"American Pie" star Jason Biggs stars in this comedy about two buddies who begin to suspect their friend is being badgered into getting married and decide to reunite him with his high school sweetheart.
This film is the definition of guilty enjoyment. Hollywood produces these teen rom-coms as inexorably as Pinewood turned out Carry On films. The similarity is in more than just volume, as both styles have had mass appeal. Evil Woman is probably no exception, although obviously formulaic. Biggs, Black, and Zane play their stock-in-trade characters, but oddly it's the usually more sedate Zane who starts as as narrator and seems to be belligerently on screen in most scenes. That is no bad thing, and with the latter playing stupefied low-brow to Black's borderline closet case, they steal the comedy from under band camp loser Biggs, who is mercifully low key in this offering. His character is long-time friend to the other two until he lucks out with alluring career girl Amanda Peet. As he begins to fall under her spell and drift away from his erstwhile buddies, it is incumbent on them to rescue him, "with hilarious results". Having said that the film really does have its moments of laugh-out-loud humour, and is entertaining even on a second viewing (given a hiatus of at least 18 months). For an uncomplicated plot, and pranks with stuffed animals, retarded football mascots, former cheerleader nuns, circus freaks, and latent grid-iron coaches, this movie is unsurpassed!!
