Pete Newmans (Johnny Simmons) has a clever name for the film. He is a successful psychologist/ sex therapist/ author who doesn't have sex. We discover the reason why is he hasn't gone through puberty. His condition is cured and he transforms all at once, as we see a grown man act like a teen. He has a thing for Michelle (Brittany Snow) the girl next door, but suddenly has hormone problems and says things like a jealous teen.
I didn't find the film very amusing. It is a low impact teen sex comedy. Good support cast.
Guide: F-word and nudity.

Plot summary
Perfect gentleman and psychiatric therapist Peter Newmans is assumed gay by his doting patients, female neighbors and profiteering male playmates who envy his slick way with women. Then he's diagnosed with and operated for a rare, non-aggressive brain tumor, which suppressed his pituitary gland, the hormonal trigger of puberty. To the delight of his father, who always waited for normal 'teen rebellion' and knavish womanizing, Peter now rushes trough phases of 'growing up' sexually, with the benefits of adult body and income but without normal experience, confusing him, his crushes and his male friends.

Channel your sexual energy
Offensive (?)
The movie gives it to you straight. From the opening when there is quite a rude conversation (or rather horny one) you should know what to expect. The dialog is not safe for work - unless your job is to listen to those people telling you about their sex addiction and you have to help them. And he is cool as ice. The first scene alone some might question his non-reaction especially those in puberty but also others.
Other than that there is nudity and as already hinted at swearing. But there is also a sweet side. While the mixture is not always working the movie sort of works around those scenes. Not perfect by a long shot, but with an engaging cast and some funny dialog (if you are not offended easily of course) this can be entertaining to watch

I don't know why but I found it really good. Great comedy for the evening.
