    Flat characters are stuck in underdeveloped situations in first-time directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont's attempt to recapture the mood of a John Hughes eighties teen comedy. Rather than crafting a postmodern BREAKFAST CLUB, they've made a bad PORKY'S retread instead. Set around a post-graduation party where couples meet, get drunk, indulge in bonding and gross slapstick, every stereotypical situation is pulled out of the old-hat formula plot to little effect, even less surprise and eventually utmost tedium. Most people can hardly wait for it to end!

    BREASTS

    Now that I have got your attention DO NOT RENT THIS FILM! I would rather stick an ice pick in my eye rather than sit through this again. Actually make it both eyes.

    Watchable

    If you have seen 'Not Another Teen Movie' and didn't get a number of references then this film will fill in a lot of gaps.

    "Can't Hardly Wait" is a fairly average, frothy, high school comedy. Seth Green is by far the most entertaining thing and there is the odd funny moment. If anything it just tries a little too hard. Not as good as '10 Things I Hate About You' or 'She's All That' but definitely of that genre.

    There are worse ways to spend 90 minutes but there are many better. More for Jennifer Love Hewitt fans than the rest of the population.
