  • Introduced as producer Craig, the first-time viewer finds the earnest romance dated, the archetypes and casting weak, and the film caught between Say Anything and American Pie.
  • He likes William getting drunk and especially Jerry O'Connell’s warning about peaking in high school, likened to Mike seeing his future.
  • He wants a college follow-up with Mike and Tripp.
  • He concludes that the apparent archetype satire instead feels sloppy.
  • The other speakers call this a time capsule and a movie where you had to be there.
  • The others defend the film’s modest ambitions, cheap production, young cast and humorous execution as characteristic of the era.
