The Virginity Hit 2010

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: A transgressive blend of stoner comedy, horny teenager movie and Blair Witch reality riff, this no-budget romp through teen New Orleans crosses the line and erases that line in a hell-bent pursuit of hell-bound laughs. Read more

Mike Hale, New York Times: Unfortunately, the things that can be funny and even liberating in a movie like American Pie end up looking coarse and slightly depressing in the scripted pseudoreality of The Virginity Hit. Read more

Eric Hynes, Time Out: The Virginity Hit is elevated by its cast of very funny young actors who match good comic timing with relaxed spontaneity. Read more

Nathan Rabin, AV Club: The mockumentary format lost its freshness decades ago, but it perfectly suits an exploration of a form of narcissism unique to the YouTube generation. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A thoroughly depressing teen farce in which Internet voyeurism has replaced human intimacy and where privacy is *so* 20th century. Read more

David Roark, Dallas Morning News: It's crass, senseless and, consequently, void of humor. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The cast gets some room to improv, and the home-video style -- call it blockbuster mumblecore? -- works cleverly because it emerges right out of the everyone's-an-exhibitionist YouTube age. Read more

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: Essentially the first feature-length YouTube video. Read more

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: This Web-inspired Superbad rip-off is simply super bad. Read more

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Far funnier and much less annoying than you might expect. Read more

Kyle Smith, New York Post: It relies heavily on wacky plot developments and routine gross-out gags like a guy excusing himself from his lad-love's bed on their big night so he can suffer sudden-onset diarrhea. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's kind of a low-budget, grungy looking Superbad without the stupid cop stuff. Read more

Kevin C. Johnson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Producers Will Ferrell and Adam McCay should know better. Read more

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: None of this is the least bit funny. Or in any way entertaining. It's just another teenage-clown-in-a-dunk-tank flick. Everyone fire away. Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The best argument yet why YouTube novelties were never meant to run at feature length in theatres, or to be taken seriously. Read more

Andrew Barker, Variety: Equal parts bold experiment (in sustaining a YouTube aesthetic for an entire film), and shallow redux of well-worn teenage sex comedy tropes. Read more

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: If there were justice in the world -- and there isn't -- the film would quickly crawl back under the rock whence it came. Read more
