"nip/tuck"

The raunchy, pulpy series returns with the stuff we
love: sex, violence, and graphic surgery. OK, I admit I don't
really like #2 and #3, but #1 makes up for it.
The blonde is Alison
McAtee, the brunette Cyia Batten.
I don't know much about Alison, but Cyia has been
around for years. Way back in 2001 we saw her in an episode of Red Shoe
Diaries, then about a year ago we saw her in the hot tub with Tom Hanks in
Charlie Wilson's War.
The 18 Year Old Virgin
2009
High school has just ended. It's the night after the last day of senior
year, and that calls for a big party. Katie, the class brainiac, has decided
to lose her virginity at last, to the boy she has been dreaming of since 6th
grade. She just goes up to him and asks outright, but he says "no." He says
that he likes her and fancies her, but he recently had a traumatic experience
with a virgin, and he just can't handle any more drama.
This seems like the end of the world to her, because he's her "soul mate,"
and he's leaving the next day to spend the entire summer with his dad. She is
crushed until her fun-loving friend points out that the dream need not die.
The problem has a simple solution. The party has just begun, so Mr. Soul Mate
will be there for several more hours. All Katie has to do is lose her
virginity to someone else first, then hop in the sack with the dream guy.
Surely somebody at the party will volunteer to help her out! Maybe the
plot-obligatory "best friend" kid? Maybe the well-hung expert in tantric sex?
Maybe the sex addict and his two love-muffins? How about the masochistic
exchange student?
She then goes through a chaotic series of misadventures, until ...
Well, I won't spoil the ending for you, because it's kind of cute. Anyway,
if you have ever seen a film with a similar set-up, you'll quickly guess how
it will turn out. The predictability of the resolution doesn't matter, because
this is a highly entertaining genre film. Is it a great movie? Well, it won't
get any Oscar nominations, if that's what "great" encompasses, but it is great
in the sense that it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
There are basically only three things you need from a raunchy
youthploitation comedy.
1. It needs to be raunchy.
Check. It is filled with non-stop sex and nudity, a lot of it quite kinky,
and is not coy about portraying the action. It's not a sex film, but it stops
just short.
2. It needs to be funny.
Check. There are several witty lines of dialogue, and all of Katie's sexual
misadventures are funny set pieces which range from an attempt to shave
herself to her assorted failures at cherry-popping. The sex scenes are not
only kinky and sexy, but they are genuinely funny!
3. The acting needs to be good enough so that it does not break the fourth
wall.
And check. The kids are unknown, but they are real actors. The leads do a
good job with their characters, and some of the background players have
excellent comic timing.
A couple of the ideas have been lifted from the American Pie films. For
example, Katie ends up in a darkened room giving a blow job to an old man in a
coma, thus curing him, which is pretty similar to what happened to Stifler and
the granny in American Wedding. Other scenes are similar to ones we have seen
elsewhere, but nothing is a direct rip-off, just a variation on some familiar
theme. After all, movies have been around a long time, and it's difficult to
create anything totally original.
One unique element of this film, as opposed to most raunchy "coming of age"
stories, is that the script was written by a woman and directed by another
woman. It also tells the story from the point of view of the female virgin and
her best female friend. That is a great combination. The women bring a fresh
point of view to the story, and can portray raunchy acts unabashedly without
losing the basic humanity of the sex and the fundamental warmth of the story.
Damn! I can't believe I'm writing this about a micro-budget,
straight-to-DVD exploitation film that nobody has ever heard of, but I
thoroughly enjoyed this, found it sexy, and even laughed out loud a few times.
I not only recommend this one, but I have been persuaded that more women
should make raunchy movies!
Nudity: a lot, and in good light as well! (I was going to make captures,
but ran out of time. Maybe some of you guys would like to give 'er a try.)
Olivia Alaina May, the virgin, exposed everything sooner or later, but her frontal scene required
her to wear a merkin as part of the comedic premise.
Lauren Walsh, the
virgin's best friend, gave up the ol' chest.
There are three naked women in this clip. One is Olivia Alaina May again,
this time showing very little. This time she's joined by two party girls:
Crystal Baker, and another I can't identify. The two party girls pretty much
flash it all, including a shaved frontal from one of them.
