Boys and Girls (2000)

Boys and Girls (2000): Dir: Robert Iscove / Cast: Freddie Prinze Jr., Claire Forlani, Jason Biggs, Amanda Detmer, Heather Donahue: Dimwitted mess about gender differences. It stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Claire Forlani who have been friends since he was twelve. They go through a string of failed romances until the idiot plot brings us to the obvious. Directed by Robert Iscove who made the somewhat better yet nonetheless stupid She's All That. He must be in some sort of desperate casting dilemma to get stuck with Prinze Jr. twice. He is not expanding himself and remains in that constant teen appeal. Forlani is a pretty face in need of material better than this. She seems smarter than the predictable tripe she gets stuck with here. In supporting roles is Jason Biggs who wishes to impress women through lies. My best advice for him is never to admit to being in this film. Amanda Detmer plays Forlani's lesbian roommate. Her sexuality is suppose to make her appear interesting or rebellious but it plainly looks tacked on as if the screenwriter was merely writing a type as oppose to a real human being with a personality beyond anything this film offers. Heather Donahue isn't exactly making a splash after The Blair Witch Project, and this will not increase her odds. The film should have examined gender differences. The script should be folded into a paper airplane and darted down a sewer. Score: 1 / 10

this came on THIS TV not too long ago...and I was like, OH man! Freddie Prinze, JR.. I wanna see whats going on and whats gonna happen? you see, He didn't take it as far as that cat who dated Jen Fisher in the office, you know who Im talking about, and how he really can make a gay sound and lisp and stuff... well, this was Freddie being with a girl on a college campus, and only being friends with this girl who like likes having sex. It sounds good... and then, that's what I found out.....I just didn't like it, and they might not make another one like it together again, BUT Freddie will! come on. I do have to write a little bit more and I will try to get this published as soon as possible

This movie is a good surprise because it isn't exactly a teen movie with dumb jokes but rather a serious analysis about relationships.As a boy, I can say that I really identified myself with "Ryan" as a planer, someone who doesn't decide or do what's on the moment. And it can be true that girls, like butterfly, like to wander there and there.The main thing about their stories is that it took a long time to acknowledge that they are in love. Again, it's a proved fact and it is often due to the feminine indecision. In fact, boys (or are least, "Ryan" and me) know at once what they feel and want to hurry the relationship. The twist of the beginning and end credits is clever because it looks like it was their fate to become soul-mates.The settings of the story in Berkeley and San Francisco is enjoyable because this city is rather underrated whereas it's much better than the famous LA! If it's always funny to see adults playing students, the cast was excellent: I think that "Ryan" should have kept his glasses because it is boring always and every time to see tall, sexy, well-built flawless heroes when the common people are so diverse! To finish with a smile, I realize that Jason Biggs looks like very much as a famous president of republic in his teens years! It would be funny to see Jason at his fifties so!

my cousin introduced me to the film after it hit video. since then it has been one of my favorites. OK, so it is basically a re-make of when harry met sally (also one of my favs) and initially i thought the editing could be better in the beginning. it seems hurried or forced unlike the seamless transition between periods of time in when harry met sally. despite it's flaws though i love this movie. maybe it's just a personal thing for me because i always found myself in Freddie Prinz Jr.'s situation. getting stuck in the friend zone, lol. and Claire Forlani's character is absolutely my kinda woman. i love her quirky, off-the-wall intellectual humor. that's the kind of girl i'm looking for. Jason Biggs also stands out in his few scenes, especially in the one as the credits roll about the Victoria's Secrets models. hilarious! whenever i get to feeling lonely i can always put this movie on and feel better. the music on the movie is really good too. the Jennifer, Jennifer song is really catchy. i highly recommend this movie. trying to grade it objectively i'd give it 8/10 but for me personally it's a 10 all the way.
