Better Late Then Never

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I saw this movie for the first time on Comedy Central while I awoke from being passed out on my bed one night, and I didn't exactly know what to expect... that's especially good if you haven't seen a movie.Anyway, I've heard a lot of reviews about this movie. Some ranging from good reviews saying that this is "The thinking-man's American Pie," to bad reviews stating that this has already been done. Say what you will about this movie. Unlike that other movie, however, there is dialog in the right places, likable characters, and most important of all, an actual plot... Keri Russell as the female lead didn't hurt matters either.This movie is an underrated classic that I think everyone should see just once.10/10

this is a very good movie, i thought it would be so pathetic and stupid though for the longest time, so i never rented it. but peter is an adorable, "real-life" character, and erica is okay too. i love that matt is devoted to his friend, but it would have been better if matt had been gay, with peter as his love intrest. the music is sub-par, and nothing special, but not detestingly bad or anything. a great coming of age movie for anyone. this movie is truly 6 or 7 seven years before its time. i don't know how this movie did in the box office or anything since i was merely 10 when it came into theaters but if it were to come out now it would be an enormous success. sad thing is that that is the last thing, tv or movie that josh schaeffer (peter) ever did, i wonder why? but anyway i whole-hearted suggest and recommend this movie to anyone not sure to rent it or buy or what-not. VERY-VERY GOOD! and i thought that it would be bad because it had keri russell in it, how wrong i was... you won't regret it, watch it!

I don't see how anyone could say this film is the Breakfast Club of our generation. No way. This movie could have been good. Well, thats a stretch. Had someone else written it, someone else directed it, and someone else played the lead role... Then it could have had some potential. But the only bright side of this film is Keri Russel. And the only reason she lifts this movie up is her body. A movie cannot be driven by one gorgeous female. It needs good acting, good directing, and countless other things. This film is full of bad cliches and bad dialogue.On the other hand, I must admitt I did enjoy this film somewhat. It had a few bright points and Keri Russel sure helped. See it. Forget it. I give it a 5/10.

Teen comedy about a boy who lives on a girl's front lawn during the summer. Why? To get in her pants, silly. What you expected something more complicated than that?Ugh, much like doing nothing during summer, this movie just drags on. I've seen this movie in pieces. The first time, I couldn't stand it anymore, I didn't care if they get together, like a good little stereotypical teen movie should, or not. I finally caught the end of it. I know why I stopped watching it the first time.Just be ready for mind-numbing pointless dialog and countless clichéd characters, like the big mean boyfriend, the horny older yet sexy widow, the man who killed his wife and chopped her to pieces or (did he?), the over religious parents, the old mentor, and others.They say that you should watch 100 Girls (Michael Davis' other movie) as a companion piece. I say watch the Double Dragon movie (another movie of his). At least you get some kung fu with your bad dialog and story.
