Totally not expected

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2006)

I was definitely surprised at the maturity of the immaturity that this movie gave us. It was hilarious. I was a bit nervous at first that Amanda Bynes would not be able to pull of a movie like this without seeming too childish...but she's proved me wrong. She's definitely gently glided into womanhood and is a true comedic actress. The gags and jokes in the movie are great, there is always one waiting after every minute. The characters are quite humorous, especially the mom, who's a wack-job and Monique who is a psycho beyond belief. Especially if you're in high school, you'll definitely appreciate and understand what everyone is going through in this movie. If you've graduated high school, then it'll be a good nostalgia of what has been, or what could have been. If you're still NOT in high school, then it's fun to look forward to.
But the idea of someone doing what it takes to achieve his/her dreams, it's a powerful plot and by adding comedy to it, it was worth every dime I had.
Once I knew it was near the end, I got a bit sad...a bit sad because you get so entangled by these characters, that you want to know more...you want to know, "what's going to happen to them?" "Are they going to stay together?" "Is Monique really that crazy?" But alas, perhaps these questions will forever be unanswered.
