The Movie:

So the synopsis that's found on the back of the dvd case reads as: It's time to get down and dirty! Your favorite characters from some of the funniest films of all time "come together" in this outrageous spoof of Judd Apatow's smash-hit comedies. Andy needs to hook up with a hottie, pronto, because he hasn't had sex in...well, ever -- and his luck isn't the only thing that's hard! His equally horny teenage roommates also need it superbad, and with the help of their nerdy pal McAnalovin and his fake I.D., they may tap more than just a keg. You'll score laugh-out-loud insanity with this hilariously raunchy comedy!

Besides the movies listed in the title, this film also spoofs on Twilight, Borat, Slumdog Millionaire, the Verizon Wireless guy, Grand Theft Auto, Dos Equis, Myspace, T-Mobile, To Catch A Predator, There Will Be Blood, Dr. Phil and Star Wars.

The acting is terrible. It's a shame because Bryan Callen (MADtv) can be hysterical. Don't expect to find that in this movie. The only character that vaguely resembled who he was spoofing was Stephen Kramer Glickman as the Seth Rogen character. Eventhough he didn't look the role, he definitely had the voice of Rogen.

And not only is the acting terrible, this entire movie is absolutely terrible. You know it's bad when movies like Date Movie and Epic Movie and get theatrical releases, and a movie like this gets a direct-to-dvd release. This movie actually did the unthinkable and could make you believe Date Movie and Epic movie are actually funny! All of the jokes are painfully unfunny. Not to mention the choices of what they are spoofing feel completely outdated. Star Wars jokes? Myspace Jokes?! Maybe this could've been funny if this came out a year or two ago, but to be released now? This movie should be completely overlooked and never given a second thought. When i say this is bad, I don't mean so bad it's good, I mean so bad that I am now afraid to watch a spoof movie after viewing this steaming pile. Thanks alot, Craig Moss!

Presentation:

There's not too much to say about this. For a low-budget comedy, it's not terrible looking. The transfer was surprisingly clear, colors looked good and skintones looked accurate.

Audio:

The 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround track is nothing to complain about, but also nothing to praise either. The audio really defined itself during the ending sequence. Dialogue was clear throughout the film.

Bonus Material:

• The Making of the 41-Year-Old Virgin Who... (13:58) - Consists of interviews with the cast, crew and director.
• The Business of Gags (20:50) - Provides a look at many of the gag effects that appear throughout the film.
• Being Jonah Hill (4:58) - Discusses the process in finding someone to play the role of Jonah Hill. I personally don't think Steven Simms looks anything like Hill. They also show a clip of Steven Simms short film.
• Bryan Callen: Internet Sex Deity (3:52) - Callen's fan mail from his MADtv days are read
• The Teaser: How They Got the Movie Made (5:18) - Shows how before they even had a script, they created a teaser trailer over a weekend and submitted it to see if they can get financing before moving forward to production.

Bottom Line:

While the title of the movie might entice you to check this out to see how the spoofs were, do yourself the favor and don't do this to yourself. There's really nothing funny about this movie. It's more depressing that it is funny. Even if you are a big fan of the Appatow movies (like I am), just avoid this movie at all costs. If you were in the mood to see a comedy, just revisit the movie(s) that are being spoofed. Atleast you won't hate yourself when the movie is over.
