Good movie but grossly overrated

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It feels like some of the negative reviewers are trying to compare this movie to the multi-million dollar productions coming out of Hollywood. If that's what you're into, this movie may not be for you. I personally enjoy seeing what independent low/no budget producers can bring to the screen.Those who say it doesn't have a plot, need to learn what a plot is, it's a bit weak, but no more so that porky's or some other movie of that ilk.I think Jeff has fallen pray to his own ability to create a really strong trailer, and people are picking it up expecting something it's not.All that said, if you're looking for something with a little jiggle and some laughs though-out, you might enjoy this movie. The acting is above what I usually see in a low budget production, and the camera/sound work is way above what I would have expected. The weak points are that the plot is thin, though I don't think it's supposed to be otherwise. And the editing is a little choppy. A 200k Hollywood editor could have made a big difference there's lots for someone like that to work with in here. But that again is not what this is.My rating here is made comparing it to other low budget independents, not Hollywood. If I used those standards, no TV show could measure up either. I love oranges but once in a while I like to have an apple ;)

Anyone who gives this movie more than a one star rating is a paid shrill for the makers of the movie. I went to school with Venables, the writer and actor of this movie... I should be rooting for him, but this movie is absolutely horrible.No plot, terrible acting, predictable script... wouldn't make it as a B-movie being shown on the TV of a B-movie.I actually recall 4th grade plays or church plays being better than this.Sorry Jeff...congrats on getting a movie out into the world from our hometown...but this one is for the trash bin.

The low rating of this movie is because it has an uncomfortable approach to a theme and it's easy to hate (Like Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2). But wait there is more. Pretty much of the film is bad: Acting, story, characters, script and sound mix. But photography and scene illumination are the worst. You can't see the girl's faces very well sometimes but hey, you can see her boobs very close! I don't know what's the point of the romantic sub-story if girls will hate this movie after 10 minutes. It's more close to a porn film.I never stop thinking if the movie was used by movie makers as an excuse to touch beautiful girls.I only see this for the name of Owen Wilson in the poster. But if you see the credits he doesn't appear. I don't think it qualifies as a cameo either. I hope he and the other actors sue this guys for using his name and image.Recommendations: Waste you're time seeing some grass grow. It's more entertaining.

As a movie fan, I like to keep track with all the new movie releases, but 20 minutes into this "thing", I already thrown away the DVD and deleted every memory of ever watching "Chick Magnet". If you consider yourself to be person of exquisite taste in what regards movies, you should definitely skip this one, as it is a complete waste of time. Now I desperately want 20 minutes of my life back. The plot is so simple, so stupid, so shallow and so full of low quality acting that it's not worth watching. If you enjoyed this motion picture, I am really sorry for you. Overall, the movie is an absolute 0, but IMDb forces me to rate it a 1.
