Review of Extreme Movie (2008) by Jeff G — 27 Feb 2009

While this movie sounds like the typical spoof movies that spoof a genre or the pop culture of that era, this film strives to do things a little different and better. they take a subject: teenage sex and relationships then spoof that through a wide array of skits that are thinly linked.

what you get is a very uneven film some skits work some don't and fail horribly luckily for it it's not a total disaster and the film isn't too long to overstay it's welcome, like some comedies do.

but all in all I expected better, Considering the talent involved especially behind the scenes 10 great comedy writers and this was the best they could come up with. half of the fun of the film is seeing the teen cast you may remember from movies and tv shows showing up here in vastly more racy roles.

then what you remember it doesn't hurt the cast is very attractive. I was really looking forward to this movie finlly being released after 2 years. it's not horrible but largley average it has it's moments but overall it still falls short.

it has plenty of sex and nudity but somehow it still feels safe. it doesn't go over the top as promised with the extrme unrated label, but it's a ok rental. really just a series of skits linked together not by much half of these skits wouldn't pass on skit shows.

buy humorous none the less you could do worse. it was nice to see matthew lillard in a film actually being funny for once intentionally.
