Kevin and Vicky were an Annoying Couple

I thought their relationship and their characters got annoying fast. Kevin was always getting emotional and making a big deal out of dumb stuff like making everyone swear dramatic pacts and getting upset when random house parties weren't as magical as he had hoped. Vicky spent the whole movie trying to make her generic high school relationship mean more than it really was. She was constantly trying to coerce Kevin into saying that he loved her, when it was clear that he felt uncomfortable doing so and felt that his relationship with her was not as deep as she wanted it to be.

Dumb gripes, I know, but I've never really liked those two characters in any of the movies they show up in. Theyre that annoying couple that pretend like they are soulmates and have the deepest relationship in school, but they are constantly getting in fights and breaking up.

To be fair we find out that they split up shortly after High School, and don't even end up together. This is true for most High School couples.

So I hear Dads dead, hey is that eggnog?

Idk, I've always liked their relationship, their love felt real and it was the central relationship in this movie. They seem to make each other happy and they have good spark. I love when Kevin says "I'll make it up to you" and she looks at him all sexy like "oh yeah? how?" Kevin is definitely the most bland of the group but he's supposed to be the straight guy, the responsible one who keeps the gang together.

I found this relationship quite unrealistic. No way that you are a horny teenager in high school who is in a relationship, and that it took them so long to have sex. Sorry, but I've been in high school and had my first girlfriend and believe me... It didn't take all this stupid commitement and all this waiting just to get in bed. Plus, they took the prettiest actress of the bunch to play the only virgin around. A girl like Vicky would actually be one of the first nailed from the moment she would have gotten in a relationship.

That's a big generalization right there. I've always been the prettiest in my group of girls and I was one of the very last ones to have sex. Personal preference.

I thought it was highly realistic...

Hell my sister never even gave it up to her boyfriend of like 3 years (they met in High School). Shocked he stuck around that long.

Sex was a bigger deal back in the 90s, it wasn't as open as today and now you have a bunch of slutty role models telling all young women to be EMPOWERED and HAVE SEX, you are equal to a MAN! blah blah blah.

I have no statistics on it, but I feel like sex these days is more accessible and less taboo for younger people in Jr. High/High School, etc. It was a bit more mysterious and a bigger thing back in the 90s... least it was where I went to school (non big city).

Just how it was then and where we grew up. Our parents were a little more strict with that and again as I said... mid 90s was just a little different. Also I think 3 years is a stretch now that I think about it. I think it was more like 2. Still...

Even like American Pie not a lot of kids are having sex. Only Stifler (implied) and each of the boys at the end but it took Kevin like over a year of dating Vicky.

Well you see maybe you are from a place where things are different, I don't know. The thing is that here where I live, high school is really the place for the first relationships and sexual experiences. Maybe in America things are different. You see I lost my virginity at age 14 and here it's pretty normal, maybe in your area it would be considered too young.

So basing on my own exoerience, I don't find their relationship believable. But maybe in america this is just the way it is, I grew uo in Canada. I don't say it's wrong, though.
