How to make a short story, unnnnneccccccessssarillly l-o-n-g.
15 December 2001
Characatured characters, cliched scenarios and crass dialogue, ladened with exposition.

If the writer/director/producers had just got on with telling the story, they would not have to have such lame lines as one girl telling the other that her boobs were new. Having had the operation herself, I'm sure the girl knew it, so why tell her? LAME EXPOSITION. There's tons of it.

Then you have the four representative guys, the suiet decent guy, the normal guy, the jock and the nerd.

These guys never exist as a group in real life, as anyone who had more than 2 brain cells would be bored to death with the jock in 8.5 seconds. Any guy, who thinks he's a cool dude, about to score with some hot chic, is NO WAY, going to take a nerd along - I REPEAT - NO WAY! You are just not going to risk putting a girl off by hanging with geeks!

The girls are vapid, post modern, pre-pubescent (intellectually that is) teasers. Who in the current trend, have to talk dirty.

This type of frank discussion works well for older women, Mrs Robinson, "The Graduate", Carrie Bradshaw et al - "Sex and the City", but in girl who are barely out of school, it's crass. The have no credibility and have about as much chance of blowing a guy mind, as an electric toothbrush. One night stand, ok sex that's it. Certainly not a night to remember.

New Line Cinema usually create, imaginative, off beat good films, but this is a bust. THIS IS CERTAINLY NO "GO"!
