It's all cutely derivative, occasionally charming and very occasionally clever.
It's not supposed to be a revelation--just a pleasant rendition of a teen-comedy trope.
A decidedly healthy antidote to the hate-driven, ghoulishly cynical bloodlettings of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and the rest of that sick ilk.
A failed attempt to recapture the exuberant magic of such highschool movie classics as American Graffiti, this is a loud and boisterous comedy, in which the entire action is set during an interminably long graduation night.
Less of a movie and more a collection of 1980s teen movie cliches.
This is the kind of pointless teen schlock one sees on USA Up All Night.
Their characters are heavy-handed stereotypes, but the young actors have the the talent to give them real personality.
I enjoyed the enthusiasm, a thing that's getting rare in movies.
