Adam and Eve (I) (2005)
2/10
Romp stomp and snore
11 October 2011
Love hits you like a frying pan - hard and fast. Adam (Cameron Douglas), student / rocker / pizza delivery boy living the life with a bunch of extreme slobs, falls head over heels for Eve (Emmanuelle Chriqui) a down-to-earth diligent university chic with one fatal flaw: she is a virgin and has no immediate intention to change that. After months of going out Adam is still stuck in second base with blue balls and not even a hope for a BJ...

National Lampoon is renowned for the wacky in-your-face comedy focused mostly on the trials and tribulations of college students. Farcical and unrated its not supposed to be intelligent or overly thoughtful. Renting a movie with the logo on it basically suggests pure unadulterated fun with no intellectual strings attached.

This straight to DVD movie lacks any of the above. It lacks any sincere comedic effort, basically flooring it with knock-knock level jokes and disgusting sexual frat boy humour. The movie attempts therefore to delve more into creating a romantic drama with comedic interludes, but the story drags on with varying levels of clichéd crappiness. Only Chriqui does a commendable job at acting, whilst the rest give portrayals unworthy of high-school theatre.

Naturally all this could be forgiven had the movie been funny enough to distract from the overall ineptitude, but as mention the comedy is probably the weakest element in it. As such this is an unredeemable waste of time.
