Critic Reviews

  • Godfrey Cheshire, Variety

    Director Robert Iscove isn't really taxing his imagination, but that's probably just as well.

    Except for one part where the bad boys had to eat pubes pizza for teasing Simon Boggs (Kieran Culkin), I liked the whole movie. The idea of this movie is like ancient - popular guy having a popular bitchy girlfriend and later on breaking up and he again fall for the unpopular girl and… More

    Surprisingly watchable teen romance feature adorable Freddie Prinze Jr. as the cool dude on campus who accepts a bet to play "Professor Higgins" to a cause-conscious but nerdy "Eliza Doolittle" (Rachel Leigh Cook). Despite the lesson about looks not defining a… More
