The Virginity Hit (2010) Reviews

• skip it

  mysekurity2010-09-09

  Like most movies under the Ferrell/McKay brand, this one is immature, dumb, and worst of all boring. I saw it last night in Union Square in NYC, and even the usually forgiving audience there was silent through most of the movie. With the rare exception of a couple well-placed scatological jokes, there really isn't much to write home about. The archetypes from the famous teenage comedies are all there, but the film seem to borrow especially heavily from Superbad. It's shot in a Cloverfield-meets-road trip movie style, with the two main characters stuck in a Jonah Hill / Michael Cera roles, which is strange because there isn't one name actor in the bunch. It's surprising that they're pushing this for wide release, as the $2 million budget seems better suited for art houses. In all honesty, you could do a lot worse than this movie. But with 1.5 hours you could also do a lot better.

• Underrated, under appreciated, and misunderstood.

  This is my first review, I've grown a habit out of checking the ratings/comments on IMDb after every movie I watch...I'm familiar with the site enough to know that some films are unfairly rated, this one takes the cake. Reading some of the reviews on this makes me wonder if they had even seen a preview of the movie before they watched it. I knew beforehand this was going to be a goofy movie, that's why I wanted to see it. The actors played their roles well, the supporting character 'Zach' had me laughing constantly, and overall I was impressed with how real it felt. It really brought me back to a time when I didn't care about much besides getting high, getting laid and being with friends. The only part about the movie that was off was when they decided to hire a porn star to sleep with 'Matt'. Other than that, the story was fairly believable. I don't think I really need to go into it more than that, I can't imagine someone seeing the previews to this and expecting something other than what it is. This one is worth the watch in my opinion.

• Readjust Your Expectations

  Everyone keeps trying to compare this film to the Judd Apatow-era teen comedies, or the "American Pie" franchise. Thus, they are going into this with the wrong set of expectations. This isn't *that* kind of comedy. It has a lot more heart,for one thing, and it plays by a different set of rules. Apatow & Co., and "American Pie" come from the perspective of my generation (Gen X) projected on the current generation (Gen Y? The Millenials? Whatever we're calling them). This film comes more from the sensibilities of the current generation: sharing *everything* online, no such thing as TMI, no sense of privacy. I tried to consider comparisons to other films. It reminded me a little, in spirit, of the recent little sleeper "Bart Got A Room." I also tried to approach it from the perspective of "'Porkys' made by kids who weren't born when the original was made." All of those fell short. Ultimately, it's its own film. Just like the kids it's about, it has a different set of boundaries and priorities; but underneath, the humanity is the same.

• Really funny movie - if you give it a chance!

  jb1212011-02-20

  I must say, I was really into The Virginity Hit after about the first 30 minutes. The beginning of this coming-of-age story was a little shaky (being filmed by an amateur with a hand-held camera) but eventually settled into a funny, "I can't believe that just happened" romp through the landscape of a young boy becoming a man. Matt Bennett was by far the best actor of the bunch portraying his character in a sensitive and realistic manner. Nicole Weaver and Krysta Rodriguez were very believable and likable as well. The friendship of the four male leads felt true. By the end of the movie I was feeling like I wanted to see more of the friendship. What now for the four, I wondered? I think the movie is very entertaining and encourage others to give it a chance!

• Waste of time

  the_bichu2011-03-08

  I tried to find interest in this movie but this is the most boring, idiotic and uninteresting movie i ever watched. I didn't got what they are trying to do, it was so disturbing and finally after 20-30 minutes i turned it off. All character in this movie were okay they acted well, Nicole was pretty and matt's look was innocent but the story was so awful and tooooooo slow. thats why i recommend people to skip this movie and don't waste you time as its precious. If this movie is the last choice still don't watch it instead of watching this movie hangout with friends.
