Say It Isn't So (2001)
The Immature Movie: Godawful sex farce starring Chris Klein and Heather Graham. There’s a reason “teen incest comedy” isn’t a well-known Hollywood genre…
Crudest Moment: Every appearance by the obligatory disabled character, who swears vigorously through a computerized voice-box. Jesus…
Mental Age: Even the most half-witted of viewers would find little to enjoy here. One to forget for all concerned.
Porky's (1982)
The Immature Movie: The teen sex comedy that paved the way for a thousand imitators remains the most successful Canadian film ever made. Not bad for a film about a bunch of horny kids.
Crudest Moment: An irate gym teacher violently yanking on one luckless lad’s penis. Ouch…
Mental Age: We could sniffily label it as dumb, teenage fodder but for the fact that “has anyone seen Mike Hunt?” cracks us up even now…
Dumb & Dumber (1994)
The Immature Movie: Peter Farrelly's debut is the seminal blokes-titting-around movie, and a paean to adolescent oafishness. It’s a trickier thing to pull off than it might look, as Dumb & Dumberer recently proved.
Crudest Moment: Three words: extra-strong laxatives.
Mental Age: The sort of extreme toilet humour that can be enjoyed by young and old alike! Watch with the grandparents if you fancy livening things up next Christmas…
Fat Slags (2004)
The Immature Movie: Two of Viz ’s most succesful characters get their own movie, with disastrous results. Bizarrely, both Jerry O’Connell and Dolph Lundgren tag along for the ride…
Crudest Moment: Geri Halliwell cramming a large piece of chocolate cake into her gaping maw is something that no paying punter should ever be subjected to.
Mental Age: Imagine a six-year-old getting hold of Viz , misunderstanding all of the humour, but laughing at the funny-looking women. That’s the level we’re working at here.
Step Brothers (2008)
The Immature Movie: Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are given free reign to play up to their gurning, man-child personas in Adam McKay’s fraternal farce. Not subtle, but fairly amusing nonetheless.
Crudest Moment: Will Ferrell can make a lot of things funny, but licking dog shit is not one of them.
Mental Age: The stars come off like a pair of feuding ten year-olds. Intentionally of course, but still…
The Hangover (2009)
The Immature Movie: One of the funniest comedies of the last few years garners most of its laughs by riffing on the male propensity to regress to childish buffoonery when under the influence. We’ve all been there…well not quite there, but close!
Crudest Moment: Ken Jeong steals the show with the following: “Suck on these little Chinese nuts! How that sound? (mimics beating himself off) So long gay-boys!”
Mental Age: Every male, from 15 to 105 could identify with this film on one level or another…
The Hot Chick (2002)
The Immature Movie: Rob Schneider minces his way through this body-swap caper, ticking off his usual roll-call of comedy stylings. Fat jokes…check. Gay jokes…check. Race jokes…check.
Crudest Moment: When Rob loudly shrieks about his period, much to the consternation of an onlooking old dear.
Mental Age: Somewhere in the early teens, where the differences between girls and boys seem at their most hilarious.
Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps (2000)
The Immature Movie: Having made a decent fist of the first movie, Eddie Murphy decides that playing two characters isn’t enough, deciding to add a further four to his arsenal. Can you guess how many of them are funny?
Crudest Moment: The dinner-table farting scene. To think that this is the man who came up with Delirious …
Mental Age: 9-11. We remember those halcyon days when farting passed for the height of wit!
American Pie: The Wedding (2003)
The Immature Movie: A third helping of high-school gross-out antics, with the soft centre of the earlier entries replaced by a series of increasingly disgusting set-pieces., Meanwhile, Stifler appears to have transformed from pain-in-the-ass jock to full-on retard. Odd.
Crudest Moment: Stifler eats a dog turd. This is a low…
Mental Age: The first two films appealed to audiences young an old with their blend of humour and heart. This one is going straight for the ADD-teens…
Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)
The Immature Movie: Imagine Bill And Ted without the humour. You’ve just imagined Dude, Where’s My Car? Ashton Kutcher should have called it quits right here…
Crudest Moment: A set of visiting aliens give the boys some magic jewellery that makes girls’ boobs bigger. Sigh.
Mental Age: 14. Girls…hur-hur. Boobs…hur-hur. You get the picture.
