Quickie: A loudmouth chick and a tight-lipped prep explore the ins and outs of a platonic relationship (Translation: It's CSBF waiting to happen!!)

Turn-Ons:

  • Guru Mumu: Freddie Prinze, Jr. 'Nuff said. Guru Dudu: Claire Forlani. Heheheheh…
  • It gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. Or maybe it makes you horny? Hehehehe…
  • You see Claire Forlani and Freddie Prinze, Jr. get down and dirty…literally. Promise!!
  • It sparks yet again an eternal debate: Can men and women just be friends?

Turn-Offs:

  • I'd rather watch the trailer than the movie...
  • Surprises give you the heebeejeebees? Then this movie's for you. The plot is predictable! But you knew that already. See? It's that predictable!
  • Claire Forlani's character got annoying after a while. It was like watching Jennifer Love Hewitt on crack.

You call that pace? It was more like a crawl to me.

Are we there yet?!?

Can we say 80's movie remade in the year 2000?

plot/story

"When Harry Met Sally" for teens. Does bring about a few interesting points...note the emphasis on *few*.

Pretty good. Their pay must've been really good for them to make such a loser movie.

The hottie factor is there...the story just kills it though...

Freddie's a great hottie to feast your eyes on.

cinematography

Average...nothing special. Great scene in the club though.

The movie's pace is as slow as Freddie Prinze Jr.'s love life in the movie…perhaps even slower.

the good stuff: like sex and violence

I should have known better when I bought the ticket and realized that this film was rated PG...

Well, I liked the ending, personally. 'Cuz it meant the movie was over.

Nice average ending that "completes" the story.

This theme was explored again and again (and again) in the 80's. Those movies became a classic. Not this one!!

If basing on the *teen* comedy/love story genre, I guess I have seen worse...
