My New Favorite Bad Movie 

Ho t dobg

if i’m being honest if i saw a girl riding a skateboard in a dress and no shoes i’d probably fall in love with her too

Actors : *are slightly chubby/fat* Movie directors : looks like a personality trait to me

"What's it like being a swimsuit model?" "Um, cold." Actually laughed out loud at this.

That little speech to the girl who wouldn't let them in without tickets was incredibly mean spirited. Who on earth come up with this as a supposedly heartwarming moment?

Not only is “fat girl” given the unfortunate name of YANCY she’s not even on the poster for the movie

Being chubby was not Yancy's only personality trait. She also went overboard with a tanning lotion at some point and was orange for awhile.

Fun fact: Alexa PenaVega who plays the lead actually revealed that she hated working on the film because the other actresses were very mean off-screen and that she didn’t get along with any of them. Now when you think the movie couldn’t get any worse, the working environment was just as horrible.

Just so everybody knows, when this was filmed (2004) the main protagonist, julie, was 16 and the main love interest, steve, was 22. So he was 6 years older then her... also yancy, the fat girl, was also 16 and the guy who liked her was also 22.... also also, staci (the main antagonist) was also 16 and her boyfriend was 29....... great casting choices

I'm just amazed that Evan Peters has been playing high-school age guys for 15 years

julie owning the four wigs that match her friends' hair gives me dwight schrute vibes

Ok but I wanna know how the actress who played Yancey felt about being cast as the fat character, where that’s her only character trait and she’s constantly reminded of it and is the butt of every fat joke… poor girl Edit: I hate edits but so many of you seem to think child actors are given a lot of choice? That they make their own decisions? It’s up to the parents and usually they won’t let their kids decline a role. It’s about money for the parents

crazy how evan went from this to jeffery dahmer… someone needs to hire him for another lighthearted role like this.. this dudes been playing terrifying characters for years.

"yeah lets make a movie about middle schoolers... also they all drive."

“What’s it like being a swimsuit model?” “Cold” “Heh huh ahyuh? Huh huh.”

Writers: “So how many age gaps do you want?” Director: “Yes.”

15:55 drew mentioned that the actor who played steve was 22, but he didn’t mention the actress’s age, so i looked her up, and she’s _six years younger than him._ they had a 16 year old and a 22 year old kiss, and then they put it in a kids movie like it’s fine

Fun fact: I watched this movie when I was home on a sick day and for the longest time I thought it was Mean Girls.

As a fat person, I can confirm that this is my only personality trait and I am only happy when I'm in a relationship.

I’m sorry but “Brownies are a very important food group” was actually a super cute line to me i dont know why

The fact that Evan Peters would go on to play Jeffery Dahmer somehow makes his character in this film make more sense.

That’s horrible advice for Yancey. If you date a guy who eats brownies, there will never be any left for me. I mean her.

Are we not gonna talk about how Yancey was a main character along with the other 3 best friends (maybe even more so) yet she didn't make it on the cover of the dvd??? YIKES???

She (or her stunt double) really did a barefoot kickflip in a dress though, I think that deserves some appreciation

“So you’ll just date guys that like brownies.” Or you could date a guy who doesn’t like brownies because it means more brownies for you. Like having a friend who eats the pickles off of your sandwiches for you.

I love that cliche in movies where when school runs out, everyone throws their papers in the hallways in excitement, but if that happened in reality, the school would go over the intercom and tell everyone that nobody is leaving until all the papers are cleaned up.

The main actress was 16 kissing a 22 year old actor and that's really horrifying

I love that the premise of what is supposed to be the heartwarming inspiring speech boils down to "hey so here's a comprehensive list of reasons you're a dork and I'm gonna insult you to your face so you can help me not become you k thanks"

Fun fact: In the prom scene, the "Green Day lookalike band" is an actual band called Allister. Allister's drummer is Mike Leverence, who is the cousin of my mother. This movie has always been a family favorite, just because you can see our cousin in it (blurrily in the background for the most part, but whatever). You can actually get a sort of good look at him for a split second at 14:15. But (even though this movie sucks) Allister is actually a pretty good band. You guys should check 'em out. Another fun fact: Firefly fans look back at the ticket lady at 12:34. Look familiar? It's River!

Imagine being a single woman at a bar who sees a guy hanging out with a bunch of dressed up minors and thinking "he's the one".

Holy crap the teacher scene is so creepy, it’s legit a bunch of children trying to increase their teacher’s sex appeal.

That edit of them crashing the car into another car was infinitely funnier than any joke this movie produced itself

as a lesbian whose only personality trait _isn't_ skating... if a girl in a cute dress skateboards past me, her hair streaming behind her, completely confident in herself and not even looking twice at me and my car... i would also fall in love

I’m not the only one that thinks it’s creepy that the makeover montage features them giving a 14 year old a plunging neckline so she can go meet an adult man at a bar right?

imagine how funny american horror story would be if evan peters talked like that

7:53 Why is this even phrased like only "fat" people would choose to eat a brownie? Like, of course I'm going to pick a brownie. These aren't comparable things.

That dude met a 14 year old online, invited her to a bar, bought her a cocktail and somehow is the sympathetic character of the movie

I never realized the love interest was a senior and she wasn’t even officially in high school yet.. yikes..

I simply can not stop seeing Steve Carrell movies as just Michael Scott in a new wacky situation.

Usually high schoolers are adults in movies but this one has literal 14 year olds being played by people over 20

i absolutely REFUSSEEE to believe that Drew edited that scene of them hitting that car-😭😭😭 it just looked SO. REAL.

Dude...why are there SO MANY a-list celebrities in this random early 2000s teen movie I’ve never seen or heard of

This movie is pretty realistic, highschool seniors being creeps and dating freshman because the freshman are young and easy to manipulate

14:27 I love how films always think Polaroid photos develop instantly.

why do kids in movies always live in a bedroom with easy roof access

I think the "no glasses=prettier" trope was invented by someone with glasses, we literally can't fully see ourselves in the mirror without them so we kind of invented that lie to feel better

can we talk about how she was painting her toenails with whiteout i feel like that's integral to the plot

this film was an obsession for me for a brief period of life. not because i wanted a super cool sleepover or whatever (this film is very american and im british so none of the themes carried over T-T) but i had a massive crush on Yancy

"you got bri larson, who's just kinda.. there" Good to know she is consistent

i would’ve loved if the girl at the ticket booth was like “you’re right... here take my place so i can have fun at the dance” lmfao

I love how this video is marketed to be about about Steve Carell yet Drew literally mentions him once

12:27 I totally forgot Steve Carell was in this

Every time I come back to watch this video I think about how winning their scavenger hunt automatically got them the fountain spot, when I guarantee they’d still lose the spot to some senior students. They’re not gonna give you their favorite spot just because your group had a bet going

the edited car accident scene had me dead ngl, just like those girls would’ve been

The rules of the movie sleepover Glasses = disgusting 🤢 Neat hair = disgusting 🤢 Spying on someone in the shower = of course 👍 Flirt with teacher = of course 👍 Being fat = your only personality 👍

Dang, it stinks that in a kids' movie the girl has to show more skin to feel like she looks decent.

I remember watching this movie with a friend at a sleepover when I was about 10, I thought it was a bad dream because I never saw it advertised again 😂

The fact that Drew was once a child is deeply unsettling to me

My absolute least favorite trope in media is fat/ugly character can only date equally fat/ugly character, so pretty skinny character doesn't feel threatened. Like, they never romanticize ugly character's love interest in the same way they would for main character. It always made me feel so deeply insecure as a kid.

That blonde girl Hannah, who’s one of the main characters in this film, is Mika Boorem. I recognize her from House, M.D., specifically the episode “Insensitive,” she played a child patient with CIPA, a nervological disorder that prevents you from feeling pain or temperature. Just thought I’d mention it.

What an oddly casted movie. Steve Carrell, Summer Glau, Sara Paxton, Jane Lynch, Even Peters, and Alexa PenaVega? It’s such an interesting mix of confusing choices.

There's so many things wrong with this movie. The director is 100% a creep

I met Evan Peters once a few years ago and I asked him about this movie and he was actually super hyped because he thought nobody remembered it and was shocked I wasn't talking about X-men or AHS.

To be honest, when school gets out at a highschool most kids talk to their favorite teacher or sit around with friends so id say thats accurate

I can see 14 yr old Drew Goodwin thinking this is the best movie known to man because of all the babes.

Imagine getting a young girl to call herself fat on film, so depressibg (Edit: Fat isnt a bad thing, it's just the use of it in the movie)

"Do you like brownies" is causing me intense physical pain.

i think they had an adult do the close up shots of them ripping the dress at 7:08, it's funny to imagine being a hand-double

Why did the teacher show up in his teacher outfit to a club💀

The age gap between basically every relationship in this movie makes me very uncomftorable

I want someone to remake this entire movie but when the girl is skating the stunt double is like a 6’3” 40 year old dude stuffed into the same outfit

Let’s talk about how even peters is in this movie the same guy who plays Jeff dahmer on the dahmer series

drew didn't even give the time of day to an entire scene where the song "freeze frame" plays because the girls had to sneak into a mall display and pretended to be mannequins every time steve carrell was looking. it went on much longer than it should have.

I'm severely disappointed at the notable lack of Steve Carell in this video

Ive never seen a movie before. Thanks drew.

To be fair, if I saw a girl skateboard down the street barefoot, in that dress, and obviously in a hurry, I would also fall in love immediately.

6:15 spy kids 5 is HAPPENING DREW

Why did the male love interests look 40 and the girls look like their characters age. It’s creepy. (Also the teacher looked way hotter with the glasses)

What are the age gaps? Because even the chubby guy looks like he's at least 18 while the girl looks and sounds like she's 13.

kind of weird how they made a 15 year old and a 22 year old kiss at the end of the movie

i always felt bad for the teacher dude he seems like a wholesome guy

i was fat in the 00’s and... that was the worst time to be fat......

are we just going to ignore the fact that evan peter’s character may have brain damage? she said he has TWO pictures of himself in a coma and the way he talks and his facial expressions...i’m no doctor but...

8:46 Where have I seen that exact same laugh

Tbh, "would you rather eat celery or a brownie? Well youll date guys who like brownies." Is super clunky, but i actually think theres something there lmao

I can't get over how they call the teacher a nerd for reading the books on the summer reading list. y'know, the list of books that he teaches every year. as a key part of the curriculum

They sexualied these girls WAY too much. And why is this dude in love with this child

I was forced to watch sleepover since my roommate little sister he was babysitting wanted to see that. It was so bad I can remember. I usually forget movies.

Hey Drew, your best ever joke is at 5:54. Thanks for that one.

So what you’re saying is they had real life 22-yr-old kiss a real life 16-yr-old. Hollywood is such a fun and zany place

The worst thing about this movie? The knowledge that the main actress, the girl from spy kids, sells pyramid scheme essential oils to her fans on Instagram.

Can we just talk about the fact that she was painting her nails with Bic Wite Out rather than actual nail polish 😂

Okay, but are we gonna ignore 14:17... that "Greenday lookalike" guitarist is LITERALLY AIR GUITARING THE GUITAR IN HIS HANDS I'm...huh?????

Are we just going to ignore how realistic the car crash looked

How DARE you not include the Old Navy freeze frame scene where they have to pretend to be mannequins to avoid Steve Carell

Now that Evan Peters is the favorite actor in America due to his portrayal of the serial killer from Milwaukee, Jeff D.

I looked this up for no reason, and it turns out Ticket Girl is the same actress who played River in Firefly. So she could very well have busted out some superpower assassin moves on Julie there

The fact that they had her get flirted with by her teacher, watch some guy get naked in secret, and had her make out with a guy who is 6 years older than her is just gross

Thought this was gonna be a deepfake of The Office characters over Paul Blart Mall Cop but alright

As a glasses wearer I would like to confirm that everyone who wears glasses is a hideous monster and everyone who wears sunglasses is just some stranger who is also invisible
