Miss March aims for that cinematic sweet spot where gross-out raunch and romantic comedy overlap, appealing to boys and girls alike. Eugene (Zach Cregger), a sweet but anxious high-school student, is finally going to have sex with his longstanding girlfriend Cindi (Raquel Alessi). But before he closes the deal, he falls down a flight of stairs, hits his head, and goes into a four-year coma. When he revives, his best friend Tucker (Trevor Moore) informs Eugene that his former sweetheart is now a Playboy centerfold. That’s all it takes to inspire a road trip to the Playboy mansion, where Eugene hopes to woo Cindi back and Tucker hopes to score a playmate. Miss March features enough bare breasts, bodily function gags (and gag is the word), and general idiocy to satisfy the adolescent male half of the audience. What passes for romance, unfortunately, is a saccharine glaze over some uncomfortable sexual panic. When women aren’t serving as sex toys, they’re being stabbed with forks, tossed out of windows, or drinking urine. All the dorky-boys-will-be-dorky-boys humor and supposedly heartwarming sincerity can’t make up for that kind of hostility. Cregger and Moore (who also wrote and directed) are members of the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids You Know. –Bret Fetzer

Unfunny, decent Blu pic, not worth it overall,

By Steve Kuehl “SLV Video” (Ben Lomond, CA) -

This review is from: Miss March [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I really cannot find good reason to describe the plot in any detail, but sufficed to say two guys make a venture for the Playboy mansion in hopes of reacquainting with a lost love centerfold. In the interim we get treated to plenty of diarrhea, old sight gags, boring writing, unfunny jokes, and lengthy diatribe that would have been funny ten years ago. I can laugh at good fire service jokes, but the whole psychotic, sexless firemen gag running throughout the film was lame - and it would be nice if one film would actually show how the pumpers really work (sans the Con Air, Evolution, Miss March incorrectness)

The Blu pic is actually decent through most of the film, though delving into the B grade quality stock through several indoor sequences. Nothing to test the visuals as the cross country footage entails all of 30 seconds so that leaves the sound and supplements. The sound is uneventful and the supplements cater to the Whitest Kids U Know crowd.

The Viral Videos offering is a staged audition sequence that does not entertain much, but as stated the fans that have been renting the TV series are asking about this. The Down & Dirty uncensored (or edited option) allowed Craig Robinson (Pineapple Express, Zack & Miri, etc.) to have more of the only fun in the movie with his rapping video clip.

I have to admit Hugh Hefner has a natural screen presence and his 60 second sequence was actually appropriate - it appears he does not have to act, it just comes naturally, as does his explanation about how to treat women; skip the movie and just watch that one part.

The unrated is only 3:10 minutes longer and had nothing special to offer over the rated. I did verify they dubbed over the school speech in both versions, so I am curious what she was actually saying that they had to change it. Skipper.

I Guess I Just Have Bad Taste….,

By IAmARevenant “So do I, But Do You See Me Comp… (Earth A.D.) -

but I couldn’t help but laugh at the insane humor on display here. I suppose I’m just an immature teenager at heart sometimes (and I love The Whitest Kids U Know, well, at least the first 2 seasons).

I don’t know if I can recommend this film, because it’s obviously not for everyone……in fact I don’t think it’s for anyone really, except for me and my friends. So if any of you are reading this…..oh what the hell, you’re gonna buy it anyways.

Miss March Movie Review from The Massie Twins,

By thejoelmeister “www.GoneWithTheTwins.com” (www.GoneWithTheTwins.com) -

This review is from: Miss March [Theatrical Release] (Theatrical Release)

Miss March utilizes both lewd gags and random bursts of imbecilic humor, and this style of comedy will easily appeal to some and completely disgust others. If you’ve jumped aboard the recent gross-out comedy bandwagon, characterized by short bouts of real humor sandwiched between squalidly immoral excesses, the first feature film from the creators of The Whitest Kids You Know might just be your cup of tea, though the sum of its parts can’t maintain the quality of the popular sketch comedy show.

On Prom night, minutes before he’s about to lose his virginity to longtime girlfriend Cindi (Raquel Alessi), Eugene (Cregger) falls down a flight of stairs and winds up in a coma. Four years pass and the bewildered youth awakens to find that all of his friends and family have abandoned him, except for his maniacal, sex-obsessed buddy Tucker (Moore). Together the mismatched duo embarks on a desperately deranged road trip to the Playboy Mansion to reunite the traumatized youth with Cindi, who is now Playmate of the Month.

Vulgar comedy only surpasses its simplicities when the characters involved are actually relatable or worthy of our sympathy. The immature humor found throughout Miss March falls a little shorter than its true recycled nature due to the two main protagonists and their overly despicable presentations. Neither straight man Eugene nor funny man Tucker succeed in overcoming their annoyingly expected stereotyped traits and every attempt at redemption falls on eyes blinded by indifference.

Perhaps what’s most impressive about Miss March is the amount of questionable activities the creators manage to squeeze into an R-rated film. It’s done in a comedic, unrealistic manner, but “pushing the envelope” isn’t a phrase extreme enough to accurately describe some of the taboo endeavors. Sadly, the gratuitous female nudity expected from a film shot at the Playboy Mansion and replicating a full-blown Hugh Hefner party is minimal, forcing the obnoxious and insufficient buffoonery to be relied upon much too heavily.
