Much sweeter than its billing

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 1999)

This movie has been compared to Something About Mary, but it's much sweeter and less relentlessly offensive than that film. Yes, it tries to shock, but it just isn't in the same "anything goes" league. For that reason, I liked it a lot better. It's not as funny as I expected, but it was a lot more substantial, and that's not a bad thing. Great performances from a lot of young people to watch. My major complaint is that Natasha Lyonne was inexcusably under-utilized.
