What were they thinking?! Do people actually still make movies like this? Do people actually BUY tickets and go see movies like this? This is a relic of the 80s that was made 15 years too late. It's been years since I've seen a movie so predictable, so idiotic and so formulistic. Its concepts of social behavior and teen life are so old fashioned and pathetically prototypical, the makers of Saved By The Bell would have laughed. Fine, you say. It's just a stupid comedy. It doesn't have to be smart. But hell, at least make it funny! There were maybe two or three good jokes throughout the whole thing. A couple of decent actors (Eddie Griffin wasn't bad, and Zooey Deschanel is strangely charming) and some good cameos (Tommy Lee, David Hasslelhoff, Vanilla Ice) don't make up for a lousy script, a pathetic lead actor and bland, uninspired directing (the line - directed by a co-writer of There's Something About Mary should tell you all you need to know).
I wouldn't recommend buying this DVD. I wouldn't recommend renting it. If they're showing it on a plane and you haven't got anything to read... get some sleep. And yeah, Eliza Dushko is gorgeous, and there's a scene where she tries on different swimsuits. You can get that kind of stuff on the Playboy channel. And they have better dialogues.
