Comedy. Romance It's graduation day at Huntington Hills High, and you know what that means - time to party. And not just any party, either. This one will be a night to remember, as the nerds become studs, the jocks are humiliated, and freshman crushes blossom into grown-up romance. Will Preston (Ethan Embry) finally talk to teen queen Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt)? Will whiteboy rapper Special K (Seth Green) hook up?

United States	Emanuel Levy Variety	"A mediocre attempt to recapture the exuberance and candid portraiture of such high school movie classics as 'American Graffiti'"	NEU
United States	Stephen Thompson AV Club	"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."	NEU
