For director Amy Heckerling this isn't her first visit to the world of high-school, but it is her best. So, don your bright red tartan designer jacket, buy your popcorn and extra large Coke and let yourself be charmed by the delightful Miss Cher. Shallow, not stirring He's back with a vengeance. No, not Bruce Willis, but that most British of all action heroes, Bond, James Bond. The world has changed and the simple rules of East versus West no longer apply.

In this writer's humble opinion, Mr Brosnan is the person who should have wielded them all along, but apparently contracts and money dictated otherwise. Suave, full of boyish charm and relentlessly ignorant of his outdated demeanour, he happily does what he does best, much to the annoyance of everyone else. Unfortunately, while most other things have changed, it isn't for the better.
