Advantages: Larissa Oleynil post-Alex mac

Disadvantages: none

Forget Road Trip, Dude Where's My Car and the never-ending plethora of other US teen films from the late 1990s. This one was the mother of all of them. Much more high-brow and intelligent than the rest (has it yet been mentioned this is a modern take on Shakespeares Taming Of The Shrew!?), the movie is an entertaining romp through a US high school in the late 1990s.

The laughs are thick and fast; the story deeper than the casual viewer may first imagine. The soundtrack is upbeat, poppy and enagaing (Letters From Cleo providing most songs) which reflects the overall tone of the film.

All the stars are impossibly sexy, in typical US teen movie style. Larissa Olyenik is gorgeous, her sister (Julia Stiles) brash and vengeful but also attractive with the late, great Heath Ledger being both dashing and dark.

The highlight of the film is the over-possessive, but adorable, father who makes his daughter wear a belly-vest simulating pregnancy, before going to the school prom. All in all, a fun and more plausible story for a fantastic teen comedy.

Summary: A world apart from other US teen movies
