I guess it was a little unwise of me to watch this one at this time as I kinda knew it wouldn’t be my type of movie. Even despite having meant to watch it ever since it came out thanks to the presence of Larisa Oleynik pretty fresh off “Alex Mack” (one of the best TV shows ever – whatever happened to her after “Third Rock”?!?), the generic high-school-comedy-ness of it didn’t excite me too much. I’m writing this a couple of days after watching it and honestly I’m struggling to remember any highlights. Julia Stiles is great as always and Alison Janney as “Ms. Perky” kind of does a Dolores Herbig from “Dead Like Me” a few years before that show aired. I watched it of course for Heath Ledger, and I’ve gotta say, it’s not exactly essential viewing in his catalogue.
