"Behaving Badly" is a dreadful sex comedy that gets worse and worse as its dopey story snowballs into relative incoherence.

Behaving Badly is like an accidental thesis film about the Virgin/Whore divide in pop culture.

This ruthlessly unfunny misfire should be quickly relegated to an IMDb trivia question after a brief theatrical bow.

Punch Drunk Critics

It's the kind of film where one can sense writer/director Tim Garrick throwing in every half-assed idea he can think of in hopes something works, but when nothing does turning up the raunch is his only fall-back plan.

Rated: 1/5

I watched the beginning, a little of the middle, and the very end. I could not stomach more than that. I can't believe so many good actresses accepted to be in such a movie. Aren't the boys in this movie supposed to be minors? Is it funny to see grown women sexually assaulting young men? Is it amusing to have an alcoholic mom and a Dad who had a threesome involving a teenage girl? This is from sick to sick individuals. I feel ashamed for those who participated in this piece of trash.

The sexual content was disturbing and slightly uncomfortable. Found it in the comedy section, but not once did I laugh. I never thought a movie could actually be unwatchable.

This raunchy coming of age movie finds itself falling through all the normal cliched plot points you would expect from a coming advantage movie the only exception is it does it to the raunchiest degree.

This movie was a thought, a pitched, a casted, a filmed, an edited and a released movie. I want you to think about that. The complete glamorization of grooming, complete disregard of sensible comedy at any form. Also the random use of the "N" word by Selena Gomez (which you can refuse to say when seeing a script)? How are you going perform the worst acting I've seen in a long time AND be problematic? Not to mention the adults (Elizabeth Banks, Jason Lee, Cary Elwes) in this movie condoning the lack of calling out the disturbing relationship between an adult woman and teenage boy in high school. I mean seriously, how does this happen? Who was the appeal of this movie? The fact that the two lead actors (Natt Wolfe and Gomez) even condoned this movie enough to be the faces of it and become a sad attempt of a "breakout" role tells me what I need to know. I just hope anyone who directed, produced, green-lit and wrote this movie is on some type of watchlist because what in the fresh hell compels you to do this.
