Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprisingly Pretty Good
Review: I thought this was going to be another normal teen flick, and it mostly was, but it was surprisingly a little better than most. I mean its not deep, but it was interesting. The dancing scene was absolutely awesome!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This movie was stinky!
Review: Prinze and Forlani stunk! There was no plot to this stinky movie. Don't watch it if you like stinky movies. If your a teenager you'd probably like it.
But if you don't like kissys don't watch it! I should have watched a rated G movie! Jason Biggs was funny! Ok thats all!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Predictable
Review: Average and predictable movie... It seems like a lot of it was taken from "When Harry Met Sally."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boys and Girls
Review: This movie is a great movie to watch when you are sitting at home by yourself with nothing better to do. You really get in touch with the characters plus Freddie Prinze Jr. is a total hottie at the end of the movie. All the actors and actresses played there parts really well. It is a wonderful movie to watch as long as you just watch it once. Don't buy it rent it because it is not the kind of movie to watch over and over.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good extra ending, so-so movie at best (symbolic link?)
Review: Sometimes movies have a tacked-on extra ending that runs simultaneously with the credits. This is such a movie, and I suspect I'm going to be considered a flake for admitting it, but I'm going to go ahead and and admit it anyway - That extra ending was the only reason I bought the DVD. Without it, I don't think I would have bought or even rented this movie in either format. The extra ending in this case is a hilarious dream sequence about flatulent supermodels. Without it, I'd rate this two stars at best. The main body of the movie is a romance between two characters (not appearing in the end dream sequence), played by on the one hand Claire Forlani, and on the other by either Freddy Prinze, Jr. or Chris Klein, I can't remember which. With me, it's funny about all three of those performers. I've liked Claire Forlani in some movies, especially in her show-stealing role in ANTITRUST. As for Freddy and Chris, I've liked them in several movies each and have no trouble telling them apart while watching them. But when I contemplate movies in retrospect, they tend to run together (this being by no means the first time). My trouble with the main story is that I just didn't find Claire Forlani's character substantially likeable. Most of the time I thought the guy deserved better and ought to break up with her. That made for a long and ponderous movie to see if he would. Seems a waste of talent, because Claire can play so much better. Neither effective romance nor effective madcap satire, her performance is trapped in a noperson's land in between. A friend of mine actually says that that's the real symbolic connection between the main body and tacked-on ending - That's the joke's on us if we thought it a seriously romantic picture. Instead, my friend says, the subtle message for those of us perceptive enough is that Forlani's character is like unpleasant backed-up flatulence, and the supermodels symbolize the beauty of it all finally passing on by way of the movie ending. Well, I don't want to go so far as to conclude that. Claire Forlani is clearly an actress with potential, and it's better to not quite compare any of her formative performances to trapped gas. But as for her particular character herein, it's hard not to call her a pain in the area brought to mind by that supposed symbolism.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 4 and a half but it's not an option!
Review: Well, I'm a 16 year old guy. That should say a lot right there. This isn't just a girl movie (or maybe I'm just sensitive). I don't know, this is one of those movies that you get stuck watching to it, but when it's over, you're so depressed because you wish your life would be like that. For me personally, I see a connection, because Freddie Prinze (Ryan) plays me so well - structured, smart, iron. Claire Forlani - she plays another person I happen to know. I bet you anything there's plenty of people out there who see a real connection to this movie, it's awesome, don't buy it, but definetely rent it.

P.S. For the guys, this is a good date movie, right up there with Down to You.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good romantic comedy
Review: The essential fact that one must realize is that this is a romantic comedy - it is not meant to be dissected, merely enjoyed passively. It is nothing else and does not pretend to be, and it fits the genre wonderfully. It is constructed of cliches and has a cliche heartwarming ending. No surprises. But it is smart and attractice with dialogue that comes off very naturally and doesn't sound scripted. It is refreshing and enjoyable to watch. None of the performances are earth- shattering but the characters have great on-screen chemistry that gives the movie a great, and very believable, atmosphere. I am not generally a fan of romantic comedies, but I really did enjoy this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pricey!
Review: You have got to be kidding on these prices, I could get a better price driving blindly to any store.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Total Rip-off of "When Harry Met Sally"
Review: I have to say after watching this movie, if I was any of the producers of "When Harry met Sally" I would demand royalties. It is a total re-enactment of it. If you have ever seen the Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal movie you would see it pretty much follows the same story line, scene by scene. Geez, be original for once!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE MOST GOD AWFUL PIECE OF TRASH I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Review: ...and what I want to know is whoever gave these lowlife amateurs an acting career in the first place! Face it girls, Freddie Prinze, Jr. may be the hot newcomer around the corner, but he's long (I mean miles) away from the next Rudolf Valentino.
