Best movie of this year hands down!
Very best movie i ever watch
Best movie ever!
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
There's a total of about 15 minutes in this film that does not take place during the time of the most out of control high school party of the year. Party central is an isolated place where recent high school graduates raise hell and where they all learn more about themselves. What makes this so much different and better than most party films is how well it knows to handle...almost everything!Several high schoolers star in their own stories that make this film what it is. We get to care about these characters right away. They're not super deep that they're Oscar material, but still deeper than most in other flicks. There's four major stories: Seth Green plays a wigger desperate to have sex and gets locked in the bathroom with Lauren Ambrose's character (who some people think is the only smart one). There's no telling when they get together and break up, only that they do it many times. Charlie Korsmo stepped out of retirement for one last hurrah before having a decorated education. He plays the geek of the class named William. He and his two other geeky friends have a plan to crash the party for revenge, but he just gets loaded and becomes a ladies man. The heart of the film involves Jennifer Love-Hewitt's character named Amanda. Her longtime high school boyfriend, the jock and pretty-boy of the class just broke up with her to date college girls. Meanwhile Preston, who has always had the hots for her and believes in fate, is ready to make his move on her. This is the bulk of the film where the needed seriousness comes from.All of the songs used in this film are awesome. Some are new, and some are old, some are rock, some are pop. There's a variety, unlike nowadays party films that strictly go by dance tunes from the past year. But most importantly, the film knows exactly what to do with these characters and exactly how to make them and their situations likable. They are so much more than your average dumb party-goers. Love-Hewitt's story is the best, but Korsmo's is the funniest. It is his best performance.7.5/10
The high school seniors have just graduated, and they're having a blowout final party. Preston Meyers (Ethan Embry) is hopelessly infatuated with Amanda Beckett (Jennifer Love Hewitt). When she's dumped by her douche jock boyfriend Mike Dexter (Mike Dexter), Preston can't hardly wait to proclaim his love for Amanda.It's nice to see some familiar faces when they were young. Ethan Embry does a pretty amiable teen. Jennifer Love Hewitt does this hurt face throughout the movie. She's hurt by the break up. She's hurt by the douche boyfriend's attitude. Then she goes nuclear on everybody. The best has to be perpetually short-tempered outsider Lauren Ambrose, and the over-compensating Seth Green. However it's all too familiar. In the end, it's hard to see what Preston actually sees in Amanda other than an object on an unachievable pedestal. Does he really know her? She doesn't even know who his name. They probably never had two words together.
"Can't Hardly Wait" summarizes perfectly well every single cliché and archetype from any of the teen comedies done in the nineties. Not That this is a bad thing, and think that I prefer the clichés from the teen movies made in that decade than most of the awful and unfunny comedies from the recent years.Even when some of the references in "Can't Hardly Wait" could considered "dated" by modern audiences, and despite the fact that the story from this film is totally stereotypical and predictable, at least it still has a certain level of entertainment value to be worth-watching.Personally, I'd rather see a movie like this than stuff like "Project X" any day.
The film is a good depiction on views on the future and sudden realizations before their life truly starts. The film is about the party after graduation involving nerds and jocks alike. Seth Green plays the "Cool in his own mind" type of guy and really makes this movie special. The main character is good as the nerd who just wants his break for once instead of being broke. As a nerd, it was good seeing what happened to the jocks. Overall, anybody anywhere will like this movie, it is funny, it is witty and the stars are just so numerous it becomes sort of a "Which star comes next" type of movie. I rate this film 72%.
