Miss March

🎥 Plot Overview

Miss March is an outrageous comedy about Zach Cregger’s character, Eugene Bell, a shy and virginal teenager who wakes up from a four-year coma to realize that his high school crush, Cindi, is now a Playboy centerfold.

Cindi’s transformation implodes Eugene’s shell, and with a burning desire to figure out what happened in her life, he sets out on a road trip adventure—chaotic from the beginning—with his best friend, Tucker Cleigh (Trevor Moore). To say Tucker is a sex-obsessed party animal would be an understatement. He is loud-mouthed, boisterous, and was counting the days until his friend woke up.

Ultimately, Tucker and Eugene’s goal is to storm the Playboy Mansion and have a showdown with Cindi, who has completely and irrevocably changed from the virginal woman Eugene used to date.

Along the way, they get into ridiculous fights with firemen, a ponytail-sporting, psychotic ex-girlfriend, some epileptic rappers, and an endless number of absurd obstacles leading up to a worst nightmare—with Hugh Hefner himself in a cameo role. Eugene has to grapple with the question of who Cindi is now, and who he must turn into in order to align with her new reality.

🖋️ Themes and Tone

Miss March is vulgar to an unrelenting extent and incorporates every single element of a mid 2000s sex comedy. While doing so, it also looks at:

Sexual exploration and losing one’s virginity – Although taken to comical extremes, the concept of ‘missing out’ is persistent throughout the story.

Puerility of male bonding – Eugene and Tucker’s friendship fuels the film, them filled with petty name-calling but sticking up for each other.

Difference between imagination and reality – Cindi becomes a shocking reality check for Eugene as he realizes he and her had completely different perceptions of one another.

The ridicule of the over-consumption of media – Through the branding of Playboy and the fame that comes with it, the film critiques how personal relationships are tainted.

Juvenile, satirical, and over-the-top tones fill the film and the creators aim for shocking humor rather than subtlety.

🎞️ Style and Comedy

The film is co-directed and produced by the members of The Whitest Kids U’ Know comedy troupe (Moore and Cregger) who infuse sketch-style silliness with the pacing of a road-trip movie.

Slapstick gags, outrageous one-liners, and gross humor abound. The assault on the senses does not cease.

The vibrant color scheme is often heightened in sexually or party-themed scenes, as are the party-like visuals.

The surreal impression is amplified with dream sequences, parody moments like massive epileptic dance battle scenes, and hyperbolitic music videos.

The tone of the show heavily emphasizes the eaxaggerated college frat-boy sense of humor, offering no substance but silly absurdity.

🎥 Final Thoughts

Like its predecessor, “Miss March” is best enjoyed without subtlety or sensibility. The film is a chaotic sex comedy that has all the flair of a man’s movie, with its awkward ‘bromance’ moments, surreal side plots and exaggerated jokes. Whether or not people find it award-winning is irrelevant, and if sensitivity or a clever execution is expected, viewers will find themselves disappointed. “Miss March” is simply loud, lewd fun that wallows in its outlandishness.

Unlike more sensitive films, it earns its gold star specifically for not apologizing and being a well-deserved laugh fest for those who appreciate the chaos of the mess that was “Eurotrip,” “Van Wilder,” or “The Brothers Grimsby.”
