Barely Legal review

Raunchy but bland sex-com

Reviews
By Ken McIntyre published 29 November 2011

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Riffing on the same premise as the recent (and much funnier) sex-com 18-Year-Old Virgin , a trio of college freshmen, all born on the same day, decide to lose their virginity on their 18th birthday.

The twist here is that instead of the expected gang of hopeless nerds, losers, and fatsos, all three are attractive girls (Melissa Johnston, Lisa Younger, Jeneta St Clair).

While it’s too blandly directed to have much impact, Barely Legal is at least fearless in its quest to out-raunch its competitors.

If John Waters was a hetero suburbanite raised on sitcoms, lads’ mags and heavy metal, he’d probably make this.
