Dirty Deeds is a by the numbers (literally) teen flick. There are ten deeds to be done by the high school senior challenger (Ventimiglia)twelve hours before Homecoming. Milo Ventimiglia is a promising young actor who deserves better than this. I'd much rather see him in something about the Borgias or the Medicis. Failing that, a Shakespearean role, even Romeo. But this tired rehash of a teen flick does nothing to show his talent. Fortunately, it won't be long before he is too old to play this type of role and then finally viewers may get a chance to see him do something worthwhile. There is little to be said for this witless enterprise whose only redeeming feature is Mr. Ventimiglia's always striking presence wasted in a hackneyed role. I must admit, though, I got a laugh out of the DVD disc which showed a piece of whole wheat bread with a hole in the middle where the DVD hole is, reflecting the perfectly innocent loaf of bread that was sexually violated in the film!
