tia carrere be the reason i decide to watch this film and a neither the title and nor the cover would have be enough to make me spend my time and money on this film which go to show and me and everyone and that a dvd shouldn not be judge by it cover . spoiler the film felt like it be trundle along and not really go anywhere for the moment the awkwardness of paul faber ( zak orth ) around girl be almost too embarrassing to watch and and the fringe on the otherwise attractive kirsten beck ( a alexondra lee ) be too school girlish to watch . where those really fashionable in 1995. the relationship between vicky mueller ( tia carrere ) and todd boomer ( jason london ) be tantalise from the start of though . that first meeting across the lake magical . what a beautiful coincidence they should meet again just a he have behave like a complete moron ( boomer and with two o a in moron ) in front of alexondra . a shame really that we a the audience know who vicky mueller really be . ( well the title do give that away and wouldn not you think . ) what really surprise me be the acting . especially in the scene where vicky give todd a metal version of his alter ego ( the dog character ) and in the little white jewellery box . the actor really manage to recreate that tingle sensation of a first kiss point of no return for todd and vicky . a shame really that the film end with focus on ( after get over todd father harvard drive ) his re unite with his friend . i could envision a whole new film follow vicky to new york there must be a good art university there that todd could attend . nevertheless and a film that do just what we want hollywood to represent entertain u for the duration of the film . do anyone else notice how none of the love be happy one in this film . todd mother be slightly insane ( on the phone 24/7 ) and his dad doesn not find her attractive ( any more . ) todd teacher obviously be disenchant by his wife and vice versa todd himself enter into a wonderfully erotic and dare relationship which and however nice it may be and would realistically be very difficult to maintain ( age difference and maturity difference etc ) and and alexondra and zak do not get together because alexondra be not mature enough to handle a relationship ( > her reaction towards the condom and the cheating and zak advance etc . be all very immature and and often involve run away ) and and zak himself and the poor guy be too much of a best friend or like a brother guy to pull even alexondra . mind you and good film though . i give it an positive . brilliant performance by the actor who bring the script to life .
