Cant Hardly Wait
In a story of a different kind, where the story tells about a strong party that takes place in high school. That story began when 500 seniors in high school decided to set up a big graduation ceremony. The boy decided to bring a girl who had been loved for years and separated from her boyfriend but it turned out to be something further. The graduation ceremony turned into sex, drinking, dancing and all things that ran counter to the principles of high school.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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