Miss March

Miss March played to poor reviews. • Roger Moore wrote in the Orlando Sentinel, "A cut-rate Apatow-ish raunch comedy... one of those painful comedies in which the strain to be funny shows -- always." • And Ty Burr wrote in the Boston Globe, "The movie's aiming for the drunken college crowd but most of the gags have the nervous, giggly idiocy of two middle-school kids flipping through dad's 'Playboy.'
