Boys and Girls (2000)

Ebert's satisfaction:

Boys and Girls did not use the excellent theory behind post-coital disillusionment.

Boys and Girls used the excellent looks of Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Claire Forlani to get out of having to use the excellent theory behind post-coital disillusionment.

Freddie Prinze, Jr.'s and Claire Forlani's characters are good and sweet and honest and sensitive, and we like them a lot.

We have to agree. What helps is the fact that we get to see the characters grow from early teens to college graduation.

Boys and Girls reminds us of the theory that American society prolongs adolescence far beyond its natural life-span. If these characters were French and engaging in the same dialogue and behavior, we would guess their age at about 13.

The French engage in CSBF that young?? We wish we grew up in France!
