- Never seen it before: nine years old and a boy at release, watching Superbad by 16.
- It is one of Liz's favorite movies and she was extremely excited to watch it.
- Garner is seen more around Brentwood than in movies; the recalled credits are Juno, Draft Day and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
- Agreeing with an earlier point, most people in their 20s think of Garner as the Capital One lady who was married to Ben Affleck, like Paul Newman and salad dressing.
- Garner's physical acting is amazing and subtle, down to the giant pina colada gulps; the movie is better seen in your 30s than at 13.
- A daughter identified with the teen parts while a wife loved it in her 30s; adult themes include Matt insisting on marrying his fiancee and Jenna apologizing to her mom for missing Christmas, flipping the usual rom-com ending.
- Someone recently watched Clueless for the first time; this holds up better as an adult watch, while Clueless is a 1995 time capsule and LA has changed.
