Review of Can't Hardly Wait (1998) by Lorenzo V — 07 Sep 2010
"I don't know about you, but I really believe that there's one person out there, and for me it's gotta be Amanda.".
Multicharacter teenage comedy about high school graduates with different agenda of life on graduation night.
REVIEW.
This "Animal House" update brings more intelligence, more meaning to a dumb period of college partying. The focus on selected characters and the relationship are both entertaining and enlightening. In addition to the somewhat less raucous but much more intelligent college party - "Can't Hardly Wait" is both a fun movie that balances both dumb antics with meaningful interludes between the characters.
Seth Green from Buffy the Vampire Slayer offers up a different and rather deeper character demonstrating his flexibility as an actor and Jennifer Love Hewitt portrays a reluctant Prom Queen misunderstood - in an anti-popularity role. The memorable aspect of this movie is in its balanced treatment of the post-high school experience, avoiding the raw, idiotic nonsense of Animal House and bringing a much more rewarding entertaining experience to the audience.
