No real reason to start this thread other than to say I recently rewatched the movie for the 100th time or so... Still love this movie :D


It's amazing how such a generic teen flick from the 90s has managed to create and keep such a devout following. Seriously, I love the movie, but I still have a hard time understanding why when so many other movies do everything it does better. The soundtrack, maybe? 90s Nostalgia? The general feel-good nature of the film, perhaps?

In any case, just wanted to show it some love. Anyone else remember this movie?

It's all about Rex Manning Day.

I really, really, really hated this movie when I was a teenager because one of my sisters was obsessed with it, and would watch it over and over. I can't count how many Saturday mornings I woke up to the sound of Renee Zellweger screaming.

I never wanted to watch it again, but I was cajoled into it last year by my other sister. I guess I'm preaching to the choir, but I thought it was really good. I still think a lot of the characters are wankers, but I'd watch it again without hesitation. Amazing what 15 years can do to soften ones opinion.

It does, but its also shocking how many key songs in the movie didn't make it to the final soundtrack :ohwell:

It was a good movie. Not great, but good.

I'm pretty sure Rex Manning Day is April 10th in my world. I'm positive this is three years in a row where I go "Hey, that should be coming up soon..." to find out it was two days ago. Shenanigans I tell ya.

In any case, Happy (belated) Rex Manning Day!
