Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Excellent, a Must See

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bumbling high school geek Virgil Heitmeyer (an endearingly gawky portrayal by Jay Michael Ferguson) has yet to lose his virginity. A golden opportunity for Virgil to finally get laid arises after Virgil manages to get closer to the beautiful and popular Kellie Guthrie (radiantly played by the luscious Allison Lange). Will Virgil's date with Kellie go smoothly? Or is he going to blow his big chance to score with the girl of his dreams? Writer/director Donald L. Gold uses the novel and compelling premise as an adroit means to meticulously craft a brilliant and incisive cinematic meditation on adolescent yearning and the awkwardness of youth. The witty and inspired jokes on such surefire knee slappers as erections, flatulence, vomiting, obesity, masturbation, and homosexuality are always uproarious and nothing short of remarkable, with a lovable foul-mouthed parrot providing some of the picture's biggest belly laughs. The expert use of actors and actresses who are well into their mid to late twenties to portray teenagers gives this movie an additional bracing accuracy and authenticity. The characters are drawn with breathtaking depth and humanity. Kudos are also certainly in order for the first-rate acting by the uniformly stellar cast, with especially stand-out contributions from Dee Wallace as Virgil's sweet mom Francine, Richard Kern as Virgil's jolly dad Stanley, portly wonder Michael Bower as Virgil's tubby best bud Dwayne, Danica McKellar as the stuck-up Debbie, Jordan Belfi as odious jock bully Scott Jordan, and Jodi Fleisher as the ditsy Amy. Buxom blonde bombshell Jamie Hogan has a sizzling bit as a sexy stripper. The ingenious plot twist at the end is genuinely surprising. The cool soundtrack hits the get down groovy spot. Howard Wexler's handsome cinematography and Chris Anderson's jaunty score are both smack dead on the money fantastic. A true masterpiece.

I have often heard people claim that they could create a better movie than the one which they are watching, but I have never seen a movie actually validate such a claim. Sex and the Teenage Mind is presented as a serious attempt at a teen comedy, but appears more as a series of marijuana-inspired scenes brainstormed by people devoid of a sense of humor and completely out of touch with today's generation, which unfortunately happens to be their target audience. I truly think that the plot was made up as the movie progressed. It features many random scenes which not only detract from the movie's bare skeleton of a plot, but in addition coax the words, "was that supposed to be funny?" out of your mouth- already open in awe of how bad the movie is. During the movie I was actually amazed at how whoever was responsible for this piece of crap managed to make a cliché out of everything. The jock carries a football around for crying out loud, a character trait missing in Not Another Teen Movie, which intentionally overused such clichés. It really says something when a serious movie has more clichés than a parody on the same subject. Keeping in line with the theme of "last minute paper due the next day", profanity and nudity are placed into the film like similes in order to make it look more convincing that actual work was put into the project. They are put in such random context that it is glaringly obvious that their only purpose was to garner an "r" rating in a shallow attempt to appeal to teens. The only thing this movie succeeds in doing is boosting your self-esteem; not because of the nerdy characters, but because of the miserable effort put forth by the producers. One thing that really irritated me were the scenes which became awkwardly long for no apparent reason. Dialogue was repeated, the same points were emphasized, and I glanced at my watch a few more times. In one such scene we watch the main character drive to a girl's house for a good 45 seconds, as if we would be confused at how he got there if some of the driving was cut out. This becomes extremely frustrating when the first time is revealed to have been a dream sequence, and the scene is repeated. The main character is supposed to be a dork, but is portrayed to be so socially inept that it borders on mental retardation, and is so extreme that Napoleon Dynamite would point and laugh. The main character has difficulty walking without tripping, accidentally exposes himself to nearly every other character in the movie, and finds it necessary to practice putting a condom on a banana around his friend's waist while receiving direction, despite clearly labeled instructions provided with all condoms. Seriously though, good fun for the entire family... if your family has an average IQ of just under 14.

When watching this film, Sex and the Teenage Mind, one must ask themselves this question. Is Sex and the Teenage Mind a great film or the greatest film? It is truly one of the great tragedies of the 21st century that this amazing masterpiece was overseen for the Academy Awards. Never in all my years of viewing cinema has such a tremendous film been brought before me. It portrays the life of a young boy, Virgyl and his struggle with puberty, hormones, and even worse..............girls!!! Virgyls very sexually active parents suggest that he tries to find a girlfriend and become more sexually experienced. Virgyl is also helped out by his good buddy, the great film actor Michael Bower, and is taught how to sweet talk the ladies, master the difficult art of putting a condom on, and what are the best magazines to 'jack off to'. Virgyl then finds the girl of his dreams and stands up for her in their US History class. But oh no Virgyl, watch out. The girl of your dream's girlfriend, Scott, is a real jock jerk. But oh no, what's this? To repay Virgyl, Kelly hires a hooker to have sex with him. An all too common plot scenerio. This movie has laughs, love and most of all a great soundtrack. From the impersonations of the bee gees to the girl band cover of 'Doctor Doctor'. This movie has it all. A must see for any horny boy that wants to see a movie with one scene of a naked lady or a boy that has rapist thoughts when they look at a girl. This movie was definitely 90 sweet minutes in hump city

I should have immediately known this was a bad movie when the biggest names in it were washed-up sitcom co-stars. This was by far, the worst thing I have ever seen. I could tell it would be a stereotypical teen comedy, and in fact I only watched it because it had Winnie Cooper in it, and I've been in love with her for as long as I can remember. Not anymore! I cannot believe anyone would sink so low as to make this movie. Every character is a stereotype, it has terrible acting, an atrocious script, and the most predictable plot I've ever seen in my life. There where characters that just stopped showing up halfway through the movie, scenes that contributed nothing to the plot and never went anywhere, and every sort of gross-out gag you can imagine. I could only suggest this movie if you feel like torturing yourself for an hour and a half.
