I am docking this half a star because casting Dermot Mulroney was a mistake in an otherwise great movie.
Look, it's not that this is good. The script is kind of clunky at times, and the pacing can be a bit off.
But. It really makes a huge difference with a male lead that actually has some acting behind him, and so doesn't come off stiff and as if he'd rather be anywhere else. So while it's not technically good, I ended up enjoying this one way more than I thought I was going to.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Whooo, boy. Time has not been kind to this movie. Loved it when it came out and I was 14.
It has an iconic "makeover" (i.e. she takes off her glasses) coming down the staircase in a new dress scene. It has a weirdly long prom dance scene. It has Freddie Prinze Jr who was in all the romcoms around this time. It has Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer which was huge.
And it also has Freddie Prinze…
