Enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2003)

This is a really enjoyable film which doesn't try to be too clever or to make you cringe. The soundtrack is excellent which helps tell the story as the film centres on young people learning about love, life and heartache, which is what most songs are about, isn't it? I haven't seen a film with as much vibrant colour in it before, and the use of the colour helps the film in the sense that it's a happy, light hearted positive film.
This is a film for the girls, but it's a lot more enjoyable for for blokes than most romantic comedies. I think the idea of having the girls' father as a maternity doctor was brilliant. For those of you who haven't seen the film watch out for the way he deters his daughters from making out with boys by making them walk around the house in a pregnancy mock-up with all the padding and bulges etc. The fathers one liners throughout the film help keep the pace going and help in preventing it getting to mushy. Over all this is an enjoyable film that you could watch with your younger brother or your Gran as it is inoffensive, has no swearing, and has no nudity. What it does have is a great script, great cast and great soundtrack. Enjoy.
