The first thing that Playboy has ever had to be ashamed about

I've seen some bad films, you name it, some of the worst: Bio-Dome, Gigli, 10,000 BC, The Love Guru, Kazaam, etc. But Miss March makes my new top 10 of the worst. I cannot believe this, I saw the trailer for Miss March when it was being released in the theater and thought it actually looked very funny. It's actually got a very clever story in the sense where it could have been a great sex comedy. But everything about this film misfired and I ended up watching total trash. Let's start with the characters, Tucker is very possibly one of cinema's most obnoxious characters. I'm not talking like Stiffler from American Pie obnoxious where it actually gets funny again, I mean he's just terrible. He sexually harasses women and somehow has a girlfriend in the film who has to be the most stupid woman on Earth to think that any part of him is attractive. He drags his decent best friend down the drain with him and causes nothing but trouble. Basically a mentally deficient sea turtle with 1 leg has more life goals than Tucker did. Craig Robinson who is actually a funny actor falls flat on his face doing this stupid movie. The only likable character is our lead played by Zach Cregger, and he is made to look like a dork.

Eugene and Tucker are 18 years old high school students and best friends, about to graduate. Tucker continually checks out girls and makes perverted remarks while Eugene is still disgusted and tells Tucker to cut it out as he now has a girlfriend and feels uncomfortable checking out other girls. Eugene climbs up a tree and sits outside his girlfriend Cindi's window and proclaims his love for her. Cindi asks if they are finally going to have sex but Eugene firmly states no. Eugene then realizes his mistake and calls her and promises her that they will have sex at the party after the prom. After the prom, the group all heads over to the party. Cindi tells Eugene that she will meet Eugene upstairs in five minutes. Tucker decides to solve Eugene's nervousness by getting him totally drunk. Eugene gets really drunk and ends up falling down the stairs. Eugene wakes up in a hospital and is confused so Tucker explains. When Eugene fell down the stairs, he blacked out and fell into a coma for four years. Curious where Cindi is, Tucker discovers that she's Miss March in Playboy. Wanting to see her again, Tucker gets into some trouble and breaks Eugene out of the hospital and goes to find Miss March for an explanation on where she's been since his coma.

Miss March is one of the most vile films I have ever seen, it's just utter trash. I had high hopes because when I started watching the movie I got a couple of chuckles, but as soon as Tucker woke Eugene out of his coma with a bat, I think that was more of a metaphor for what the director wanted to do to his audience, I lost all respect for this movie. Also Hugh Hefner's performance was possibly the most unbelievable thing in the world as if we are supposed to believe that he would sit with a crazy pervert like Tucker and share his "touching" story of love. Love advice from Hugh Hefner is like getting a heart transplant by Stevie Wonder, you love the guy but wouldn't exactly want him to be performing the surgery. If you think this movie is honestly funny, what medication are you taking and could I have some too? The acting is awful, the direction is flimsy, the characters were just horrible people. If they had toned Tucker down a bit with his annoying flaws and kept the movie's focus more on Eugene, this movie would have been much better. I'm sorry that I wasted my time with it, it was just bad, I feel like I'm wasting my time with this review as I want to forget this film, but I do need to warn the public to stay away from Miss March.
