03/21/2018 Not one of my favorites See more 02/09/2015 Putrid, worthless, predictable, insulting to the intelligence of its viewers....Shall I go on? How hackneyed is the "friends turn into lovers even though everyone else sees it but they don't until the end of the movie happily ever after" schtick? But here it is presented as if this director was the first to think of it. Since you know the ending 5 minutes into this sorry movie, what is there to hold your interest? Maybe he high school cutie who has an annoying giggle and hops into bed within 10 minutes of meeting him. Maybe 3 different brunettes who look so much alike I had to struggle to keep them straight. An oh-so-perfect black and white couple, where the black dude couldn't be more of super cool oreo. A tramp of a thoughtless blonde. By now I hope you're saying "and these are the good points?" Yes my friends, that's exactly right. This is feel good trash. See more 06/13/2012 rel hard for a fella to complete a womans wish See more 04/23/2012 Pink Ranger topless? 5 stars. See more 04/17/2012 pink power ranger sex scence and the rest is a bunce of garbage See more 12/02/2011 very convincing. it was a job well done. great movie See more Read all reviews
