My wife and I enjoyed this movie.

IMHO, the juice of this flic was well worth the squeeze of going to see it.

It showcases the hotness of Elisha Cuthbert in a story that’s right in line with the intelligence and insight parameters often found on this board.

Think of an updated and seriously heated up “Risky Business,” the flic other than “The Outsiders” and “Taps” which introduced many folks to the limited acting genius of Tom Cruise, combined with the sexy subject matter of “Boogie Nights.”

This movie gives verification to that nagging worry of all parents that “prom’ and “promiscuity” are synonyms and, beyond that, generates a new realization that “prom’ and “porn” are just a quick position switch and one more hump on a letter from being the same, if only in fantasy.

Actually, I fear this clever film with its PG-13 sounding title may not register on the movie-going radar of many folks who would dig it.

Surely there’s plenty of exposed scenery for T and A aficionados, but also good acting, winning characterizations, bunches of quotable lines and lots of entertaining low and highbrow humor.

It borders on being a little long and, indeed, with each new twist I feared the plot might be petering out to a limp ending, spoiling my very favorable reaction to that which had come before.

However, looking back now, I can’t think of much that should have been left out and I certainly chuckled harder and harder the further it delved into what I found an interesting, if over the top, storyline.

It’s the funniest and best comedy I’ve seen since “Eurotrip” and, IMO, one even more deserving of a “take a chance and go see it” recommendation to an open-minded adult audience.

You might want to rethink this statement before giving a favorable review, although I did laugh at certain moments in Eurotrip.

Scotty doesn't know was the best part of the movie. Matt Damon's cameo was great.

I hate it when the preview of a movie says one thing and the movie is totally different

BTW...not NEAR as funny as Eurotrip

did not have very high expectations, but came out pleasantly surprised. likable characters and very well acted. elisha cuthbert is amazingly hot. i was a little concerned the wife wouldn't like it, but she liked it as much as i did.

it was a little longer than i expected, but i never felt like it was dragging.

Saw this movie last night from Netflix, and despite some of the cornyness of it all, I really really liked it. I don't know what it was about it. I just enjoyed the story, the over the top characters, and the outcome. I may have to watch it again.

Wasn't the porn honcho, who said the juice/squeeze line, the same guy who's James Caan's main underling on TV's "Vegas?"

I thought he was pretty cool.

imdb.com doesn't show him as being on Vegas.

the porn honcho from 'girl next door' was the guy in 'rock star' who was in marky mark's first band. he was also in nic cage's 'gone in 60 seconds'.

the guy from 'vegas' is a different guy...he was in 'win a date with tad hamilton', but they do favor each other.

I liked it 100 times more than I expected to. I only really wanted to watch it cause of Elisha Cuthbert, but it ended up being good. I watched it twice within a couple day span and thats very rare for me.

I thought it was very good and I'm up for seeing it again.

The wife was talking about renting that uncut edition to enjoy this time.

Cool for later, but now I'm off to play a little rock and roll.
