June 30- July 6 Puke Week!: Throwing up isn’t very funny, but making your internet friends watch a puke movie is!
Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza) is the valedictorian of her class but everyone knows she’s a virgin. Someone yells it out during her commencement speech. Her friends Wendy (Sarah Steele) and Fiona (Alia Shawkat) take her to a party where she meets and falls for college boy Rusty Waters (Scott Porter), even though her friend Cameron Mitchell (Johnny Simmons) has been in love with her for years. She almost sleeps with Rusty by accident and he leaves, which she attributes to the fact that she’s a virgin. As she usually makes lists, she makes one of all the sexual things that she wants to do to prepare to give her virginity to Rusty.
Brandy is nothing like her sister Amber (Richard Bilson) or mother Jean (Connie Britton). Instead, she’s continually correcting people on grammar. What follows is — point to the sign — a hijinks ensue movie, one where Brandy awkwardly learns how to have sex, making out with Cameron, Duffy (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and Derrick (Donald Glover), all before she has awkward sex with Rusty which, you guessed it, isn’t that great. And her parents are in the car next door at the very same makeout point.
Director and writer Maggie Carey was married to Bill Hader, who plays the lifeguard manager in this. She’s also directed episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, A.P. Bio, Barry, The Last Man on Earth and plenty more. She based a lot of the areas in this movie on her real hometown of Boise, Idaho, including the pool and Big Bun.
I love that Andy Samberg shows up in this as a rock star, plus Adam Pally, Laura Lapkus and Jack McBrayer have fun cameos.
As for the puking, well, it’s bright green alcohol tossed up the next day. My wife and her best friend did that once with one of those alcohols that has glitter in it, Hypnotiq. The toilet bowl was shining.
Anyways, this is way sweeter than you’d expect for a movie that ends with a father walking in on anal sex, the one position that makes his daughter finally orgasm.
