This movie isn't very good, but Aubrey Plaza is good in it, so I ended up enjoying it. I do like that it's set in the nineties. And for a summertime coming of age romance/comedy it hits enough of the marks to be charming. It is raunchy though. This is the female equivalent of American Pie only instead of trying to lose their virginity after prom, she's trying to do every sexual thing there is to do before starting college. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to pretend all these 30-year old people are teenagers in high school, so the film feels like an SNL skit half of the time. It's charming, in a gross silly kind of way.

I was lucky enough to catch this clever mockumentary at the Fantasia Film Festival last month in Montreal. The Dirties utilizes real footage and real locations but still carries a strong narrative throughout. The story revolves around two high school students making a movie about getting revenge on the kids that bully them, but it starts to become more than just a movie for one of the boys. The Dirties is the best film about bullying I've seen. And the most effective film to tackle the touchy subject of school shootings. It's funny, disturbing, and an ultimately important film you should see yourself when it comes out this October. Watch the trailer.
