The Virginity Hit
Stars: Matt Bennett, Zack Pearlman, Krysta Rodriguez, Jacob Davich, Justin Kline, Nicole Weaver | Written and Directed by Huck Botko & Andrew Gurland
“Matt is the last of his buddies to lose his virginity. With his stepbrother recording his every humiliating move and posting it online, Matt gets revenge on his cheating girlfriend, breaks the law, gets a sexy cyber offer too-good-to-be-true, meets the porn star of his dreams and becomes an Internet sensation in the process.”
Losing your virginity. The greatest stereotype in teen movie history. The mockumentary. A blight on cinematic storytelling. The Virginity Hit? A combination of the two. It works. Just.
From writer/directors Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland, the writers behind mockumentary The Last Exorcism, The Virginity Hit is yet another complete work of fiction shot as a “true life” tale with a cast of relative unknowns – the only recognisable face being that of lead Matt Bennett,...

To some people, losing your virginity is a crucial part of your life. But to others, such as the main character Matt, it’s not quite the most important item on your agenda. The socially awkward lead character is Matt (Matt Bennett) who has dated his girlfriend Nicole (Nicole Weaver) for nearly two years and is finally up to seal the deal. Complications arise when Matt finds out that Nicole cheated on him. Filmed completely through a camera mostly by Matt’s best friend Zack (Zack Pearlman), The Virginity Hit is a weak comedic take on the traditional teen comedy.
Matt had a pretty troubling childhood considering the fact that his mom died when he was young from cancer and his dad is a drug addict. Luckily his best friend Zack adopts him into his family. Zack has a tendency to videotape everything that goes on his with friends (which...

Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield in Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go (top); Nicole Weaver, Matt Bennett in Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland's The Virginity Hit (bottom) Oliver Stone-Michael Douglas-Shia Labeouf's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Tops Friday Box Office Down two spots at no. 6, the M. Night Shyamalan presentation Devil brought in $2.1m, passing ahead of the Milla Jovovich-Wentworth Miller actioner Resident Evil: Afterlife, down four spots at no. 7 with $1.4m according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Next in line was the animated Alpha and Omega with $1.1m. Figures should go up on the weekend proper, but whether that'll be enough to place it ahead of Afterlife remains to be seen. Rounding out the top ten were Hayden Christensen-Chris Brown-Paul Walker's thriller Takers with $485k and Christopher Nolan-Leonardo DiCaprio's Inception with $380k.

The Virginity Hit
Directed by: Huck Botko, Andrew Gurland
Cast: Matt Bennett, Zach Pearlman, Jacob Davich, Justin Kline, Nicole Weaver
Running Time: 1 hr 35 min
Rating: R
Release Date: September 24, 2010
Plot: Four friends decide to chronicle when each loses their virginity. The documentary-style film kicks into high gear when Matt (Bennett) can’t lose his virginity to save his life.
Who’S It For? Chronically immature men of below average intelligence.
Expectations: Zilch.
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Matt Bennett as Matt: Bennett isn’t quirky and adorable like Michael Cera in Juno; He isn’t dark and cerebral like Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore; and he isn’t mouthwatering like Zac Efron in High School Musical. If you’re a young, unknown actor it’s important to fall into one of those three categories. No one wants to go on a journey with a totally nondescript teenager with no personality – it feels like purgatory.

Chicago – A great percentage of the population inevitably gets to the moment in their life when co-mingling becomes the next phase of interaction – the loss of virginity. Despite braggadocio to the contrary, for most people it is fraught with a bit of the undiscovered country. “The Virginity Hit” mines that territory with some cyber-age big brotherism thrown in.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Shot in an authentic looking documentary style, The Virginity Hit refers to a bong ritual that four close friends – all using there real names in the film – indulge in when they finally fulfill their first sexual conquest. Matt (Bennett) is the last one to achieve this end, and his adoptive brother Zack (Pearlman) decides to chronicle the big event for YouTube. Jacob (Davich) and Justin (Kline) go along for the “ride,” which involves Matt’s longtime girlfriend Nicole (Weaver). They have dated for two years and decide it is finally time.

The players: Directors: Huck Botko, Andrew Gurland, Writers: Huck Botko, Andrew Gurland, Cast: Matt Bennett, Zack Pearlman, Nicole Weaver
Facts of interest: Botko and Gurland also penned "The Last Exorcism."
The plot: Alice heads to Los Angeles, where she encounters some survivors and comes up with a plan to reach a safe haven.
Our thoughts: “The Virginity Hit” is by no means a smart teen comedy, but compared to many others out there, it’s got a certain freshness to it that makes it quite enjoyable to watch. I can’t say this film offered me a memorable experience, but I admit I caught myself spitting out the occasional laugh while watching this amusing video diary of a youngster struggling to loose his virginity.
