Jason Wiles; Carlos Jacott; the Bad Reputation singer; would-be-professor tweed-jacket look; Eric Stoltz's clout; Prague as an unseen movie destination
Jason Wiles may be the all-time Apex Mountain the category has covered, ripping off this and 90210 at once. — Bill Simmons
Josh Hamilton has had a respected career; since the movie did not do well, his Apex might instead be a supporting role like Alive. — Chris Ryan
Carlos Jakat, a Bombach friend who shows up in his later movies, gets an Apex Mountain yes; the food-in-his-beer scene is the biggest laugh.
Bombach no; Chris Aigman probably not, since Barcelona may be his best and showiest performance, though this one is sweeter. — Bill Simmons
Olivia Diabo no, because of The Wonder Years. — Bill Simmons
Fridi Johnson yes, for his song ending a movie out for 25 years, recalled alongside Can You Fly and Village Voice hype.
Jessica Heck's great career includes being on Friends when this came out.
Whether it is Apex Mountain for non-over-the-top college movies is debated against Animal House, Old School, Everybody Wants Some, Shithouse, School Days, Higher Learning and Blue Chips; it is only "definitely in the conversation."
The would-be-professor tweed-jacket look is the Apex Mountain of that style, with sport coats also in Bright Lights Big City and The Last Days of Disco. — Andy Greenwald
Eric Stoltz: a year after Pulp Fiction, the movie could only be made with him, so it is the Apex Mountain of his clout and the best use of him. — Andy Greenwald
Prague as a movie destination never actually seen is the pick, noting Arthur Phillips's novel Prague about people in Budapest. — Andy Greenwald
