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.

Presented in an endearingly straightforward fashion and features a handful of performances that manage to elevate the familiarity into something capably entertaining.
