Watch it again to appreciate it
rating: 4
I didn't really like the smarmy guy the first time but when I saw how he contributed to the film I could appreciate him more. I love the scenes between Ryan and Maggie. They are the kind of kids you want to hang out with. Ashley is too over the top at times and not believable, i.e. the chocolate cake on the teeth scene. I go back to it and skip to the scenes with Maggie and Ryan. If you are a romantic you'll understand why.

James Franco in Whatever it takes
rating: 3
This movie sure is a 90's teen movie. But if you like she's all that and all the other 90's teen movie you'll like it. If you like James Franco then you'll also like the movie. Its way back when he was young and there are good bouns features.

2 Reasons To Get This DVD
rating: 4
This is your typical teen/chick flick, but it is still funny and even guys will enjoy it. But the main two reasons to get this movie: Marla Sokoloff and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe. These girls are certainly easy on the eyes and make for excellent viewing. Collin Hanks also makes what I think is his movie debut in this film.

Slightly Better than Average Teen Exploitation Moview
rating: 4
It's a teen exploitation movie. That means you already know the plot. Gut has hots for girl and is willing to do "whatever it takes" to get her, even be incredibly stupid. That's what the genre is all about so people should not be surprised when that happens. In essence, guys, especially young ones, tend to do hilarious things to satisfy their...desires. This movie goes a step better.
Synopsis: one of the school geeks is infatuated by the head cheerleader but lives next door to the proverbial "beautiful girl next door". A cousin of the head cheerleader, a jock, wants to add the "girl next door" to his scorecard. The two guys get togther to make each other's fantasies come true. Along the way, the "nice ones" learn important lessons and the "not so nice" ones get their comeuppance. Its as predictable as the sunset. It's still funny.
Where this movie does its best is in the way it charactures the popular people. They are usually depicted as shallow and vapid. They still are but are taken to new heights of idiocy. It's fun to see them get taken down a peg by some nice kids who find each other.
Don't expect any education from this film. Its strictly for laughs. Its not the best but it is certainly entertaining.

Worst teen romance flick I have seen....
rating: 2
Whatever it Takes...
This movie was not even worth my time in watching it. I even heard it was so good I bought it and I hate it! I love teen/romance movies but this one was not one I will ever watch again and struggled to get through the first time!
Reading the synopsis will let you know just what the plot of this movie is. My thoughts skip this one all together.
