The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Bennett never lets us forget that his character is in profound pain, even while attempting to perform oral sex on a transsexual blow-up doll. It's a daring, sweet performance that almost single-handedly elevates The Virginity Hit from a standard Superbad knock-off into a film that feels raw, painful, and real. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The Virginity Hit is fresh, unpretentious fun, but the comedy is so raw that it will appeal only to those who appreciate this sort of unfiltered peek into the mind of males in their late teens and early twenties. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene Rodriguez
The result is far funnier and much less annoying than you might expect. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
Works cleverly because it emerges right out of the everyone's-an-exhibitionist YouTube age Read full review

Orlando SentinelRoger Moore
A transgressive blend of stoner comedy, horny teenager movie and "Blair Witch" reality riff, this no-budget romp through teen New Orleans crosses the line and erases that line in a hell-bent pursuit of hell-bound laughs. And yeah, it's often funny as all get out. Read full review

New York PostKyle Smith
At last, someone has figured out that there might be laughs in teens trying to lose their virginity. Read full review

Time OutEric Hynes
The Virginity Hit is elevated by its cast of very funny young actors who match good comic timing with relaxed spontaneity. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria Vizcarrondo
A visually rough retreading of Superbad territory with a slightly more treacherous journey, The Virginity Hit has a surprisingly softer ethical edge than you'd expect. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJoshua Katzman
The movie contemporizes teen-sex comedies like "Porky's" and "American Pie": when the witless nerd gets caught with his proverbial pants down, the footage ends up on YouTube with an astonishing number of hits. Read full review

VarietyAndrew Barker
Those with the stomach for 90 slapdash minutes of nonstop crudity and cruelty will be tickled, while their elders will likely despair at these youngsters' lack of a moral center or ability to hold a camera steady. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchKevin C. Johnson
If The Virginity Hit had been filmed as a straightforward sex comedy, it could've been a riot. Read full review

The New York TimesMike Hale
Unfortunately, the things that can be funny and even liberating in a movie like "American Pie" end up looking coarse and slightly depressing in the scripted pseudoreality of The Virginity Hit. Read full review

MovielineChristopher Rosen
The Virginity Hit feels forced, hollow and ultimately scattershot. Never has watching an on-screen teen trying to lose "it" seemed so empty. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen Cole
The Virginity Hit is another slice of "American Pie," one more youth comedy that encourages its cast (and audience) to ridicule a fumbling, well-meaning teenager. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'Sullivan
A comedy that looks like a documentary but plays like a horror film -- to parents of teenagers. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
It's more like "Porky's for Dummies," a thoroughly depressing teen farce in which Internet voyeurism has replaced human intimacy and where privacy is SO 20th century. Read full review
