Like so many other people, I was led to believe (by the trailers and commercials) that this movie was in the vein, or at least in the genre, of American Pie and Something about Mary. I thought it would be laughs first, romantic twit-fodder second. But it just goes to show that now we're going to have to start STUDYING the trailers -- looking for tricks like this.
If you're a big fan of romance comedies, then this movie might not leave that feeling of pulsing anger when you leave halfway through. Even if you are, though, you might expect some of the latter half of the term "romance comedy". No dice.
To sum the movie up, the producers figured out that it would be profitable to hire the hottest stars (Suvari and Biggs) of the movie that is the reigning king of teen comedies(American Pie - great movie, btw), throw them together (while they're still relatively cheap) along with some advertising and a bare bones movie with something akin to a plot (geek gets out) and script (character types that don't exist in the real world).
The resulting pile of ass is just a drain on our patience and our wallets.
