OK, starting off we all knew that this wasn't going to be a masterpiece. In general I do "sympathise" / laugh with Pauley Shore, however this " try-to -be-funny-remake-of-12-angry-men" just left me disturbed.

Not only do they totally disregard the entire judicial system on how they choose jury, as if Pauley can choose the trial he wishes to be on... yeah whatever... but during the process we are to believe that the entire governmental state is deceived by a guy bribing a hotel to get a better room. In any case, it's possible I took this more to heart due to the fact that my Dad was a lawyer.... but I added an extra star due to the dog.

OK you see the title, you read the synopsis and you know exactly what you're getting into... They aren't lying to you, it really is a movie about a virgin teaching sex ed. It's not that funny, it is quite crass... but to be honest I did had a few "guffaw" type of chuckles so I couldn't go lower than a 4... the story being so typical, the acting a bit too much, the scenes are obnoxiously trying to make you feel uncomfortable... I wish I could give it a 1, but no... some parts, goodness help me I don't know why, were funny.

Take it as it is... a really bad teen movie but with some really funny scenes (but not THAT many...)

OK ... this movie is so bad... yet...I can't say I completely despised it... there are some moments where there's a really good helicopter scene, gotta admit I was quite disappointed there weren't MORE helicopter scenes, considering that's Ray's (dwayne)job.... And I do love Dwayne, he's just so lovable....So that sums up my 4 rating...

Now for why I think it's a 1.... If you are looking for a good disaster movie, on the cheesy side, I would recommend something else. The only character whom I thought actually had soul in this wasn't any the leading roles, but actually the young sidekick brother Ollie who, for me, actually had good lines and showed a different personality than what you would expect. Every other character in the movie was so 1 dimensional that the cheesy lines didn't even seem to be cheesy... just bad writing. Sure the falling buildings were well done... but with that kind of cash for a movie, who can't do crazy awesome dramatic explosions and effects and such. I find it a shame that Hollywood truly thinks that no original plot (I mean come on... California breaking off has been done so many times...), mediocre acting and 2 cute women in 2 different age groups is enough for a good movie... Sorry did forget to add the Rock, the good-guy who's life is not great but hey, he can still smile and be an awesome dad...then go save the world... err California.

But oh yeah, hey, he didn't save anybody except his family!!!! What a dou***bag. His job is to save lives in a helicopter, the first scene we see him putting his life on the line to save a kid, so we know he's the bada** guy you want to save you. Then the rest of the movie you see him ignoring everyone so he can save 2 people and wasting goodness knows how many resources to do it. I'm just glad he saved Ollie too... the only one who should have survived! :)

OK... no real spoilers here except... If you actually like the REAL Mad Max movies, you will find nothing of any value with this waste of celluloid... well this movie was so bad it was all probably recorded on some "cheap" digital crap anyways.

In the real Mad Max movies, there is a fight for freedom, gas, food, and basic survival. In this pathetic try of a re-make, there is no real plot, no real characters, no explanation of anything, no conversations that actually make you want to like or understand any of the characters and the battles are so long and boring that you actually HOPE you have to go to the bathroom so you can miss some of the movie... I actually started my IMDb account just so I could rant on how bad this was...
