"Produced by Judd Apatow, the man most celebrated for shaping new credibility into raunchy American comedies, comes a laugh out loud coming of age drama about three horny teenage geeks on their way to a party. Entertaining and even a little adventurous, this film is not only genuinely funny but also intelligent and creative as it is able to capture the true feelings of teenage frustration, meant in a sexual and a more general term, in a way in which it has hardly ever been seen before. Although it contains the usual childish graphic humour, some of which is particularly disgusting, it never feels tasteless and even has that added tinge of sweetness and nostalgia to it that makes the viewing experience all rewarding. Much of the credit for the film’s entertainment also goes to its three leads Cera, Hill and Mintz-Plasse who show great comedic presence but are also able to transmit true feelings in their performances as the hapless leading trio."
