Top-class comic timing

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2003)

This is a really top-class comic film, with brilliant timing, and a great cast.
I especially loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt (with his great "off-the-cuff" delivery, especially in the first couple of scenes); Larry Miller as the father (natch!); and also Alison Janney as the guidance counselor - I think this was the first time I noticed her.
I also loved Heath Ledger's rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"; and also around the climactic ball scene where the two romantic leads are "comparing notes" with each other.
A very well-written and well-produced movie.
