I hold an enormous bias for this movie because I adore the comedy troupe the two main stars hail from. I was first introduced to The Whitest Kids U’ Know when it debuted on Fuse, an alternative basic cable channel that has since evolved into MTV2. Sigh.

For their second season the show moved to the Independent Film Channel (IFC), which sucks for me because you have to pay extra for that channel and I am the working poor, so our relationship had to end. After a year-long break from Trevor, Zach, Sam and the rest of the crew, Miss March came along and gave me a glorious reunion I didn’t know I needed.

Given the subject matter, it’s probably no surprise that Miss March flatlined at the box office. But this is pure cinema to yours truly. It’s the kind of film critics hope you never see, but it’s exactly what I want when I’ve had a long day and need to zone out. Big Grandma’s Boy vibes here.

The movie is about a young man who slips into a four-year coma, only to wake up and find out that his innocent high school girlfriend has become the Playboy of the month. He then goes on a cross-country trip to the Playboy Mansion with his completely irrational childhood best friend (Trevor Moore) to reunite with his long-lost love.

Now buyer beware: If you want morality, substance or logic then NEVER watch this movie. If you love dick, fart and sex jokes then this movie was made for you. It is filth that many people will abhor you for laughing at. However, if you’re having a shitty day at work or have the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Zach Cregger plays the virginal main character Eugene, and he is fantastic as the straight man in this bizarro universe. This must have proven difficult, especially when going up against Craig Robinson, who plays Horsedick.mpeg, a hardcore gangsta rapper with the most ridiculous moniker ever.

Block out his ridiculous dialogue and enjoy how Trevor Moore speaks almost exclusively through unnecessary facial movements, like the next iteration of Jim Carrey. It’s a longshot comparison, but I’m biased, and he never fails to make me laugh.

I refuse to spoil even one of the movie’s jokes, just know that the last scene with Horsedick is priceless and worth the cost of admission alone.

In conclusion, feel free to hate on this movie but there’s at least a laugh in it for everyone I know and that’s more than can be said for other comedy films I’ve seen this year.
