With Lay not feeling well the past several weeks, we rented a bunch of movies. This was one he wanted to watch. I wasn’t so sure about it, but really liked it after watching.
It has the element of transporting you back to your high school days that the original American Pie had. Michael Cera does great as the awkward teenage kid, but it is Jonah Hill who absolutely rules this movie! He had me laughing from the beginning to the end. His “silly fat-kid” character is the only one in the history of movies that shows what it truly feels like to be the funny fat kid in high school. I should know, I was one! Gosh, I just can’t believe how well he portrayed the unmitigated hell that was P.E.! Emma Stone and Martha Maclsaac also give very realistic depictions of teenage girls. None of that fake, over the top nonsense. The most over-the-top character was “McLovin” himself, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who did a great job of having us laugh with him as much as we did at him.
