The ugly duckling of romantic-comedies...

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 1999)

Background:
I am a 24 year old male engineering and computer science student living in SC. I do have a large humanities background.
Overview:
I gave this movie a 7 out of 10. I think that it is the ugly duckling of romantic-comedies. It was quite some time into the movie before I was one over by this film. At first for some reason I tried to take it seriously even though it is completely obvious that do so is pointless.
If you have ever wondered what is the worst thing that could have ever possibly happen at your prom, or if anyone's prom experience was worse than yours, then this movie is worth your time. (If you are a guy you might need to seek therapy afterwards; it is pretty traumatic.)
If you think that you have the worst luck in the world, then check out this movie. If you don't think it could get any worse, all you have to do is wait a little while, and then it does in this one.
I think some of the shock comedy routines were a bit too much, but the movie would come off as too serious, lame, and corny without them. (Movie has a R rating because of nudity; it is not what you are expecting.)
I think this is good movie to watch on TV or HBO and maybe rent if you are having a hard time finding something to watch. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it but I don't regret having watch it.
Thanks.
