Finally a Teen Comedy That Gets it Right!!!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2004)

I had such high expectations for this film because of it's fantastic cast. Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, Paul Dano... they're all so extremely talented, but I won't lie that I went in a little worried to see such actors in such a "typical" teen comedy.
But in fact, I came out with my expectations exceeded. This wasn't just a typical teen comedy. The story is amazingly original. It has new jokes other than that of the American Pie series. The performances are right on the money... Emile is just perfect and is seemingly having a flawless career. Elisha is awesome, sexy and vulnerable and Paul Dano, Timothy Olyphant and Chris Marquette and hilarious comic relief.
Even the writing and directing seem far superior than what may be expected. To sum it up, I haven't had this much fun at the movies in a long time.
