real trouble starts after you got the girl

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2004)

I really liked that in this film the brainy guy gets the girl early on, and then the trouble starts, instead of being kept in the edge with stupid little twists like in so many other teen comedies. The hard part is holding on to something despite obstacles and this movie captures that pretty well.
The characters don't overextend. Even with some success early on, they don't grow into jocks all of a sudden but keep their weaknesses to the end, fighting in their own way. This, to me, is also the message at the end. Retaliation is not necessary, "not caring" (about the opinions of others) is whats really cool.
I also liked the cast. They are not the greatest actors on earth, but they do their job well. "The Girl next Door" is hot :)
