high school done right

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2004)

my friend took me took a sneak because he wanted to see the girl from 24 do her stuff on the big screen. I must say, I was really surprised by how good this movie was. it reminded me of the great movies of my youth (risky business, say anything, etc) the filmmakers really had a cool yet realistic vision of what it's really like to be in high school. i laughed out loud all through it and i don't usually make a sound. what i liked most was the fact that the kids seemed real to me. they weren't popular, they weren't nerdy, they were the kind of kinds who make up the silent majority of high schoolers. i loved watching their journey from adolescent immaturity to manhood. sure, some things stretched the limits of credibility, but i didn't care. So overall i really liked this movie. it had heart, it had laughs and damn, that elisha chick is truly one of the hottest women i have ever seen on screen.
