There's nothing new here, and no great moral insights.
01/01/00
In between these humorous lines is a series of arguments and conversations between characters, which are more flat than those of real life.
01/01/00
Less of a movie and more a collection of 1980s teen movie cliches.
10/12/04
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.

Barry Manilow? Can't hardly wait for it to be over.
01/01/00
The title seems unexpectedly appropriate, as it accurately summed up my feelings about sitting in the theater and anticipating the arrival of the end credits -- I couldn't hardly wait.

Top CriticMost of the film feels a bit trite; too much of it comes off like warmed-over jokes from other teen romp flicks.

The film might have been good if its writer/director duo had concentrated more on characterizations and less on getting cheap laughs.
01/01/00
This is the kind of pointless teen schlock one sees on USA Up All Night.
02/08/03
Manages to serve up new rock, eighties dance music, rap and Barry Manilow -- a combination custom-made to annoy audiences of all ages.
04/12/02
Top CriticBeyond broad stereotypes and patently obvious social observations, Can't Hardly Wait has very little to offer.
01/01/00
[A] messy throwback to '80s teen comedies.
01/01/00
John Hughes must be spinning in his grave.
08/06/07
Top CriticOnly one actress, cherubic redheaded Lauren Ambrose, emerges from this movie with any kind of dignity.
