Sweet, Intelligent and Entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2000)

This is definitely the best of the recent wave of teenage movies. Julia Stiles is so talented, Heath Ledger is charming, and Larisa Oleynik and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are more than adequate, and most importantly, really cute. I don't know that it gives a very accurate picture of the average high-school, but who wants to watch that anyways? I think the scene where Ledger does the "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" is a classic in the making. This movie isn't Oscar material or anything like that, but it's a fun film that you can watch without feeling that your intelligence is being insulted.
