“Rented this movie as a late sunday afternoon movie, thinking it would be lame and a no-brainer that could help me ease my hangover. I wasnu0026#39;t prepared to laugh, I just wanted something to watch without thinking too much. But it turned out to be the funniest movie Iu0026#39;ve seen for a long time! I reckon that those comments on this movie that were negative, didnu0026#39;t get the underlying humour in the movie that isnu0026#39;t that obvious. For me it was kind of a kick in the nuts to other teen movies, making fun of the clichés found in these films. At the same time it uses these elements to make some really good jokes and giving it a ironic touch. I mean; the u0026quot;whipping looku0026quot; was just hilarious!! Just the whole u0026quot;looser getting coolu0026quot; plot is so over the top, it has to be ironic. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI believe this is a movie that european filmlovers would like much more than the americans. It plays on a level that is not easy to understand when living in the middle of the u0026quot;realityu0026quot; it is portraying. For us u0026quot;outsidersu0026quot; it is so much funnier. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you donu0026#39;t get the movie, then youu0026#39;re not…sorry I donu0026#39;t mean to offend anybody…that in touch with reality. Sorry….u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e****(*) out of ******”
