Pigs (2007)

Written by Karl DiPelino & Chris Ragonetti
Directed by Karl DiPelino

Yet another movie in the long line of the "teen sex" genre, and surprisingly, this is one of the less brainless ones. It's not exactly high art, but for the most part it has a convincing storyline, and some good up and coming actors. The story centers on a college womanizer, Miles, whose friend Cleaver convinces him he's banged some of the hardest letters in the alphabet, meaning girls with last names starting with letters like Z and Q.

So Cleaver takes bets on whether or not Miles can bang the whole alphabet before he graduates in the upcoming 2 months. So he goes about his quest, and somewhat predictably ends up falling in love with 'the X', who his nerdy roommate Ben has a crush on. So it turns into Ben trying to foil their relationship, while Miles is realizing he is really in love with 'the X' whose name is Gabrielle. Ben shows her the game they're playing, and the two come to question their relationship, while he's busy convincing her that he is in love with her.

It's nothing fresh or new, it's not particularly edgy, but it wasn't a bad way to kill 85 minutes when I was bored last night.
