3 reasons why it flopped


First off, I loved this movie. But, I think it flopped because....

1. No nudity
2. No well known sex figure. (Sarah roehmer is awesome, just no blockbusting megan fox. Yes, I know they tried with molly sims...but not enough sexuality from her to supplement the need)
3. No blockbusting male lead. (Studio wanted chad micheal murray for nick...money wise, sure, prolly make more...but quality wise, olsen was just the man as nick)

I have seen it twice the last 2 days - its so funny. It starts out as lough out funny, then iget a bit serious (in a good way). The moral is great. Theres a few stupid scenes (but its only 2 or 3 and dosent in anyway ruin the movie). And the girls....dammmmmm, i wanna be a male cheerleader in my next life!(and straight) ;-)

I will defently watch this movie with my daughter when she comes home!

Btw: im male, 41 years old :-)

Has it flopped? I don't even think it's come out in England yet, but all my friends are going to see it. I saw an early showing of it a while ago. Thought it was quite funny.

I didn't realize it hadn't been released worldwide.It flopped in north america, only like 19 mill. I hope it picks up some more money, I loved the movie.
