One of the worst movies of all time. Absolute garbage.

This is not only one of my most hated movies personally, it's one of the worst movies of the 2000 decade, and thus, one of the worst of the entire 2nd millenium so far.

Basically the plot is, Jonah Hill is a sexual-predator in the making. He's hell bent on 'getting laid' to the point of obsession, as result of his hyper-sexuality from watching way too much porn.

Then we have Michael Cera's character, who's goal is to buy alcohol for an underage girl, so he can manipluate her while she's inebriated. That is literally the plot.

The women in the movie are basically sexual objects to be obtained. There's no character development of the female characters and they only appear at the end briefly.

In the end, only the nerdiest, ugliest and most awkward of the three protagonists actually gets laid, which makes it even more ridiculous.

None of this movie is anything like going to a teenage or college party in 2007. It's certainly not like a party in the 70's either, if that was the inspiration.

This what happens when people like Seth Rogan and Judd Apatow have too much money, too much time on his hands, and then we have terrible projects greenlit like this.

Trying to get laid doesn’t make someone a sexual predator, it’s pretty normal. Are you a virgin or something?

As for Evan, you are totally wrong. First of all they are the same age. Second he isn’t trying to get her drunk, he is trying to be cool. If you are underaged, and you have a hookup to alcohol you are cool among your peers. Plus it didn’t matter. When he showed up she was already drunk and expressing her goal to sleep with him, and he still didn’t do it! He didn’t even have sex on his mind. He had a crush on her, and he wanted to express his feelings, and she was way too advanced for him.

As for Fogle. He was the only one that got laid because he didn’t overthink things, and coke up with an elaborate plan like the other two. He found his confidence that night, and just walked up to her and introduced himself. Prior to that, he would run if she looked his way. Totally realistic.

" he isn’t trying to get her drunk, he is trying to be cool."

"He didn’t even have sex on his mind."

Are you kidding me ? Did you even watch the same movie? The entire plot of the movie is about them trying to get laid. Jonah Hill says it clearly in the first scenes.

"He had a crush on her, and he wanted to express his feelings, and she was way too advanced for him."

Oh yeah, guys never think about sex ever, and never even want sex. They just want to express their feelings!

Evan repeatedly said to Seth that he was going to tell her how he feels. Evan had a crush on Becca, and sex is obviously going to part of that, but it was never the end goal for him. She threw her self at him, HARD. If it were just about sex, he would've had sex with her, but he ended it, and said this isn't how i pictured it even before she threw up.

Evan was inexperienced, he thought she was shy and sweet, and he was maybe ready to talk to her, and express himself and go from there, he wasn't ready for "the best blow J ever", or "you have have such a smooth cock". While she was saying this, he was saying "youre so pretty". She was way too advanced for him.

It's one thing to have a conversation with your friend about it, it's another thing to actually go through with it. Yes I know he brought his own lube, that doesn't mean he fully understood what he was doing.
