it easy to see that risa bramon garcia be a successful casting director ( and not a screenwriter ) for dozen of hollywood film represent the best part about this movie be definitely the on screen talent . except that it waste in a lackluster script that play heavily on stereotype ( the little virgin in pink and the punk who be actually nice guy and the rude girl from jersey ) and fail to create any sort of compel story . after follow these cartoon cutout around nyc for two hour and we simply do not care what happen to them they be a really whiney bunch of people and for starter . note for future script read represent yelling do not equal real conflict and lead character must be likable on some level and and and if you spend the entire movie set up a new year eve party and for god sake and show the party on screen . the polaroid montage may have save you money and but it do not save the film . one final note the casting may pull in the teen set and but i be a high school teacher until two year ago and i guarantee that virtually nobody under the age of 21 know who elvis costello be . sorry and one more thing . why and oh why and in this day and age and be we do a film that be such a lengthy and impassioned advertisement for teen smoking .
