While there are fantastic stretches of thought-provoking dialogue, too often, the writers feel it necessary to pander to their audience.

Reviews for Boys and Girls
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.

You might wish for some of the grosser excesses of Road Trip or American Pie just to stay awake.

Top CriticIt's a paint-by-numbers romantic comedy, but without the heart or laughs to make it work.

A screenful of nonstop charm and credibility.

It is not that it's implausible; it's just that in this case it's not very interesting, a situation not helped by the most pedestrian dialogue.

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

Top CriticCompared to the wisdom and wickedness of High Fidelity, [Boys and Girls] is such a slight movie.

Top CriticOne moment it is clever and fresh, and the next it becomes stupid.

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.

We can see the plot points lumbering toward us like Godzilla in Death Valley...quips whipping through the air with the greatest of ease and with minimal impact.
07/09/01
The script gives [the actors] virtually nothing to say.

The incredibly perceptive and unique message this film delivers: men and women sometimes have problems communicating. Stop the presses.

Top CriticA well-made romance that may not always work, but is appreciatively overambitious in its ideas about relationships and the opposite sex.

[Biggs] is the only thing that salvages this pitiful romantic comedy.
