Plenty of WTF moments...


As with any good teen movie, there are plenty of the requisite WTF moments.

Like WTF is that statue donated by the Senior class? A giant ball with some glow lights inside of it inside a wire holder/cage and enormous in side? Where, pray tell, is the highschool going to put that? Will the glow sticks be on all the time, or just at school dances and events? I mean, really, WTF is that thing? Couldn't you just do the school mascot or Statue of Liberty?

And WTF is Chase doing sitting on one of the support beams of the statue when they unveil it? Is it supposed to be romantic? It looks awkward and like he's trying to steal the statues glory but that statue is such an enormous monstrosity the whole scene fails. WTF, get down. No principal would just nod in understanding.

And coming into a girl's bedroom while she's asleep in her bra? Was her health/herbal healing mother pulling an all-night bender or was she just like "sure, adolescent male neighbor. Go do whatever you want with my naked daughter asleep in her room."

And good God, Melissa Joan Hart contemplating Chase while she watches him play with water guns with some totally random kids that were not there before? WTF?! Where did those kids come from? He just joined a roving band of orphans all of a sudden just so Nicole - who is highschool, btw, could look at him like "Aww, he'll be a good dad someday. And that's important because I'm SEVENTEEN"

I'm just kidding. This movie is a total cliche of every single teen movie ever made (boy and girl from two different cliques! You'll never guess what happens, unless you've seen Grease, or The Heathers or any Molly Ringwald/Brat Pack movie, or She's All That, or Ten Things I Hate About You, or that other one with that guy who was a cute heart throb for a millisecond and James Franco and Gia from Full House, or any of them)

But to be honest, there's something adorabley cheesey about all the cheese, and the WTF moments are fun (as is watching them use landlines)

Why do they got to hate on Brandy so much? Was this during "The Boy Is Mine" craze? If there was no Brandy there would be no Ray Jay, and if there was no Ray Jay there would be no Kim Kardashian so... I guess this movie was ahead of it's time, unbeknownst to the creators of this movie.

I also loved the dig at the popular kids in the beginning "Go sing along to some Celine Dion" ... Hahah, what? I was 13 in 1999. My mom sang along to Celine Dion, but I do not remember the cool kids in highschool doing it as if Celine Dion represents the cool kids. Maybe my school wasn't white enough. We had more than one token black girl ... And more than the zero black guys present in this movie.

This movie was made at the same time Titanic was a huge hit, so that damned Celine Dion song was all the rage.

The movie was made when Titanic was huge in theaters, so that damned Celine Dion song was all the rage.

Hmmm, didn't mean to reply twice. It didn't show up the first time. Sorry

Like when he asked "what's in it for me," her reply seems to indicate some action on prom night, sounds like a deal sealer to me.

Wasn't me

Agree. It is a delicious throwback to 90s teen movies.
