Review of Whatever It Takes (2000) by Tash H — 06 Jul 2004

I think they're fun! Some people hate them, but I love watching them! Well, some are better than others, but still, I think they're usually entertaining.

Two high school movies were on tv today: "Whatever it takes" and "Fast times at Richmont high". "Whatever it takes" was a regular romantic comedy, nothing special, nothing original. I didn't like it that much, so I'm giving it 4...I think. "Fast times" was better, but I think the ending was kinda weird...I mean, the whole movie was just a bunch of things that happened to the students in the movie and then after one thing happened to one of the guys, the movie was suddenly over. Sean Penn was in it, and he made me think about another high school movie I think is really great, "Clueless", cause the character he plays is kinda like Travis in Clueless.

My sister bought it Clueless on VHS when it was new, and I've watched it a million times since then. It's been ages since I've seen it now though, but since I'm talking about high school movies, I thought I'd rate it! I love this movie, so I'm giving it 10!

Edit: Not that anyone cares, but I just noticed that Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed "Clueless" also directed "Fast times at richmont high". And she also directed (with other people) the TV-series based on the two movies.
