Review of Boys and Girls

The plot of Boys and Girls is simple. A boy and a girl (Freddie Prinze, Jr and Claire Forlani), who at first seem a most unlikely couple, gradually discover their similarities. To me, the film gets off to a slightly slow start, but becomes increasingly watchable as it progresses. The plot is similar to that of When Harry Met Sally, but the style of the film is totally different. It's essentially a teen movie in the vein of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. But it matches up to other teen movies well and offers some good laughs (mainly from Jason Biggs as the womanising, compulsive liar of a room-mate). For anyone interested in the technicalities of film-making, the final scene in which the plane takes off is very smartly edited, too. In summary, if you like teen movies you'll enjoy this, otherwise you'll hate it.
