Aubrey Plaza is a rising star in comedy but even she can’t save this one from
being anything but an average sex comedy. Plaza plays a high school Senior who
decides to complete a laundry list of sexual activities so she’ll be ready for
college. It’s a promising premise with a very real and important lesson at its
heart. My favorite aspect of this film is its ‘90s look. The costumes and set
design nail this time period in a hilarious way in the same manner The Wedding
Singer highlighted the ‘80s. Perhaps if the pacing was better it would have
been funnier. I’m not sure because there were a lot of funny moments, but as a
whole I just felt a better film could have emerged with the talent involved.
Grade: B
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
