Have you heard that there's a new movie called Miss March by two guys from the Whitest Kids You Know? We sure as hell didn't.
Apparently, it's about the war between abstinence and promiscuous, rampant, glorious sex...
In an interview with The Knoxville News-Sentinel, of all sources, writer/co-director/star Zach Cregger discusses his B-comedy's place in the debate. Creger, playing Eugene, a guy about to give in to his hot girlfriend's demands that they have sex on prom night, ends up falling down a flight of stairs and cracking his head open. He winds up in a coma for four years, emerging only to find out that his girlfriend is now the Playboy centerfold for the month of March. Somehow, this leads to a road trip to the Playboy Mansion... and a rendezvous with sexual destiny:
"It's basically about what I was like in my youth," says the 27-year-old Cregger, who wrote, co-directed and stars in the teen comedy, in theaters Friday. "He is very pro-abstinence, very polarized on the topic of sex. He's very puritanical."
"There is a message in the movie," says Cregger, who is single but in a committed relationship, "but it's not about not waiting."
Tucker "has an equally unrealistic view about sex," Cregger says. "He wants to have sex with as many people as possible before marriage."
Then what is Cregger's movie trying to say? "There's so many different ways to look at sex, all equally as unhealthy," he says. "There is a middle ground, and you have to let some of these things go sometimes."
Cregger says "Miss March" also shines a bit of light on subjects rarely talked about. For instance, "sometimes," he says, "guys are afraid of sex."
