One of those '90s nostalgia-teen-flix that just slipped through the cracks, I guess. Unlike some unpleasant trips down memory lane (
10 Things I Hate About You), though, this is consistently funny and has charm to spare, thanks mostly to the excellent cast. There really was never a more likeable heartthrob than Paul Rudd. What I like most about it is that instead of relying overtly on the central conceit of Cher as Emma-esque matchmaker, the film veers off into an episodic, peppy, zany film in which no personal conflict goes unresolved for too long, even in the climax. Everyone's just having too much fun to be mad at each other, even when the plot demands it. It's overflowing with goodwill. Fun times indeed.
