Represent every type of person. You re trying to cater for everyone, so every teen flick must have at least one rebel character, one jock, one snob, one nymphomaniac and one nerd. Adults in teen movies are supposed to be conniving, repressed and ignorant. Kids are supposed to be misunderstood, and angst-ridden. It s always better to make the characters bond .
Happy endings make the meal easier to swallow.
Predictable, yes, but also very funny. It s because you re afraid. To be fair, though, while the plot is simple, the characters are very engaging. And, like all good movies, the characters make it a keeper. In this one, you have the nerd, the jock, the snob, the rebel, and the recluse ably represented.
