Beckett looks for Meyers and finds him in a train station. In the end, Meyers and Beckett kiss; they become a couple .

Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film recreated the 1980s teen comedies of John Hughes . It is "painfully predictable" and "flooded" with useless sub-strands of the plot. The characters in these sub-strands are two-dimensional.

The lexicon of international films wrote that the film offered a “heavy and timeless subject, which, however, reproduced the same clichés so lovelessly” that “the film was doomed to fail”. The rest is "streamlined entertainment, the emotional distortions of their characters any reason for a 90-year-old version of the George Lucas classic" American Graffiti "".

Cinema magazine described the film as a "nice romance with rough jokes". He was "banal", but the supporting characters would "cause a lot of screams".

Awards

Jennifer Love Hewitt was nominated for the Young Artist Award and the MTV Movie Award in 1999.
