Virgin Territory all together is just a mess of a film. After watching it, I can see why it went straight-to-DVD in the US. The film just lacked comedy, action, adventure and good romance. It felt really cheesy and the acting was pretty bad. The story just wasn't interesting and was sort of foolish. The lead actors; Hayden Christensen and Mischa Barton are pretty much lifeless on screen. Their attempts at British accents are laughable, Christensen is whinny when he should be heroic and his accent sometimes fades within the film, while Barton appears ready to doze off at any time. They both amazingly fail to change their facial expressions for the entire duration. The scenes in which Christensen pretends to be mute might have been his only good moments, but even here he is totally inadequate. Tim Roth was pretty decent in this film given the material he dealt with.
When it comes to missed opportunities, it really doesn't get any more disappointing than this. "Virgin Territory" is based on a book filled with stories of sex and debauchery, and yet it somehow manages not only to not be sexy, but neither witty nor engaging on any level. An example of a cheesy sex scene was with two females and two guys performing a sex act with a milk maid and a cow. The film seemed more PG-13 due to its language but was rated R for a few nudity scenes (and they weren't really that good). Overall the film was just a mess and not funny. Don't even bother
