My girlfriend and I saw this movie as part of a film festival in our city last week. We went in not knowing much more than a quick tag line, and weren't expecting much from a relatively low-budget Canadian production.
The storyline involves an 18-year-old student whose parents belong to a Satanic cult. After realizing that they want to sacrifice him because of his virgin blood, he sets out on a mission to lose his virginity by sunrise. Think "American Pie" meets "Superbad".
Having low expectations, I'm happy to say we were quite surprised with it. There were plenty of laughs and we were all chuckling a lot by the end. The two lead actors have a great rapport, probably due to them being good friends in real life, and all the others in supporting positions are just enough to keep things moving along at a good pace. A huge plus is that the movie never takes itself too seriously, and manages to poke fun at a lot of things at once.
We were also lucky enough to hear the director, producer, and one of the cast members (Annie Clark) talk about the creation of the film a bit. They were all quite personable and funny, which explains the tongue-in-cheek humour of the movie a lot.
All in all, it's absolutely worth the 90 minutes or so. It's no Shakespeare, but solid nonetheless!
