Details

Ryan and Jennifer are opposites who definitely do not attract. At least that's what they always believed. When they met as twelve-year-olds, they disliked one another. When they met again as teenagers, they loathed each other. But when they meet in college, the uptight Ryan and the free-spirited Jennifer find that their differences bind them together and a rare friendship develops.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
SnoopyStyle Jennifer Burrows (Claire Forlani) and Ryan Walker (Freddie Prinze Jr.) first time meet on a flight to LA as kids. Four years later, they both go to the same high school. She's the home coming queen and a free spirit. He's the lowly geeky mascot. Then at Berkeley, he's the geeky guy with high school girlfriend Betty (Alyson Hannigan) who's going away to Seattle. He has a roommate (Jason Biggs), and runs into Jennifer again who gets dumped by her committed boyfriend.What's with Jason Biggs' hair? Forlani's character is wildly inconsistent. Her persona is a little more serious than this free spirit character. Freddie is not the geeky boy type. They're both miscast for their roles. There isn't anything undeniably wrong with this movie, but it just doesn't have the charm. It doesn't have any comedy either.
suite92 Not as good as When Harry Met Sally, moved up from 1989 to 2000, with the screenplay dumbed down.Cinematography: 8/10 Good, but not exceptional.Sound: 8/10 Good, but not exceptional.Acting: 5/10 Again comparing to When Harry Met Sally, Freddie Prinze and Claire Forlani are not nearly as good as Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. The supporting cast is not as strong. Jason Biggs is particularly weak.Screenplay: 4/10 This is about 15 minutes of plot spread over 94 minutes. All the Jason Biggs scenes could be omitted without loss.
shashanksharma_88 I pity those people who have lost a certain sense of emotion to describe a movie like BOYS and Girls as boring lackluster etc..I mean are you people devoid of sensibilities or what?? your favourite comment that script was poor needs a Reality check!! let me ask you What do you expect from a romantic comedy? The central characters had a wonderful chemistry, to add to that the charm and sheer beauty of CLAIRE FORLANI. Jason biggs was adept in his part to add humour and also CLAIRE's wit...agreed that there was a certain element of predictability, but what the heck...isn't the story of how two people meet, become friends and eventually fall in love (the so called cliché, how else you expect it, extra-terrestrial or something) shown here in a very subtle yet fated, scintillating yet compelling manner, boosted by some strikingly genuine performances, enough to give the movie its due credit!!Those who still can't get the essence of it,i am afraid you guys need a life..P.S: I am not a big fan of romantic comedies, but i have seen enough to say that this ONE rates right up there with the best!!!!
chrislovesgerardway This movie is a great movie. This movie is one of my friend's life story. We believe that all the events that happened in this movie will happen to her in real life. Even though some of the parts are twisted they still will happen. We love the part where they are in the club and all that whipped cream splashes them. My friend least likes the part where Jennifer and Ryan end up getting it on and they do that you know. So it creeps her out but still we love it. I think that everyone should watch this movie. It will make you laugh like crazy and it will make you think of loving somebody in a new light. Bottom line story of my friends life!
