You know what? It’s not that bad

Scotty has just graduated from high school and he had his heart set on going on to college to be joined by is high school girlfriend the following year. This girlfriend, Fiona, waits until Scotty’s father points the camera their way for a picture of him in his cap and gown to dump him. This same day Scotty discovers that the German pen-pal he has had and communicated with via email for over a year is, in fact, an incredibly attractive girl. As fate would have it two of his best friends are going on a trip to Europe the next day and while Berlin is not on their itinerary, Scotty is determined to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Ok, that’s the brief synopsis, and the reason it’s so brief is because it’s my belief that they used plot to officially be able to call this a movie. This film is just an excuse for crude behavior, cruder site gags and more nudity than I thought they allowed in an R rated movie. Having said all that, its not that bad of a film. There are several laugh out loud moments in this movie. The young people in this motion picture did a good job with what they had to work with. But where this movie really excelled was in delivering some did they do what I think they just did moments again and again. As much as I wasn’t expecting to say this, this was a good time at the movies. The two star rating should indicate, however that this movie most definitely isn’t for everyone, so be advised and have fun.
