In Zach's case, Dan Lawton (Matthew Carey) is a jock who has always had it in for him and has made it clear that if Zach can't complete the "Dirty Deeds," he won't be the only one in trouble -- he'll also go after Meg (Lacey Chabert), the girl Zach's sweet on, as well as Meg's little brother. Dirty Deeds also stars Charles Durning, Tom Amandes, and Mark Derwin. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Zach Harper: I.A.B... It's All Bullshit ! 

    "10 Dares. 12 Hours. One Wild Night."

    This review is for the Unrated version. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the PG-13 version and probably never will.

    Well, I guess Dirty Deeds was a little better than I expected; but it still ... read moresucked. Nothing about it is really that funny and most of it is just carried over comedy from different teenager/high school comedies. The movie couldn't even make it 15 minutes without using it's first fart joke(but, boy was it funny... not). 

    The characters are cutouts of every stereotypical high schooler. You got your jocks, emos, nerds, gangsters, wannabe gangsters and of course the kid who fits into no one special group. He is our hero, Zach Harper. Zach is trying to complete the ten dirty deeds, which are so creative. I mean the writer must of really thought hard and long about these "deeds." How could he come up with a deed as clever as "Drink a beer in front of a cop." Pure genius at work. 

    Somehow the predictable plot and stereotypical characters was still slightly entertaining though. I was never bored while watching the movie. But that's more because it was funny seeing just how stupid this movie could get and not because it was a quality film. When put into the genre of Late Night Comedy, which this is, it's definitely not the worst thing that could have been made. There's been a lot of movies, similar to this one, that are a lot worse. That's the sole reason why I'm giving the rating I am(2 stars)and not the one I should(1 star).

    It's end of High School year time and it's prank night!! Mix in porkys and all the other modern day high school movies and this is what you get.

    It's about a guy who takes on the 10 dirty deeds, it hasn't been done for years and the last person to complete them all was about 13y... read morers ago and for the last bunch of years no one has tried and before that some only managed to do a few.

    Has everything you expect, dorks, jocks, pot heads, white guys pretending to be black, house party thrown by a freshman trying to get in with the seniors, thick cops, boob shots, ditsy cheerleader types. and 10 pranks to be done by one guy All been done before and been done better, but still it's quite watchable.

    I thought this was pretty well written and the characters were a bit more realistic than in most American Pie movies. The regular theatrical release is PG-13, so the dirtiest stuff is only suggested. There are some strange coincidences and holes in the plot that are problems, b... read moreut overall the story is enjoyable as a treasure hunt/anti-authority comedy.

    Zach Harper (Milo Ventimiglia) is the school prankster who defy the school rules and have fun doing it. He also has a crush on Meg Cummings (Lacey Chabert), who is overprotective of her younger brother Kyle (Wes Robinson). Kyle wants to do the notorious 'dirty deeds' (a hazing ri... read moretual where the contestant has to do ten nasty and mostly illegal things) to earn the respect of the school's jocks, who are constantly bullying him. The concerned Meg insists that Zach stop him from trying to do something so foolish. This results in Zach stepping in to sub for Kyle as a senior has precedence over a freshman. The dirty deeds each one more difficult, outrageous and unlawful than the last has to be completed in just 12 hours range from drinking a beer in front of a policeman to stealing a valuable car. This movie has everything from teen nudity to nerds, jocks and Goths. If you like high school teen comedies then you will love this one.

    Awesome movie! Love the idea of this 10 Dirty Deeds that need to be fulfilled within 12 hours on a Friday night with a challenging Senior in High School. Funny and charming, I already loved it the first 20 minutes. :) Great movie to watch for a weekend.

    I dunno... it kind of had some fun appeal to it. Yeah, it's a typical teen/sex/comedy but it's anchored by a likable lead (Milo Ventimiglia), the actual "Dirty Deeds" (who doesn't love a good dare) and a few great moments. Yes, it has its disgusting jokes... like the bread that... read more comes with mayo, but this movie was still enjoyable to watch. Sometimes you just want to enjoy the high school teen mix where we cheer for the good guys to best the dumb jocks! Check.

    Well this one was pretty decent. Basically took place at the High school with 10 dirty deeds to do. Typical kind of movie but if you have time you might like this one....

    This is a cool movie. From start to finish, action all the way thru. Great flow, not one boring moment or lag of time. I'd highly recommend.

Not so much a coherent story as a string of clichés. Full Review

As feeble as a teen comedy can get.

Even viewers who can still laugh at jokes about accidental urine consumption will be hard pressed to crack a smile -- or, for that matter, a wallet. Full Review

Movies like Dirty Deeds are supposed to be in bad taste -- but that's only excusable if they're funny, which isn't the case here. Full Review

Recycling is alive but not well in the outmoded teen comedy Dirty Deeds, with a result that is more toxic than intoxicating. Full Review

Dirty Deeds is too mild to be dirty, yet too dirty to be charming, and altogether too generic to be much of anything. Full Review

There isn't one decent performance to be had from a cast of amateur actors (adult actors included) that couldn't make dialing a phone look believable or funny. Full Review

This low-end and agressively unpleasant entry into the teen movie canon will vanish from your frontal lobes in about the same time it took to watch the thing. Full Review

The film's biggest (and, truthfully, only) laugh comes from seeing ex-major leaguer Todd Zeile and current steroidal slugger Jason Giambi credited as executive producers. Full Review
