Holds up surprisingly well

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 1999)

I saw this movie when it was first released and I enjoyed it quite alot. I saw it for the second time last week and I was surprised how well it held up - probably because the actors are so good at portraying actual human beings, unlike most 'teen' comedies. I liked the dramatic sections better - Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez share a very heartfelt scene that is very well done. The end of the movie drags it down slightly, as the movie stretches the credibility of the relationships that have developed. But it is still a very good movie.
