are sympathetic characters --....then we'd lose DuVall in one of her better performances..... ...

I liked the acting of most of the cast here with the leads being well suited for the roles.
I think it worked better than the oversaturated colors and the sometimes obscure references (from names to locations and a whole lot of the dialogue).

It's not a terrible film
It looked a bit grainy with some problems relating to the color and sharpness, as well as the composition.
In short, it looked like a low budget movie.
