The film is peppered with interesting true-life details, but these are overwhelmed by frantic comedic sequences.

Rated: 1.5/4

Looks ... like a musty remnant from the old Cinemax late night programming block.

The gross-out scenes and raunchy banter between the film's sex workers are funny, but its world is pretty small and unsurprising.

Jason Biggs plays a failing architect who becomes an Uber driver for a trio of Los Angeles hookers, one of whom is played by Ashley Tisdale in a salty performance intended to distance her from the sweet turns she did in the High School Musical films.

Rated: 2/5

Never manages to feel personal, and instead is reduced to coming off as just another raunchy comedy.

Rated: C-

"Amateur Night" isn't wild or funny. It would rather spray its characters with vaginal fluid than dream up a killer punchline.

So someone in a room somewhere went: "Who would be the most ridiculous pimp?" And because Donald Glover's wish for Michael Cera to play Shaft can't come true, they landed on Jason Biggs. "What's some of the worst stuff we can make him do?" Because, of course he can't be prepared to handle any of the situations he's put in, this is pretty much the movie. Overall Jason handles like a champ, and I only recognized Ashley Tisdale and Cedric Yarborough, other than him, but Janet Montgomery ruled her part. Anne Carter does a good needy pregnant wife, but its a small part among many small parts in this movie. The bottom line is that the movie is put together to be funny and empowering to women with just enough drama to put some legitimacy on the main storyline, but falls way short of winning awards while remaining delightful. Give this a watch, it's surprisingly less filthy than advertised. I had a good time and will again, can recommend.

Lame as can be. You would think with Jason Biggs it would be half good but with prostitutes like Ashley Tisdale pushing the hooters weight limits it's hardly something to watch. Zero plot and horrible acting by all. I don't recommend to an enemy. Can't imagine why the ratings are so low. Just why?

Crude and stupid. I watched it to see Jason Biggs, but I probably should have known what I was getting into. (First and only viewing - 2/18/2020)
