..it was the 90s, and people had just discovered *realistic* young adult comedy/dramas ? this is one of those.
besides the obvious fun of the punk rock shirts/posters/product placements (when else are you gonna get to hear mtx on a soundtrack?) there ws little to keep me entertained.
it was another one of those movies whose narrative moves along at a steady pace, and then 2 thirds of the films action has to take place (due to over-spending I would hazard a guess) in the last third.
this movies heart is in the right place, and it was the 90s, the decade where even the most succinct of us with something to say ended up a little muddled (SFW being a prime example) so I'll cut it some slack.
It's worth it for the all star cast. and the only time you'll ever see french stewart play alongside the likes of matt damon.
