Miss March

156. Miss March

Miss March comes to us from a couple of the Whitest Kids U Know, Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore. They write, direct and star here.

Cregger is Eugene, an 18 year old high school student. He's about to graduate. He's also about to become a man, finally agreeing to sleep with his girlfriend after their senior prom. Moore is his friend, Tucker. Before Eugene can get upstairs to the bedroom where his girlfriend is waiting, Tucker plies him with shots of alcohol to try and loosen him up. Eugene winds up imbibing a bit too much and inadvertently choosing the wrong door to go through. Instead of finding his girl, he finds himself falling down a flight of steps into the basement. The fall doesn't hurt him as much as the items that fall on him do. Ultimately the whole incident leaves him comatose. Some 4 years later, he comes out of the coma with a bit of assistance from Tucker. Imagine his surprise when he finds out that his girlfriend is currently Miss March in Playboy magazine.

As I often say in this blog, this movie is not high art. There are dick jokes, shit jokes and lots of sex talk. Honestly, these are some of my favorite types of movies. I'd hope to hell that you've all figured that out by now however. This movie fits right in line with my taste and was actually what inspired me to check out the Whitest Guys U Know on dvd.

The story here is decent, albeit fairly typical for this type of flick. The cast really helps to elevate this one. Moore and Cregger are great, playing off of each other very well. The years of chemistry they've built up is very obvious. Moore's facial expressions add so much to some of his scenes. The supporting cast includes Craig Robinson, Raquel Allesi and Molly Stanton. And it wouldn't be a movie regarding Playboy if Hugh Hefner didn't make a cameo in there at some point.

Overall, this is a really enjoyable flick. Lots of laughs. I recommend it.
