Cant Hardly Wait
In a strange story at a high school where 500 senior high school seniors decided to make a strong party at school. Perhaps the boy wants to bring a girl who has been loved for years, and separated from her boyfriend, but things have evolved beyond that. Things turned out completely, as the concert turned into dancing, dancing, drinking wine, dancing women and so on, which completely contradicted the school's guiding principles.

This formula teen flick has engaging performances and a few laughs.

Flat characters are stuck in underdeveloped situations in this attempt by first-time directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont to recapture the mood of a John Hughes 1980s teen comedy.

There are signs that Can't Hardly Wait once had more serious aspirations... But in the final edit, at least, it's the dumb, broad slapstick that prevails, short-circuiting identification with the characters before it can begin.

It's mostly broad comedy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that it's all been done before.

The film deserves credit, both for its breezy pacing and its uncommon tendency to make its characters smarter and geekier than they might have been.

Fortunately, some of the appealing young performers -- who include Ethan Embry, Charlie Korsmo, Lauren Ambrose and, especially, Seth Green -- manage to emerge from the film's generic suburban-teen backdrop.

A high-spirited, synthetically raucous house-party comedy.

The majority of the film is mired in magazine cliches and tired gags. Oh, look, the foreign exchange student only knows how to say he's a sex machine, haw! And the nerd's getting drunk! Hoo!

What's best about Wait are the bright turns by its young cast.

Youth may be wasted on the young, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the time wasted pandering to them.

Kaplan and Elfont provide a real public service by showing how underage binge drinking can boost bookish students' social lives.

This charmless and predictable teen comedy is packed with tired, second-hand ideas that render it wholly uninspiring.
