It's a nice movie, a decent romantic comedy set in a high school. But what almost shocked me was the fact that storyline was essentially based on Emma (by Jane Austin) albeit set in modern era; without naming the original author! Though I don't remember Emma being as superficial as Cher(leading character in this movie) as she really is clueless! I didn't particularly like Alicia Silverstone in the aforementioned leading role, but found Paul Rudd to be a nice updated dorky version of Mr. Knightly; Brittany Morphy was effective and almost unrecognizable in the role of another clueless new student, whom Cher takes the responsibility of saving (Harriet in the original story. I really wanted to like this film. I really tried. But I just couldn't ignore the fact that there is no clear storyline. It didn't feel like a movie, instead it felt like it was originally atv short series but stringed into a feature length movie right before they began filming. The ending doesn't tie anything together, and many plot points are left with questions unanswered (for example the part of the plot that focuses on Cher trying to get her driver's license. While this film did have some enjoyable moments, that isn't enough to warrant it all the great reviews it has gotten. I found it a complete waste of an hour and forty minutes.
