Teenage romance, young love, and that puberty-induced quest to lose your virginity: The perennial themes and punchlines that suffuse raunchy comedies from the 90s and 2000s. A genre that largely disappeared over the past decade as the big-budget superhero fad left little room for adolescent rom-coms.
Amid the car listings, Maddie comes across an ad from an affluent family, seeking the services of an escort to wrest their reclusive son, Percy Becker , from his hermetic, video game-infested shell prior to shipping the 19-year-old off to Princeton — all in exchange for a Buick. Much of the film’s comedy is derived from the stark contrast between Maddie and Percy. Maddie, in an attempt to make a memorable first impression, storms into the animal shelter where Percy is volunteering, donned in a skin-tight dress and towering heels. When asked why she's interested in adopting a dog, she replies nonchalantly,"Because I can’t have any of my own."
It is through her farcical escapades with the late bloomer that Maddie herself matures, learning to approach physical affection through the lens of love and commitment, rather than hedonistic hookups.
