one thing i would like to do before i die be find out who it be that tell justine bateman she could sing and slap that person into a coma . if this stunningly mediocre attempt at a teen comedy do not actually kill the subgenre it at least deliver it a mortal wound . it look like it be film through a dung lens and sound like it be write by a team of gently retard clam . and what hollywood studio cretin think liam neeson and justine bateman would be a good romantic pair . i have see more spark come from a thoroughly wet sparkler . let see and in satisfaction we have get the usual group of teen girl stereotype with julia robert in her first credited roll a daryle and ( the loose girl ) and trini alvarado a mooch ( the tough girl ) and britta phillips a billy ( the crazy girl ) . throw them into a retreaded plot from where the boy be and set it all on the ugly beach on either coast and you have get a good idea what this mess be like . or good yet and just hit yourself in the face with a cookie sheet for 92 minute . gah .
