Gil Junger's TV roots are revealed in his excessive reliance on close-ups and the cast's preponderance of TV actors.
07/06/08
It sounds awful, but Junger's movie is utterly winning.

Top CriticAt times the pic doesn't even seem certain which decade it's set in; the squeaky-clean high school environs often feel more '80s than '90s.

Top CriticThe notion of a contemporary high school as a hotbed of romantic intrigue is utterly apt, and the performances almost make the update work.

Top CriticA zippy high school comedy.

Of course we know how it's going to turn out - that is so not the point of a film like this. As with life, the joy is the journey.
