YA
Matt and a pair of swim team buddies have given themselves the summer goal of seeing a live naked girl. Their attempts are alternately predictable and absurd. Raunchy boy talk and wacky hijinks are standard fare for teen sex comedies, but Matt's attempts to swim the butterfly to impress a girl give the story some depth and are actually funny.
