MISS MARCH – Reviewed by David
As written and directed–if you want to call it that–by Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore, both members of the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’ Know, Miss March is a bottom-of-the-barrel gross-out comedy รก la Van Wilder and the Harold and Kumar flicks that will offend pretty much every demographic, save for teen boys and college jocks.
Cregger plays a high school do-gooder who on prom night falls down some stairs right before almost losing his virginity and wakes up four years later, thanks to childhood buddy Moore whacking him with a baseball bat, to discover that his sweetheart (Raquel Alessi) is a Playboy bunny.
The movie abounds with scantily clad Playboy babes, topless women, jokes about pee, poop and blow jobs, and enough f-bombs, courtesy of a risibly raunchy rapper (Craig Robinson), to give Grandma a heart attack. We also get to watch a pair of hot Russian lesbians make out like mad, see one of them work some magic on a door lock with her tongue, and hear such charming terms as “turd-cutter.”
Aside from Alessi, women are degraded to a big degree here, and Cregger and Moore seem more than aware of the slights, as they include a patently unfunny scene in which a bouncer claims he hates it when women are disrespected. They also take the time to ridicule firemen.
I did laugh, though, when a woman Moore is about to sleep with on said rapper’s tour bus suddenly gets bounced out the window. There’s also a funny bit involving a stripper pole, a strobe light and Moore’s epileptic girlfriend (Molly Stanton), as well as an amusing scene where Moore and Stanton dine at, and snap pictures of, a restaurant they think is nice simply because it lacks a drive-thru window.
I also liked Moore, mainly because he makes his sex-obsessed character a cheerfully oblivious fool and so it actually seems kind of endearing that he knows the Playboy mansion’s address by heart, refers to the place as a cultural landmark and has a heart-to-heart with Hugh Hefner himself. He’s funny in a good way, unlike the recurring joke of Cregger crapping his pants. – [DVD]
