I have rated this film high considering it is a run of the mill teenage flick. But I have reasons.The plot is fairly predictable and the characters two dimensional and there are no special effects or nudity or violence or anything truly note worthy at all. This is one of the two reasons I love this film. It doesn't try too hard to connect with some bizarre demographic of American youth or try to be overly funny or pound you relentlessly with some obscure social issue for you to add to the list of things you should feel guilty about. It is what Hollywood does best, a good old fashioned shallow love story where rich middle class teenagers follow their hearts in a squeaky clean high school that only exist in the movies. As an English horror/sc-fi/war movie fan it is great to switch off now and then to visit a place where jocks learn to respect nerds, extra curriculum activities are viewed as cool, and everyone has such wonderful teeth. A place where the biggest danger to your life is not being asked to the prom. I wish could have gone there. Also the opening sequence is one of the best crafted pieces of film that exist. Yes it is right up their with Apocalypse Now and the Cross of Iron! Not as dramatic but perfect, from the look on the boys face to the deliciously ironic sound track to the plethora of insanely happy-in-love people filling the back ground.Performances are what you would expect from this cast of seasoned pro's. Sound track is great (look out for love-scud)and the film has that lovely Hollywood glossy production to it.For a great little, bloodshed free, feel-good, keep-the-misus-happy film you cannot go far wrong from spending a fiver on this.

This is a typical teenagers movie, it may not be well known but it has some good stars, KIrsten Dunst and Ben Foster. It is witty, cute, modern and historical, what with featuring a midsummer's night dream. The plot is straight forward and simple but it is well acted out. The beginning sequence where Ben Foster is walking down the street to upbeat music as other people join him and tell him to Get Over It! is hilarious. You end up really rooting for his character and all in all it makes a very enjoyable film where you don't need to think about what you are watching. It certainly made me laugh out loud. It's just adorable. Watch it!

In the section for technical goofs under the heading continuity. the say that when Berke, Felix and Dennis are walking down the street before going into the music store that they walk by the same law office twice. this is not true actually they just walk by the second set of windows. you can tell because when they walk by the first time the doors are on the right side of the window and the second time the doors is on the left. in fact you can ever the part of the first window in the scene. i know IMDb is pretty good with getting accurate information so i figured this was worth a mention.as for the movie it's self i agree with the review. it really is just a fun and very entertaining movie to watch

This is not a very good film. There has clearly been an intention to create a comedy, but you don't really often get to see a comedy where jokes ruin the whole pleasure. If those poor ones had been left straight out, the viewers had been released from many miseries. Does it belong to the plot to make spectators really feel like the poor guy who loses his life-time girlfriend? If that was intended, why "jokes"? If this had been tragedy, a much better item it had been! Beautiful Kirsten Dunst does it at least worth something for she does not disappoint in acting part either. With this flower your can forgive much unpleasant moments and maybe even accustomize into the situation to enjoy the shallow Shakespeare element that however does not save from the complete disaster either.
