Everybody's Doing It (2002)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Absolutely Fantastic

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is sort of a weird one. I Netflixed it mostly because I wanted to see an earlier lead performance from Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls, Related, The Class). I wasn't expecting much else since it's an MTV TV movie. That being said, it's probably one of the better MTV movies.The idea itself is an interesting concept. It's meant to be a bit of an obvious satire of public school sexual education, however it's not really as effective as it could have been. It probably would have helped if there was more actual humor involved.Plus the ending just seems way too pat and easy. Angela gives her big speech at the school board meeting and all of a sudden all the teachers and school board officials that were so gung ho about the abstinence program being the only solution are more than willing to suddenly change their minds.The acting is okay, nothing to write home about. Lizzy does a nice job as the wholesome Angela who actually has a mind of her own. She projects a nice every girl quality. What I do like about her character is that Angela is portrayed as someone who isn't sure whether she's ready for sex and finally decides the isn't, but refuses to sign up for the pledge regardless.A bit preachy, but I've seen worse.

This is probably the best MTV movie I've seen since 2Gether or Joe's Apartment. I'm still not sure if it was to be taken too seriously however, as the teacher's behavior was a bit over the top at times; most notably an outburst in the classroom from one of the teachers at Lizzy Caplan (Angela) over a few questions she asked. Apart from the over the top antics of the storyline, Most of the characters were believeable and well acted; Kristopher Turner (Gus) in particular did a fine job as the closeted gay student who gets forced out of the closet after the obnoxious student abstainance board brings charges/accusations against him and a number of other students. Hopefully, MTV will see fit to put this one out on DVD, because its one for the collection.

i recently saw this movie, and i can truely say it is probably the best made-for-tv movie that mtv has made.everything seems pretty realistic in this bizarre abstinence driven school. and it does make you-the viewers think about what you would prefer in schools on the issue of sex-ed.i for one am glad that my school teaches more of safe sex then no sex, even though it doesn't teach much on the subject, it is better then NO SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE being pounded into our heads.overall....9/10

I wasn't expecting too much going into this one,as MTV has never been known for their cinematic masterpieces.I was,however,pleasantly surprised by the this movie.While it wasn't a brilliant film or anything,"Everybody's Doing It" is a great way to kill time,especially for impressionable young teens like myself.Hands down,the best made-for-TV movie I've ever seen.
