***1/2 out of ****; Grade: B+

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2000)

For a comedy to work, the characters in it must either be very sympathetic or very unsympathetic, with little space between. This film chronicles a couple months in the lives of four likable high school seniors, desperate to experience sex before finishing high school. The lack of originality in the idea is more than compensated for with loads of humor, a truly appealing cast, and an unexpected sweetness amid all the vulgarity. Funny, witty, and certain to contain many future stars.
