Barely Legal (2006)

Updated: Apr 20, 2022

My quick rating - 4,1/10. Seemed a suitable candidate for something to flip on while working. I honestly was expecting far worse than this ending up. Then again, the chances of living up to Animal House were slim to none. It still doesn't live up to being a National Lampoon production but then again, they have peddled out worse before. As soon as they went to STV the quality went down considerably. Anyways, we have 3 high school geeks who can't seem to lose their virginity so their plan is to make their own porno and somehow this will get the girls? Ok, so fundamentally a flawed plan similar to the movie but strangely it didn't disappoint too much. The premise did have some potential but the opportunities were mostly missed. They did have a pretty amusing little side story of the neighborhood "porn king" after the kids for muscling in on his territory going on but that was just there for a comedic distraction. The filmmakers still had to tell the obligatory story of the geek getting the dream girl, with slow-motion entrance and all, only to realize maybe she wasn't everything he dreamed for. I did think Sarah-Jane Potts did a decent job with her role as the stripper hired to star in the porn that ends up teaching the kids their lessons on growing up. Again, all the plotlines you are used to seeing were explored and similar characters acting them out. If it happens on cable, you could find a worse way to kill 90 minutes but it surely isn't worth going to find.
