DVD Reviews of Boys and Girls

DVD Review: Fun, Clever and Real... All Round Great Entertainment.
Summary: 4 Stars

My Forehead was Sweating as I Hired it, My Hands were Trembling as I put it in the Video player, and my Smile never Ceased as I watched it. From its Attention-Grabbing Opening to its Predictable yet Fun Ending, it's a Smile-Riot (Laugh-Riot would have been an Exaggeration). Think of a Modern-day "When Harry Met Sally" at a College Campus and you've got the Picture. No, it doesn't come Close to topping Rob Reiner's Classic, but not much Does.

In "Boys and Girls" The Girls (Claire Forlani, Amanda Detmer and Heather Donahue) are Smart, Sexy and Fun; the Guys (Prinze Jr and Biggs) are Goofy, Sarcastic and Funny. They are All likeable. Forlani is the Sole Reason I Hired the film; she has it all, Looks, Talent - both Dramatic and Comedic, and Everlasting Charisma. Detmer is also good in a small role, but in an even Smaller role in Donahue, who proves to be Quite a Comedic Talent. Her Performance is Completely Different to her Starring one in "The Blair Witch Project". Any "In Denial" Horror fans that still believe that that Infamous Horror story was True are in for a Rude Shock when they see "Boys and Girls". (Those people Are out there, I know a few Personally)

The Guys also fare well; they deliver their Clever Dialogue will Requisite Ease, as these roles are nothing New to them. Prinze Jr's performance is his Best in a Romantic Comedy; he is Actually Believable this time around. Robert Iscove's Directing is Good, the Pacing is quick and Everyone gets enough time to shine. Standout scenes include a 2 very Different Dance scenes, one quite Professional one involving Forlani, Prinze Jr and a Car Wash, the Other involving Biggs and Leotards. The Opening Meetings between the Younger versions of Forlani and Prinze Jr are quite hilarious and they pave the way for the Great Humour that the film features. Another great scene is the "When Harry Met Sally"-ish Coffee shop scene where Forlani involves the Other Patrons in her Discussion.

The Fact that it is Original and Fresh in This day and age should be enough to convince you to part with the rental price, not to mention the fact that Claire Forlani is in it. Fans of the Stars and the Genre will more than likely Love it. Others should also check it out, I am neither a fan of the stars, Or the genre, but I Loved it.
