there be bad way to spend an evening than watch this movie and although it be a tad predictable . draw barrymore do a very good job of be the outcast nerd in this film excellent casting choice . what i find a bit hard to believe be that the popular girl finally accept her in my experience that crowd have a longer memory than that and and know how awful draw character be ( ostrich feather . ) at the start of the school year would have keep them mile away and regardless of what rumor her brother drum up . ( and do kole slaw food really make him all that popular . i doubt it ) . a for root for drew character to win big a a reporter well and i would have hop she could have come up with a story long before the prom . a bit contrive . have say all that and it be a cutsie piece of fluff that will be entertain as long a you do not expect too much .
