The Virginity Hit


An interesting concept for a film (referring to the filming PROCESS) would be better with a more unique plot. It's a Blair Witch-style film depicting no-name actors as themselves. The main character, Matt, is being filmed by his friends in his quest to lose his virginity with his girlfriend of 2 years. A couple days before they are planning on "losing it" Matt finds out that his girlfriend went to a party and cheated on him. He breaks up with her and sets out to lose it with some other girl.

The film has a respectively decent message about saving it for someone you love--they just forget to leave out that the person you love should also be the person you are married to (it woulda been a better message). The actors were believable for the most part, but I think that the filmmakers tried to set up Matt and his best friend, Zack to be like Evan and Seth (respectively) from Superbad. There are a couple of funny parts--neither of which are hysterical. It is more than decently written. The series of events are interesting and unique, however, the already-deteriorated message is clouded even more by several other questionable scenes.

Overall Grade: C
