Miss March

If this movie proves one thing, it's that Craig Robinson (Darryl from The Office and the 'fat pregnant bitches' bouncer from Knocked Up) deserves to star in his own movie. Robinson, the only truly funny part of Miss March, plays a rapper named Horsedick.MPEG, a high school buddy of Tucker and Eugene (played by writer-directors Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore, respectively, of IFC's The Whitest Kids U Know). When abstinent Eugene's equally virginal girlfriend offers him sex, he gets nervous, slips down a flight of stairs and goes into a coma. Four years later, horndog Trevor wakes up Eugene by smacking him in the head with a baseball bat so they can go on a cross-country road trip to see Eugene's old sweetheart, who is now a Playboy centerfold (hence the title). Moore isn't ready to be a prime-time player, and his supposed charm just comes off as annoying. Cregger only fares better because he's playing the straight man. Oddly enough, Miss March tries to go sweet at the end, with a moral about 'finding the inner bunny inside every girl' (thanks, Hef!). But after you watch Eugene shit himself several times throughout the movie, its sugary heart doesn't exactly resonate. 'Molly Eichel

Whitest kids you know
Make a dumb sex comedy
Zach and Trevor, why?
