Careful What You Wish For

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2015)

There was a lot of hype for this movie, and frankly the hype setup viewers for this movie's situational irony. The characters were attractive ranging from the usual suburban high school cliques to adult film producers and starlets. Eroticism and high school graduation, as a pair, always attracted attention, and this movie capitalized on this taboo reality. Having these polarized yet ancillary characters made most of this movie's humor based on the novelty of the friendships. This movie definitely illustrated the quiet kinkiness lurking in high school academics while addressing issues of moral sexual behavior. American Pie and She's All That each made boundaries within which this movie operated.
