Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

videorama-759-859391 Here's one of the better teen comedies, I enjoyed much more than I thought I would. Starring some upcoming stars, some of them who sadly faded into obscurity, much the same way as the ones did from American Pie, my only regret, was I should of seen this film fifteen years early. Of course my reason for watching this, was for the late Paul Walker, who I must admit, didn't do a bad job here, playing a real a..hole, typically un Walker'ish. Although there are a few clichéd moments as in the progression of the story, I still found this really entertaining, the transformation, staircase scene, that was later mocked in Not Another Teen movie, another one. The unoriginal premise has popular jock, Zack, Freddie Prince Junior, dumped by queen of popularity/vaingloried stuck up/bitch, Taylor. Now Freddie is given a wager, by friend, Dean, a sort of meathead, to change a chosen dork Walker's girl of choice), nerd, geek, rah rah rah, into the prom queen. Plain Jane, Rachel Leigh Cook, is the transformed one, where Zack, of course falls in love with her, but a bets a bet. We know how the rest of the story plays out, but the film's smart script, adds a lot of funny touches, like Laney's after school hobby, an artist venting group. Too, is a reality show starring Taylor's new love, jock idiot (Matthew Lillard), a kind of Vincent Cassell looking guy, who in one scene, makes such an a.. of himself, it was even embarrassing, watching from my end. Check out his bedroom. Here's one 99 film you must really see, a light hearted teen comedy, you can watch a few times. It has some revenge too that I liked: consult Duval's new appearance, and Walker's deafened ears. I like Freddie Prince Junior too. He has a charisma, or magnetism about his presence, where I never really found him impressive as an actor, more someone who got lucky. Pollack is fun as Cook's pool installer father, while Animal House's Matheson, popping back on the screen as Zack's father, marked a nice return to the big screen. Don't knock this one.

lisafordeay I was just thinking about this movie now in my head and so I might as well do a review on it. The film is about a high school jock named Zachary(Prinze Jr) who's girlfriend is in love with another man(played by Matthew Lillard who also teamed up with Prinze Jr 3 year later to do Scooby Doo). Of course his heartbroken when Zachary's girlfriend dumps him for Lillard's character. SO he decides that his mates(one played by the late Paul Walker) can change any nerdy girl into a prom queen for Zach to take to the prom as part of a bet(like that other film that was released the same year 10 things I hate about you starring the late Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles). Zach of course stumbles across a young nerdy girl played by Rachel Cook who is a rather moody individual who likes to paint and be creative. But when Zachary's sister (played by Anna Paquin)gives her a makeover,Zac falls in love with her. But is it for real or is it only for the bet?Overall it was a cute harmless chick flick and its worth checking out if you like Freddie Prinze Jr. Oh and keep an eye out for Sarah Michelle Gellar(Prinze Jr's wife in real life) and global superstar Usher aka Usher Raymond and Lil Kim(another singer) who star in this chick flick too.

SnoopyStyle King of high school Zach Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is unceremoniously dumped by hot queen Taylor Vaughan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) for an idiot realty TV star (Matthew Lillard). While bragging about his prowess, he's challenged by his douche friend Dean Sampson (Paul Walker) to remake class freak Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) into a prom queen.It's sort of like a modern adaptation of Pygmalion. This and other teen movies are prime to be mocked. RLC is a hot girl, and of course we only realize it after she takes her glasses off. But every genre has it's own clichés and it's own stereotypes. It doesn't negate the genre. This is a prime example of a movie taking all the clichés and making it all work for them.The most important part is definitely RLC. She does the grumpy girl and the sweet girl. And she does both by being the cutest ever. There are also some great young actors of that era including Anna Paquin, Dulé Hill, and Gabrielle Union. The cast is a young energetic group.

BatmanAndRobyn As a fan of all those "late 90's teenage predictable chick-flicks," I thought this movie was pretty good. Compared to others in the same category however, it's definitely not the strongest. The story is predictable: the popular guy makes a bet claiming that he'll be able to make the school's biggest loner/outcast the prom queen. And, of course, by the end they fall for one another. Not a big surprise, but the story is still really fun to follow. With many witty one- liners, there were many laughable moments. However, as a hopeless romantic, my favorite part is the one where Zach and Laney have a close conversation concerning her late mother. I thought Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook worked really well together. The movie got REALLY cheesy at certain parts, not because of the lines (which also occasionally happened), but because of the character delivery. However, I never thought either of the leads overdid it. They had good chemistry and I enjoyed watching the two of them. Although it's not the best film of this sort that I've seen, I still enjoyed it and I'm glad I finally watched it. I would recommend it if you're having a girls night or are just in the mood for a 90's film.
