worth watching

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2007)

Yes, this does feel like a formula 80's teen movie - as if the screenplay was shelved in 1984 and put together recently with only slight adaption. Some may criticize this, but other will revel in it. The whole time while watching the movie, I got Risky Business flashbacks. Even some of the scenes and music had that feel to it, but with a comedic feel almost...as if it was done intentionally. Naturally the movie has the stereotypes played to a T - the nerd pack, jocks, etc, but the bad guy (porn producer) was an interesting character, although this character while surely remind you of the pimp in Risky Business, no doubt...hmmm. Regardless, it is entertaining, and worth watching. Sure, it isn't a John Hughes movie, but one of the better teen movies I have seen the past couple years - or at least since 10 Things I Hate About You. The bottom line - if you are a sucker for "another teen movie" as I typically am, then I recommend this one.
