Is This Movie Smarter Than a Fifth Grader

Short Answer: No

This caught my attention on HBO because I noticed that the producers are a bunch of former and current Pro Baseball Players. An opening day pity rebroadcast must explain why it was shown at all.

The characters would have been stock characters if any of them were even developed that far. This movie gets it so wrong that it isn't even clear that the jocks dominate the school, whether the psycho in the pickup is a jock or not, whether the hot girls are popular or hermits, whether the dorks are oppressed or just slightly less popular. I think all the nerds get laid without even much of an effort. When even timeworn cliches are beyond the comprehension of the writing staff it might be time to consider writing something less complicated; maybe the "hip" slogans on a McDonalds bag. Let the Family Guy Manatees write films like this, its their specialty.

Even the appearances of the hot girls are screwed up. None of them are in it more than about 4 minutes total and they don't have much to do but stand around. How hard is it to have a scene where someone visits a beach or has a car wash? Its been done in teen movies since the 50s. Its really hard to screw that part up. It was screwed up here.

I'm glad baseball is back in season so that a sequel is less likely. April 4, 2007

Every Actor's Got To Start Somewhere

Dirty Deeds is one of those movies that you sit through saying to yourself, "this is idiotic", but instead of abandoning it midway through you find yourself still sitting through it until the credits begin to roll.

It's silly. It's a teenager movie. It's been done a million times before in Hollywood (most of the time poorly). Dirty Deeds is one of the sub-par high-schoolers-making-mischief-attempts where if you're perusing cable late one night--and can't find anything else on your 500 channels--is maybe worth a stop if you're determined to watch TV instead of just going to bed.

But who knows...you might be seeing the beginning of some great careers! Just look what 1980's teeneager movie Hollywood Knights launched for the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer, Tony Danza, Robert Wuhl and Fran Drescher. Everybody's got to start somewhere, right?

Not Another Teen Movie!!!

Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls, The Bedford Diaries) stars as Zack Harper, a kid who helps out his friend Kyle who is in a bit of a rut. Kyle was challenged by a senior to do the Dirty Deeds. The Dirty Deeds (there's 10 of them) are just random things on a piece of paper the person has to accomplish. There's also a record that has never been beating before. So, Milo sets out to do the Dirty Deeds and there's also a party being thrown at a house where they keep a scoreboard of how many Milo has done. Not Another Teen Movie!! Just had to say that but its bascially what it is. In American Pie you had Jason Biggs doing the pie and in this, well Milo Ventimigla enters a bag of whole wheat bread (if you know what I mean). Milo helps the film but nothing is special about this movie. More moronic characters. My advice is watch it (Unrated or not) once and the decisions are up to you. Also starring Lacey Chabert (Not Another Teen Movie, Mean Girls) of course, Mark Derwin (One Life To Live, Heist), Zoe Saldana (Drumline, Pirates of the Caribbean), Panso Gorson (South of Nowhere, Dear Wendy), Billy L. Sullivan (My Life, Little Big League), Ray Santiago (Meet The Fockers, Pinero), Todd Zeile (King of Queens, SNL), Michael Milhoan (American Gun, Pearl Harbor), Erin Torpey (Crescendo, One Life To Live), Arielle Kebbel (Aquamarine, Be Cool), Dave Power (Frailty, Boston Public) and Charles Durning (The Final Countdown, Rescue Me) for some odd reason that I dont know why. What does the Unrated version have to offer? Female Nudity what else?!! May 22, 2006

dirty deeds indeed

watching this film i felt i had seen it before . it follows the same teen movie cleshays that we know so well offering nothing new for this type of movie . saying that i've seen worse and fans of teen comedys will probable find it entertaining for the most part . the main reason i got this was that the talented Lacey Chabert is in it . acting in the type of film that she made fun of in not another teen movie . lacey does her best with the material and what little screen time she has but she is not aloud to show her true comic potenshal as she was in films like mean girls .
in my opinion this film is not bad it's just very avarge .

thank you for reading my review . March 20, 2006
