Delightful.
Matt attempts to achieve the geek charm of Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg, while Zack wants to be Jonah Hill so bad he can taste it. Neither succeeds nor comes close. They speak in the cadence of jokes but there’s relatively few punchlines (or at least few that actually work).
Virginity losing quests are a frequent theme in films. As a friend of mine pointed out, they seem to run on 4-5 year cycles; most likely because it’s a new story to each generation of teenagers. And while the exuberance of youth often times leads to bad decisions, filmmakers typically find a way to imbue their characters with a certain level of pathos; some unspoken way to prevent the viewer from mistaking hormonal eagerness for sexual pathology. However, there is none of that here. The preponderance of failed jokes combined with the crass actions of the main characters makes for a dreary film going experience. There is, after all, very little comedy to be found in the hijinks of a group of serial rapists. Instead, what we get are the unfunny, mean-spirited antics of the Ghost of Registered-Sex-Offenders Yet To Come. Late in the film they attempt to turn the tables on the protagonists, but by then it’s too little/too late…even if it were done effectively…which it is not.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being Superbad and 1 being Porky’s 3: Revenge, The Virginity Hit gets a 2.
