Reviews for Boys and Girls
A well-made romance that may not always work, but is appreciatively overambitious in its ideas about relationships and the opposite sex.

A screenful of nonstop charm and credibility.

The cast is so charming and assured that it puts across most of this with a reasonable amount of conviction.

Top CriticA sure-fire date night movie, proves to be more than that and represents a career boost to all its young people on both sides of the camera.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt avoids cheap laughs and respects its young characters, and that's a welcome change.
01/01/00
[Biggs] is the only thing that salvages this pitiful romantic comedy.
01/01/00
The best thing that can be said about Boys and Girls is that it is studiously inoffensive.
01/01/00
Top CriticSleepless in Seattle this ain't.
11/03/01
The script gives [the actors] virtually nothing to say.
01/01/00
The incredibly perceptive and unique message this film delivers: men and women sometimes have problems communicating. Stop the presses.

The extent to which the film’s characters are imagined matches the effort that went into choosing the title.
01/01/00
While its parts are average to good, the sum of those parts is well above average. This film strikes a decent balance, despite its potential for childishness.
03/16/04
[Boys and Girls] is nothing that we haven't seen before.
01/01/00
The larger motions [Boys and Girls] goes through are oh-so-tiresomely familiar.

Top CriticGiven the vagaries of film production, it's certainly possible that none of these appealing young performers could have anticipated the eventual shape this movie would take. Still, there may have been signs along the way.
01/01/00
Boys And Girls has characters bursting with energy so intense and vibrant that you wish there was a more interesting plot to keep them occupied.
01/01/00
So devoid of insight, humor, characterization or plot that it hardly even earns the right to be called a movie.
