I saw this at a screening last month. I had been putting off writing a review for it, but I wasn't very inspired by it when I first saw it, and after the time that's passed, I'm even less so. It was a typical, generic, cookie cutter teen comedy. I liked that they tried to make this kid an ambitious one by showing his interest in going into politics, but none of the humor was original or funny, the repeated “gotcha” dream sequences were copouts, and annoyed the hell out of me, and other stuff didn't make sense to me, like why he didn't call the cops on Kelly after the incident at the bank, or he assualts him in the car, or why Kelly isn't even punished at the end of the movie.

Why does Klitz wear thick glasses and a 60’s Monkees haircut, and then ask his best friend if he looks unattractive?

Why, after getting revenge on the bully who threw him out of a party earlier in the film by telling him he can’t participate in the porn film he’s producing, do we see that bully pulling his pants on afterwards on the set?
