...blonde side-ponytail styled Tom-Tom, constantly sporting bangle bracelets and acid wash denim, the self-titled “Six Chicks” have mastered both the complicated walk-while-chewing-gum combination and the snide remarks to Jenna and her road-less-traveled, slightly pudgy (read: loser) friend Matt. Jenna is, like, so not cool. Her only solace is to wish of a future circumscribed by her favorite magazine…a place and time when life is lived according to the motto “30, Flirty and Thriving...
...catch phrase, “Oh, gross.” She cries about the near failure of her magazine to her parents and, more importantly to her old chum Matt (Mark Ruffalo), the friend who conveniently inhabits a Greenwich Village apartment around the block. Matt is no longer the loser boy-next-door, but a tanned, buff, hot-but-doesn’t-know-it-in-that-aw-shucks-way photographer.

...utterly ridiculous plot, you don’t know whether to laugh or be disgusted by its complete absurdity. This isn’t a typical high-school comedy, though it certainly does a good job of camouflaging itself as one. Included are all the necessary ingredients: the loser who might look vaguely attractive if he got a haircut and an Urban Outfitters gift certificate, his nerdier, uglier friends and the gorgeous blond that saves them from an eternity in A/V club purgatory. But in this particular film, that life-saving blond is an ex-porn star...
