Essentially, this film molds elements of John Hughes and American Pie style teen sex comedies onto a model story of Hamlet: a young heir to his father's empire is overtaken by the evil uncle. Worked for Shakespeare, worked for the Lion King, and now it works for Wayne Newton. The story is simple and straightforward. Though it can be quite cheesy at points, the humor makes it work on the whole. The dialog is snappy and effective, as it is the main source of the humor. Heck, there's even a noticeable lack of gross-out gags, very rare for comedies like these.Furthermore, every actor makes the very best of their role. The religious family, the porn stars, and even the high schoolers are all very easily believable. On the whole, very likable. A notch above the rest of its genre. 8 out of 10 stars.

While this is no Academy Award winner, the film is genuinely funny. It is styled like another derivative US high school teen comedy, but really made me laugh. In fact, the film tends to make more fun of itself than 'gross-out' gags, of which there are hardly any.The scene where the lead character has hard-fought fantasy in algebra class is absolutely hilarious. The film features one of the brothers from Malcom in the Middle who adds to the humour, especially when the lads watch an "alternate' video by mistake as a prelude to their party.Why not spend a few dollars renting this movie overnight. As an unpretentious fluff piece it is 5 stars.

This movie on the onset may seem like "just another one of those teen movies", but if you say that and not see the movie, you are losing out. Believe me, I've seen many a teen flick and been bored and disgusted with most of them... this is why during the first 10 minutes I'm thinking, great another American Pie rip off. Even the main characters physically look similar. Anyway, then the movies took off, increasing and surpizes and unpredictable twists and turns that made me think this movie does indeed have cinematic value and social implication. Not as deep as Apocalypse Now, but certainly up there with Fast Times, Risky Business, and Porky's (One that is). Anyway, one should never expect too much from a teen flick (don't go looking for Socrates or Plato), but this one makes good entertainment. It's definitely NOT garbage.

Worst film i have seen ever. This movie was just too much. The hot ladies dint save it! Cliches after cliches disappointed me and my fríends several times. _ After 45 minutes of timewaste we pressed "eject" and started waching telly. I caught myself closing my eyes, looking in magazines and doing everything else while watching that lame movie! _ Never see, rent or buy that movie! _ Never!
