Grating and awkward
17 September 2022
Charles Highway is a college student that is about to attend Oxford University. He is also a computer nerd and uses his skills for seduction and discover everything on the girls in which he is interested. The latest is beautiful Rachel Noyce, and after some time he becomes friends with her. Rachel has a boyfriend tho, Deforest (James Spader) who mistreats her, but with some help Charles will manage to make Rachel leave Deforest. Charles and Rachel become dates, but just as he thought to have found the perfect girl he discovers she has personality flaws and bad habits just like all the others with which he tried or missed. They call it quits, but after a while they spend a day together in a museum and during a party she just kisses him on the cheek, and he reminisces about the William Blake quote of eternal love.

In the first half I was liking this, but as it progressed it became bad and never went back. Dexter Fletcher's performance was grating and it looks like the movie was made just for him to the point that you simply become annoyed, and I just didn't cared about his being a total loser after a while. The others don't have nothing better to do than stand around and being used for the occasional line. Everything else is pretty forgettable.

If you like to watch losers that love to break the fourth wall and see them lose, then this movie is perfect for you. Obviously, some like it, but I can't see any reason why, and don't even care.
