High school boy Eugene (Zach Cregger) practices abstinence but agrees to sleep with his girlfriend Cindi (Raquel Alessi) on prom night. But before he can seal the deal he falls down the stairs and goes into a coma for four years. When he wakes up, Cindi is the new Playboy Centerfold. So he and his idiot best friend Tucker (Trevor Moore) take a road trip to the Playboy Mansion to find her. These two morons react to everything with bug eyes and jaws agape, sometimes comically screaming and sometimes not. (These same half-wits actually wrote and directed the movie as well.) One is a self-righteous prig and the other makes those old "Strip-O-Rama" comedians look elegant and refined. How they're friends is one of the movie's greatest mysteries, aside from, you know, the one about how it ever got made. Overall, the movie operates mainly on a crippling fear of human sexuality, female sexuality, females in general, black people, lesbians and just about everything else. And don't forget the requisite pee and poo jokes, which are the only ones the so-called "filmmakers" can really relate to. The 2007 Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood appears as herself and makes a plea for animal rights (no kidding) and Hugh Hefner also appears as himself, probably much to his regret. Also available on Blu-Ray.
