    I really wish this movie existed when I was a kid, I think it would have been my favorite. Still, I loved it as an adult and would highly recommend.

    Despite a few cliché moments (looking at you, flamboyant gay supporting character called on to lead makeover montage) I had a lot of fun watching this movie.

    Don't expect, like, some breakthrough twist to the comedy/romance genre in this movie – but that's not the point. It felt right at home with the iconic rom-coms, and to me that feels like a success.

    I mean, this movie is iconic.

    The story and the dialogue stand the test of time, still being entertaining and captivating today. I'll always consider this one of the classics, and it's a personal favorite.

    Went into the film with low expectations and felt enthralled til the very last second. It feels like a new, refreshing take a story that's pretty common. Would recommend.
