LaMarcus C For the fellas...this movie made $309 and has all the makings. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Steve D A mixed bag but works better than it should. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I am a huge Will Friedle fan, so it saddens me to say this is just your basic teenage movie with nothing special. The movie is about him trying to find a condom and having a huge epiphany right before the end of the movie. This movie did lead to a hilarious episode of Boy Meets World to advertise the movie though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Jennifer love Hewitt played a good role in the movie I think. The first time I saw the movie I knew from the gecko the second girlfriend was the right one Jennifer love Hewitt. I gave this movie 5 stars for a reason because there was some some parts that made me laugh. To be honest I think it will be good for the whole family in my opinion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Trojan War is a really good film that few people saw back in the late 1990's. The film played almost no where & essentially became a direct to video movie with almost no marketing whatsoever. It also became 1 of my favorite films. The film is really about what true love actually is & if people who start out as friends can actually progress into a romantic relationship. Brad(played by Freidle) is in love with a very shallow airhead (played by Shelton). But he can't see love right in front of his face with his best friend (played by J. Love Hewitt). The film analyzes very well the games people go thru trying to find the one or true love in their late teens or even early 20's. Brad is basically in love with a "human Barbie doll". You have to be at least about 30 to truly understand what the film is getting at. There is a deeper implied meaning to the plot amongst funny "teen speak & chaos". The film is directly comparable to the movie "Secret Admirer" (1985) from the 80's. The premise of the movie is that "real mature" love is about compatibility, moral values, & respect not just sex & physical attraction although those attributes are still important. With strong performances from Hewitt, Freidle, & Shelton & nice cameos from Hall, Lee Majors, & Griffin; it's a comedy you won't want to miss. 1 of the best teen comedies of the 1990's with a good soundtrack. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member post License to Drive pre Take me home Tonight, but with JLH looking dreamy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
