The two agree to help each other in their romantic quests, but, as they come closer to their goals, both Ryan and Chris suspect that they might be pursuing the wrong girls.

callanvass Credit to (Filmtwob) Ryan's dreams for catching the eye of the 'goddess of the high school hallway' has a chance of becoming true when her cousin (Chris) offers to make him a deal. All he has to do is help Chris to win the heart of his best friend, the beautiful enigmatic Maggie. This sparks off a damned cute comedy as 'boy helps boy to get girl'I admittedly don't remember much about this one. I'm not all that familiar with Cyrano de Bergerac. I just know that this was apparently a modern version of it. I do remember that this was pretty cute. The cast had energy to spare and they seemed to have fun doing it. There is good eye candy for the gals and guys. Teens will love it and adults will find it slightly amusing or at least tolerable. 5.6/10
Armand a film about nothing. like too many with same ingredients and recipes who must create pretty good summer films without any message or basic importance. teenagers, stereotypes, few cultural references and a new hamburger-movie.same story about true love in a not inspired form but easy to be digest. and the presence of Shane West and James Franco can suggest than it is , at first sigh, different but many movies about same theme. so, only good thing - the remember about pool scene from It is a wonderful life, far to have same charm and a drop from Casablanca. in rest, series product, gray, odor, tasteless. simply fun for boring afternoon.
Laura Not normally being a fan of the teen comedy genre (with the exception of the brilliantly weird "Clueless"), I was hesitant to watch this film. I heard Richard Schiff was in it, which drew me slightly, but the reason I gave in and had a look was because it featured Shane West. There are a few men in the film industry who could take parts where they read from the phone book and I'd still be interested, and Shane West is one of them. (And no, I'm not a teenage girl, I'm older than Shane.)It's not a great movie. It's not even a particularly good movie. The performances are delivered with reasonable enthusiasm and yes, Shane is pretty. But it's not a cinematic masterpiece.However, that said -- this movie has one absolutely hilarious scene that makes it worth the effort to rent, or even buy if you spot it in the bargain bin like my friend did. Shane's character Ryan, at one point, can be seen wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a cowboy hat, with an accordion strapped to his chest, dancing around to "Play That Funky Music White Boy." It is the most stupidly hysterical thing I have ever seen and I about fell off the sofa laughing. I guarantee you cannot watch this scene with a straight face, so the next time you're in dire need of a laugh, look for this movie and find that part!
Kis2c2h This movie was just awful! It was just about the worst movie I've ever seen. It's up there w/ Win a Date w/ Tad Hamitlon & In Good Company. This movie had absolutely no point. The had Shane West as the "geek"! How could you put someone that gorgeous as a geek?!?! HONESTLY! I really hated the movie, it was cheesy lame & should have never been made. Don't watch it b/c those are important minutes of your life that you will never get back! I mean Shane goes to all these attempts to get a girl who only seems interested b/c he treats her badly. I don't understand if a guy pushed me in my pool there would be no more speaking between us! This movie is a rip off & boring. I actually might have fallen asleep a few times. The ending was just awful, and his friends were complete and total fools! I've never seen any movie so strange. The prom being themed Titanic was just insane. I really can't even put into words how badly I hated this movie. DON'T GO SEE IT. Believe me i'm helping you out!
