It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreWalking into this film I expected another dumb American Pie wannabe. But I was pleasantly surprised. So basically the film is about a teenager, Neil, who's parents are part of a church that wants him to never lose his virginity. However he soon discovers the church practices satanism and wants to sacrifice him to Satan. He flees with his friend Matt and they try to get Neil to lose his virginity and save the world. The cast give good performances, Cary Elwes steals the show as the leader of the church, and Darryl Sabara (Juni from Spy Kids) provides most of the film's laughs. Also the characters feel realistic. So yeah I give Teen Lust a 7/10 and if you like horror comedies or just want some good laughs I recommend this film.

View MoreNot sure why the ratings are so low (currently 4.8) cause this is perfectly watchable for a comedy-horror.Perhaps they expected a lot of nudity because of the title and poster (not much in that department) and felt duped and rated it low because of that, I don't know.Sure it's no masterpiece or anything but it's never flat out dull and the characters are pretty funny.It's about a teenage guy who's been selected as a virgin sacrifice for a satanic cult, in order to prevent that from coming true he needs to get laid or die trying ASAP, and that's pretty much the movie. So not Shakespeare exactly and some minor flaws but if you dug 'THE FINAL GIRLS (2015)' or 'HELL BABY (2013)' or the like I don't see why you wouldn't dig this enough.
... View MoreI thought the premise of the film was lending itself to some fun. I was imagining a mix of magic used for pornographic reasons and devil ridden apostles trying to kill the protagonist. But in the end it was just uneventful, unsuspenseful and unfunny.There isn't more I can say about it, except to fill the mandatory (and pointless!) ten lines, not because I can't find something, but because there really isn't anything worth telling. I think Jesse Carere is a talented young actor that was completely wasted on a really weak script.Bottom line: waste of time.
... View MoreMy girlfriend and I saw this movie as part of a film festival in our city last week. We went in not knowing much more than a quick tag line, and weren't expecting much from a relatively low-budget Canadian production.The storyline involves an 18-year-old student whose parents belong to a Satanic cult. After realizing that they want to sacrifice him because of his virgin blood, he sets out on a mission to lose his virginity by sunrise. Think "American Pie" meets "Superbad".Having low expectations, I'm happy to say we were quite surprised with it. There were plenty of laughs and we were all chuckling a lot by the end. The two lead actors have a great rapport, probably due to them being good friends in real life, and all the others in supporting positions are just enough to keep things moving along at a good pace. A huge plus is that the movie never takes itself too seriously, and manages to poke fun at a lot of things at once. We were also lucky enough to hear the director, producer, and one of the cast members (Annie Clark) talk about the creation of the film a bit. They were all quite personable and funny, which explains the tongue-in-cheek humour of the movie a lot.All in all, it's absolutely worth the 90 minutes or so. It's no Shakespeare, but solid nonetheless!
