The Jerk Theory (2011)

I honestly wasn't expecting much when I started watching this movie. It seemed like another cliché chick flick that I would cringe my way through, but, although it was very cliché, the acting was good, the characters were believable, and the way the movie portrayed high school was often spot on. There were also more than a few unique spots throughout the movie where I couldn't help but think "Wow, that's actually pretty clever". The movie did have many faults; Certain important plot points were skimmed over, it got incredibly cheesy at the end, etc., but these didn't distract from the pretty good writing and cliché-without-being-too-cliché vibe it gave out. If you're looking for something meaningful, this isn't for you. But, if you want a fun chick flick that pulls at your heartstrings a little bit, then go right ahead.

I loved this movie!!! It was a really good chick flick with some good humor and romance in it. I think it has some great values and I agree that gentlemen will always be picked over jerks. Also, I do believe that sex is worth waiting until marriage for and girls should maintain their values no matter how good the guy may become. The only thing I didn't like was degrading God by joking about Him in certain ways. I thought it was not cool. But based on being a romance movie... it's now one of my favorites(:

This movie was actually pretty good and a lot better then i thought. I thought it was gonna be some really cheesy movie but it was actually pretty good. The beginning actually started off pretty good but towards the middle I think it got a little cheesy. Josh Henderson's acting was also pretty good and the guys who played his friends were also pretty good and convincing but Jen Dewwan or whatever the girl who plays Molly's name is, her acting was not very convincing and I think it actually made Josh Henderson's acting look bad. She definitely needs some lessons cause her acting was CHEESY and lame it literally looked like she was acting in some parts or trying to hard. But the storyline was good and it was pretty funny but towards the middle- end it got kind of lame. Though not as bad as I thought it would be.

For some reason it has the feel of a first-time film maker got lucky. Add to this the plugging of Josh Henderson's debut album and it almost becomes the sort of film where a talented student with a camera just wants to show off. It's strange to compare a film with such known actors to the unknowns of the first high school musical, but you could easily imagine the lead characters as Troy and Gabriella.Getting past the amateur feel the film is likable if not very memorable. The spin of "boy meets girl, boy hates girl" has scope for originality but by halfway through this is just another regular chick flick. This in itself is not a bad thing and Henderson and Dewan play a convincing and believable performance.It's certainly worth watching but don't expect to be blown away.
