Movie Review

Grade: C+ Teen comedies are my weak spot. Even if ninety percent of them are pure crap, and while I'm watching them I know they are bad, I can still end up enjoying most of them. I liked Tomcats for example, even though I acknowledge that it was a horrible movie with nothing even remotely original. Then there's Slackers, which has caught me off guard. It's not laugh-out-loud funny, even though it has the same stupid potty jokes that most other teen comedies has, yet it is still entertaining, and a little sharper than some of those "other ones."
