Miss March

Miss March

For a lot of men, visiting the Playboy mansion would be one of the things that they’d put on a ‘to do before I die’ list, but would never get around to.  Taking that concept and pairing it with the basic premise of Road Trip is Miss March, a uhm..comedy from the directors (and stars) of The Whitest Kids U Know.  And while the show that Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore have together is a sketch comedy that pushes boundaries, any attempts at the same in Miss March are just plain stupid.

Conceptually, Miss March follows Eugene Bell (Cregger), a high school student with a long time girlfriend Cindi  (Raquel Alessi).  Thing is, both are abstinent, which is the complete opposite of Eugene’s best friend Tucker (Moore), who likes to bang anything he sees.  (Yes, the atypical main character duo is forcefully pushed).  When Eugene finally decides to have sex with his girlfriend at prom, he falls down some stairs and goes into a coma for four years.  After he wakes up, Tucker finds out that Eugene’s girlfriend is a Playboy playmate (yes, Miss March), and decides that the two of them should drive across the country to the Playboy Mansion.

And yes, the boys of course get into some ‘trouble’ and meet people who later decide their fate, but it is beyond any point of predictability.  The jokes almost always feel awkward, and the acting from Cregger and Moore is awful (Moore especially).  The only saving grace of this film is Craig Robinson as Horsedick.mpeg, partly because of his ability to steal any scene he is in (in almost every movie he appears in), but also because the character gets enough time to breathe – which means lots of laughs.

But don’t be fooled – Miss March sucks.  If the Whitest Kids U Know want to venture into film again, I suggest they stick behind the camera and do a mockumentary about Horsedick.mpeg.  If they take that advice, I won’t sue them.

Additionally, I suggest checking out Horsedick.mpeg’s Myspace.

    I've read reviews that lash this film because of "ignorance" and "racism." It's a theme dealt with a lot on Whitest Kids to at least a level degree of consciousness, but how does it fair in the movie? I found it kind of odd the two were granted permission to even conceive this film, it seems doomed before even watching it.
