IMDb plot summary: Four teenage boys enter a pact to lose their virginity by prom night.
Directed by Paul Weitz. Starring Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and Eddie Kaye Thomas.
Well, this is horrifying and disgusting. It paints creeps as being owed sex and women as sexual objects to be tricked into use. Wacky sex hijinks can make for a funny movie, but not when they're coming out of such an awful worldview. The ending attempts to add some heart but doesn't do nearly enough to undo or even balance out the toxic attitudes toward women found in every second of the rest of the movie. Ewwww.
