No, not a masterpiece but a better 1990's teen comedy

Rating: 7/10 (24 September 2014)

I saw this around 5 or 6 years ago so this is the second time I've seen it. I recalled it wasn't too bad the first time so I was not dreading see it again. There are some great laughs and great acting from Julia Stiles, Alison Janey, Daryl Mitchell and Larry Miller. Heath Ledger was also not bad. It's a predictable movie but predictable happens a lot... so it's how you get there which determines if it's any good. This rises above dumb and keeps it just funny enough to be entertaining as well as interesting. It works and is probably one of the better (at least teen) comedies of the 1990's.
7.2 / 10 stars
