Reviews for Boys and Girls
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.
01/01/00
The extent to which the film’s characters are imagined matches the effort that went into choosing the title.
01/01/00
[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
A well-made romance that may not always work, but is appreciatively overambitious in its ideas about relationships and the opposite sex.
01/01/00
So devoid of insight, humor, characterization or plot that it hardly even earns the right to be called a movie.
01/01/00
Little more than a formulaic recycling of the will-the-guy-get-the-girl-who's-obviously-meant-for-him plot.
01/01/00
Boys and Girls breezes through overly-familiar territory.
01/01/00
Top CriticListless, formless stuff that never survives some serious miscasting.
01/01/00
[Claire Forlani] is way too classy for this sort of film.
01/01/00
A screenful of nonstop charm and credibility.
01/01/00
Top CriticFreddy Prinze Jr. has virtually no chemistry with co-star Claire Forlani.
01/01/00
This pie's half-baked.
01/01/00
Annoying.
01/01/00
A 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.
