Miss March utilizes both lewd gags and random bursts of imbecilic humor - and this style of comedy will easily appeal to some and completely disgust others. If you’ve jumped aboard the recent gross-out comedy bandwagon, characterized by short bouts of real humor sandwiched between squalidly immoral excesses, the first feature film from the creators of The Whitest Kids You Know might just be your cup of tea, though the sum of its parts can’t maintain the quality of the popular sketch comedy show. On Prom night, minutes before he’s about to lose his virginity to longtime girlfriend Cindi (Raquel Alessi), Eugene (Cregger) falls down a flight of stairs and winds up in a coma. Four years pass and the bewildered youth awakens to find that all of his friends and family have abandoned him, except for his maniacal, sex-obsessed buddy Tucker (Moore). Together the mismatched duo embarks on a desperately deranged road trip to the Playboy Mansion to reunite the traumatized youth with Cindi, who is now Playmate of the Month. |

Vulgar comedy only surpasses its simplicities when the characters involved are actually relatable or worthy of our sympathy. The immature humor found throughout Miss March falls a little shorter than its true recycled nature due to the two main protagonists and their overly despicable presentations. Neither straight man Eugene nor funny man Tucker succeed in overcoming their annoyingly expected stereotyped traits and every attempt at redemption falls on eyes blinded by indifference. Perhaps what’s most impressive about Miss March is the amount of questionable activities the creators manage to squeeze into an R-rated film. It’s done in a comedic, unrealistic manner, but “pushing the envelope” isn’t a phrase extreme enough to accurately describe some of the taboo endeavors. Sadly, the gratuitous female nudity expected from a film shot at the Playboy Mansion and replicating a full-blown Hugh Hefner party is minimal, forcing the obnoxious and insufficient buffoonery to be relied upon much too heavily. - The Massie Twins

WKUK is really funny. It's probably easier to make short skits work whereas when you try to stretch it out over a feature length film it loses some of its momentum
