"I'm with you CinemaRian,but it just seems like innocent fun or something..FB's DO has been on T.V loadsa times but i only saw it all the way through today,and laughed quite a bit. I knew a Ferrari was involved,a very pretty boy and girl..a tortured "authority" figure,the school principal..er,that's it . Maybe it's notable for "breaking the fourth wall"but doesnt add up to much apart from looking so shiny and fun and the opposite of "world weary",i laughed AT it aswell as with...they visit an ART gallery for cryin out loud!....It's the antithesis of everything that would pass for a "high school" comedy now ...like Rushmore (1998) or the wonderful "Ghostworld" or "Napoleon Dynamite"...and i couldnt help wondering all those idle thoughts like. Why didnt Mia Sara make more films,how come the only other thing i can remember seeing Alan Ruck in is "Speed" Why oh why did Jennifer Grey get a nose job!?...and how Matthew Broderick looks so cute,a lot like Ellen "Juno" Page...
