It's pretty, it's fun, I'm glad it's number one!

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2000)

This film is by far the best out of the competition this weekend. It's light humor, with little to no edge, but done just right. There is some talented acting in this film, led by Kirsten Durnst--she does an amazing job flexing some good emotional strain on a lightweight of a character, and along with Eliza Dushku, as newcomer Missy, really seems to make this more of a fun film than it really ought to be.
Who wins in the end is telegraphed very early, but that's all right as watching the Rancho Carne Squad getting there is a lot of fun. And after a drought of okay to nothing films since after the release of Space Cowboys, this movie is a bright spot in a rather dismal month for movies.
