Okay, who wrote the 'doesn't want to hook up' subplot for a 14-year-old mean girl, because YIKES. It kinda feels like they wrote the characters as high school seniors or college undergrads and then remembered they were making a movie for middle-schoolers...

As cringy is it is, I had a boy lose interest in me because I didn’t want to hook up when I was 14. We were in our first semester of high school but still the same age. A few of my friends had similar things happen. And this was a few years later in 2009
@@EmilyHernandez-jt4cs what are you even saying man? Calm down and think for some time because whatever you said here sounds like you are shaming these people for what they went through!
@@margea2400 Why would I be shaming, when I’m a victim myself, how about you read what I said. I said so gross, y’all were only 14, which makes it worse. I seen and known a lot of fast boys, and obviously not all but some girls with follow,
I will NEVER understand why in early 2000’s, writers always tried to make 14 the “cool age” lmao. They’re 14!!!! The same goes for Angus, Thong, and Perfect Snogging.
Lol yeah, same with being 13. (Becauae of the movie Thirteen ofc lol. But tbh, most girls in 7th grade and beyond copied those movies. I was guilty of it too, heh.)
Romanticize the coolness of being thirty with your own money and no sense of teenaged shame. Like, you've got money and you're sure as hell are gonna get that figurine, life is too short to worry about shit like that.
Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging is based on the book Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging which was based on the real life teenagehood of the author Louise Rennison.
Honestly if I saw a dating site/social media site that claimed it was "police approved," that would just make it seem even more sus It's like the website equivalent of someone on an airplane randomly saying, "I'm definitely not a terrorist." Like, I didn't think you were a terrorist, but now since you said that, I do.
There seems to be a trend here with underage actresses kissing actors that are in their 20s. Alexa vegan was 14, this dude was 21 or 22. Selena Gomez was 15 and that dude was 26. In cinderella story Hillary was only 15 and Chad m m was 22. And again lindsey Lohan was 15 in freaky Friday and her love interest chad was 22.
By the way, Tree Surgeon is a real profession. (That's not the official term but it's really common colloquially). Trees get cancer and diseases and stuff that can be well, surgically removed. So there are tree surgeons who travel around treating historic and rare trees all over the US and world. They have to be good at climbing and at botany and using the correct tools, etc. Obviously it's only for like, hundreds of years old heritage trees that are under threat, usually. Typically they're in national parks or important sites and that's who pays for the tree(s) to be saved. I wanted to be one when I was a teenager lol. So that aspect of this movie is actually accurate to my teenage girl experience, which was around this era too. P.S. Tree tumors are actually quite valuable for their whorled pattern. It's called burl. It is often illicitly cut off of trees by some bandit with a chainsaw.

And the ‘cover your shoulders before you leave the house’ sweater that Bri Larson is wearing paired with that swooped ends &bangs hair style makes her look like she’s was meant to play someone’s innocent mother. All such very odd choices.
I’m a 45 year old woman who was well into adulthood when most of these movies were released so clearly I’m not watching your channel strictly out of nostalgia. The best thing about your commentary is that is absolutely doesn’t matter!! You’re a comedic gem who’s humor transcends generations. You legitimately get me to laugh me ass off. Thank you and keep up the good work!!! ❤️❤️
Agreed!! I'm 22 and I've never even heard of this movie; I only watched it because I love Nick's commentary SO MUCH. He's so good at what he does, it's insane how he doesn't have a million followers already!
Same! I'm about to turn 33 so I was just a little too old for most of these movies, but his commentary is so great it really doesn't matter. Plus I finally feel like I know all the movies that are so iconic for people 5-10 years younger than me lol
The writer was pushing 40 when this movie came out. I was expecting that, but the fact that it's a woman was a surprise. What was she thinking when she crafted this masterpiece? Kids, just watch The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants and Bend it Like Beckham instead.
Julie drives me crazy in this movie, she’s so whiny - at the end when Yancy is dancing with that boy who is definitely too old for her and she says “someone for everyone - except for me.” Like shut up Julie, can you not feel sorry for yourself for one second 😂 that being said, I love this movie haha
Right that man was like 20 something flirting with a fourteen year old. Julie stop complaining and call the police your friend is being preyed upon by a child groomer.
It's so sad that 40yo virgin is considered Jane Lynch's breakout role cause she was popping out iconic performances left and right with all the Christopher guest movies
EXCUSE ME are we just living in a world where Halloweentown High doesn’t exist?!?! I mean, it wasn’t good, but Kimberly was Marnie in that one! Sara took over IN MOVIE FOUR.
“The dad fixing the sink the whole movie is the worst subplot I’ve seen since Khloe Kardashian” Milk just came out of my nose and i wasn’t even drinking milk
So you’re telling me that no one has thought of simply dragging the lunch table AWAY from the dumpster in the 20 years since that teacher has been a student??
I was about to give the movie credit for the main girls actually looking like they could be 9th graders but idk if it counts when all the teenage boys are like 30 lmaoooo
Ugh sorry for this (OCD moment): Sara Paxton didn't replace Kimberly J Brown until the 4th installment of Halloweentown known as Return to Halloweentown. Also fun fact: According to Kimberly, they didn't even call her about the role reprisal. Disney just up and recasted her.
the whole scarf thing was so dumb like...... any middle aged woman could have picked that up from jcpennys. also I like how you mentioned the role-reversal in the shower scene because... yikes!!!!
I actually loved this movie but I think I was living vicariously through their lives. Having a car? Having independence? Having the CONFIDENCE to scheme?? Didn’t like the whole teacher date scene even then. No teacher would stick around to hang out with his student in a bar and be willing to take a picture with her.
a lot of people have covered FF recently tbh, though Nick's take would be fun too. but I'd love to see him do Parent Trap or I Know Who Killed Me - I haven't seen anyone tackle the former but I know it's very beloved for a lot of people and the latter is.. a hot mess that I would love to see him break down!
I was obsessed with this movie and apparently I took it to heart because I was sneaking out and hooking up with strangers on Grindr at 14, BAD IDEA DONT DO IT KIDS
You... oftentimes make me actually laugh out loud in a way that’s most likely not very appealing in a visual/ audible way. Thank you Nick you and the content that you create is so very much appreciated and loved 🥰
Losing it over the fact I used to love getting this from Block Buster.. also omfg the son from Weeds being in this???? The whiplash in my heart and brain man
The actress who plays Stacy was also in that Amanda Bynes movie Sydney White, which I feel like is also the right mixture of nostalgic and cringey for clip breakdown
man i can only see jane lynch as sue Sylvester, there are some actors who nail a role so good that you heavily associate it mentally with them and she is one of them.
This is legit my favourite trashy movie ever. But like, I do remember watching this when I was younger and thinking that romantic subplot with Yancy was, like, soooo cute. Now I'm like 😬 And then the part where Julie is peeping on whatsisface as he's getting undressed, I thought that was funny as a kid, and now I'm like 😬😬😬
They could’ve used the yancy subplot to educate so well on body image and body positivity but they had to throw in some stupid fat jokes and stick her with an older “chubby” guy 🙄
@@falling07riot very true, it was much more rare to hear about it, but there were Disney shows at the time as well like that’s so raven that talked about body image, I wish they would’ve taken that route instead of the generic popular “haha let’s make fun of the chubby girl”
Another way they could have incorporated the skateboarding is Julie saying when she saw Steve or whatever his name is and was talking about how much she liked him something like “and we both love skating we’re perfect for each other” or something like that it’s not that hard
ok MANY thoughts as someone who has surprisingly watched this movie many times as an adult!! 1. i, too, HATE the name julie corky 2. your impression of the girls giggling on their laptop is actually a reenactment of me when i watch your videos 3. correction: sara paxton was the replacement marnie in the fourth halloweentown movie, kimberly j brown did 1-3 4. i thought it was just me who never fully grasped staci's pivot to this sleepover scavenger hunt after getting dumped. even my most recent viewing i was like "am i always just not paying attention or what bc idk how this whole thing got started or why" 5. i am deeply obsessed with all the product placement in this movie but my FAVORITE by far is the electric car, especially when yancy does an ad-read for how long it takes for the car to fast charge 6. justice for yancy, she really needed a plot besides "i'm fat." also kills me the scene where they're walking into the dance at the end and the camera focuses on julie, hannah, and farrah, and yancy is several steps behind them completely out of focus. talk about her feeling invisible 7. second to the electric car product placement, my next favorite scene is the morning after the sleepover julie wakes up on the floor with a whole head of natural curls and then two minutes later when they go downstairs for breakfast she's got a fresh blowout straight from the drybar. putting in a formal request for you to do a clip breakdown on alexa vega's most iconic (imo) role, the 2005 lifetime classic odd girl out. thank you in advance king
I was 11 when this came out, and I was convinced that skateboarding can't be that hard because of how easily Alexis Vega just jumped on that board so I was so disappointed that I couldn't even fucking stand on one. It's how I knew movies were LIES.
When this came out I was working a summer job at a movie theater and I took my little sister who was just about to start 9th grade to see it. We were the only ones in the theater and spent the whole time wondering what the hell the writers were thinking.
THIS IS WHY I RECOGNIZE BREE LARSON OMG. I haven't been able to figure it out for years. My 11 year old brain hid this away forever, thank you for restoring my memory 🙏
Sorry Nick, it’s a cover of Heaven Is A Place On Earth (originally by Belinda Carlisle of Gogo’s fame) not a cover of Heaven (originally by Bryan Adams). Yes, I’m very old.
Being a teacher-I've seen 14 year old kids leave for summer teeny tiny, and come back a ft taller and thinking they're grown. So this is like... 'aaaaah, they genuinely know nothing of the wider world.' wrapped up in appearance and fancying anyone who seems 'mature' and pushing boundaries. They all go through a phase of hating me, when they get to Yr 10 and 15, they're super chilled and seem to be on the same wavelength as me. Xxxx
the main mean girl also played the mean girl in "sydney white" a few years later and i watched these movies really close to one another but she literally didnt look any different despite playing a middle schooler in one and a college senior in the other lmao
I genuinely wonder if this was originally conceived as a raunchy teen movie for that like American Pie demographic and then for some reason the studio was only interested if it was geared down to a middle school audience. Like so many plot points would make more sense/be less creepy if the characters were high school juniors not incoming freshmen.
I got into this movie on a child’s ticket, as in less than 12 years old, when I was GODDAMN 24! I randomly saw this movie in the theater, in the afternoon, with my then-new-boyfriend’s mother. (Now my mother-in-law!) It was a bonding day of lunch, shopping, a movie, and her telling me not to dare break her son’s heart. Anyway, as I said, I was 24 years old. The ticket person glanced at us and said “One adult, one child?” And we just squeaked “but of course!” I think it was the combination of the type of movie, the time of day, who I was with, the fact that I’m tiny, and that I was wearing a Girls XL Care Bears t-shirt. Now, at 40, I look back in that moment as even more of an achievement.

I don’t like the sexual jokes in the movie. Totally unnecessary! but I like all the actors and the 2000s branding lol
And the ‘cover your shoulders before you leave the house’ sweater that Bri Larson is wearing paired with that swooped ends &bangs hair style makes her look like she’s was meant to play someone’s innocent mother. All such very odd choices.
i love the movie trope of throwing paper everywhere on the last day of school bc not once in my entire life did that ever happen
It used to be a thing. But most schools have banned it, because it's a slipping hazard and the custodians don't want to clean up that much paper.
Yeah we just threw all our shit out with extra relish 😂
I remember vines making fun of it
cute pfp 💕
My High school did it but it made me feel Terrible knowing custodians were going to have to clean it
I’m a 45 year old woman who was well into adulthood when most of these movies were released so clearly I’m not watching your channel strictly out of nostalgia. The best thing about your commentary is that is absolutely doesn’t matter!! You’re a comedic gem who’s humor transcends generations. You legitimately get me to laugh me ass off. Thank you and keep up the good work!!! ❤️❤️
Agreed!! I'm 22 and I've never even heard of this movie; I only watched it because I love Nick's commentary SO MUCH. He's so good at what he does, it's insane how he doesn't have a million followers already!
Same! I'm about to turn 33 so I was just a little too old for most of these movies, but his commentary is so great it really doesn't matter. Plus I finally feel like I know all the movies that are so iconic for people 5-10 years younger than me lol
I'm also in my fourties and never watched most of these movies but I'm really enjoying his wit.
I have been binge watching their videos because I find Nick so funny, it had never happened to me before lol
Glad to know I'm not the only 40 something watching Nick. I have not seen any of these movies but the commentary is gold!
The writer was pushing 40 when this movie came out. I was expecting that, but the fact that it's a woman was a surprise. What was she thinking when she crafted this masterpiece? Kids, just watch The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants and Bend it Like Beckham instead.
You should do a clip breakdown on Mary Kate and Ashley’s New York Minute, it’s like the quintessential 2000’s teen movie lol
X2
yes.
Yess!!
Omg yes
Ahhh a local band in my area, Lucky Boys Confusion, has a song in New York Minute. It's "Hey Driver".
From "SpongeBob" to every Tumblr girls favorite angsty nihilist idol Tate Langdon.
Evan Peters glow up was real.
🤣🤣🤣
omg noooo I knew I recognized him from somewhere! 😂
But actually haha
He really made playing the weird/creepy yet sweet/sensitive dude a whole career and Im here for it.
I had my phone on the desk behind me listening to this video and as soon as he said "Evan Peters" my head whipped around so fast 😅
Julie drives me crazy in this movie, she’s so whiny - at the end when Yancy is dancing with that boy who is definitely too old for her and she says “someone for everyone - except for me.” Like shut up Julie, can you not feel sorry for yourself for one second 😂 that being said, I love this movie haha
Right that man was like 20 something flirting with a fourteen year old. Julie stop complaining and call the police your friend is being preyed upon by a child groomer.
She is definitely a pick me girl
It's so sad that 40yo virgin is considered Jane Lynch's breakout role cause she was popping out iconic performances left and right with all the Christopher guest movies
i loved her so much in another cinderalla story
yessss Best in Show!!!
I love her in Mighty Wind!!
she's a genius
Jane Lynch is really funny
"is that what he did to the drug company that should've prevented your birth from happening?"
SHE'S FUCKING DEAD
No she's not. That's the problem.
"Why does that bra look like it was made for Tinkerbell?"
I feel attacked 😆
“Hold up the tent”....did they mean hold down the fort???
With the amount of innuendo in this movie I really don’t think so
@@tabitha8232 Innuend-- oh fUCK NO
EXCUSE ME are we just living in a world where Halloweentown High doesn’t exist?!?! I mean, it wasn’t good, but Kimberly was Marnie in that one! Sara took over IN MOVIE FOUR.
Thank you for saying it!!! I was like uhhhh Nick 👀
I was about to comment this! And the 3rd one isn’t that bad after rewatching recently!
I constantly forget it exists and think it's just a fever dream of mine.......
"I never truly had an image, did I?" Is the least teenager sounding dialogue I've ever seen
"But, of course"
“The dad fixing the sink the whole movie is the worst subplot I’ve seen since Khloe Kardashian”
Milk just came out of my nose and i wasn’t even drinking milk
So you’re telling me that no one has thought of simply dragging the lunch table AWAY from the dumpster in the 20 years since that teacher has been a student??
Evan Peters played a very similar role on Phil of the Future around the same time. He definitely was typecast as the "weird kid".
It’s definitely his eyes. He’s got weirdo vibe eyes.
then he became tate langdon....the biggest weirdo of them all
And that’s so Raven
He's still typecast as the "weird kid" in all honesty. He makes it work
@@CherryBlossomBlyue now it's more "weird kid post-psychotic-break" though. And I'm here for it.
I was about to give the movie credit for the main girls actually looking like they could be 9th graders but idk if it counts when all the teenage boys are like 30 lmaoooo
that's concerning
it’d literally be better if they all looked around 30 cause this just looks so uncomfortable
Yep
This movie is randomly one of my comfort movies - when I’m stressed and working late I pop it on, I probably watch it once a month haha
SAME! That and Cheetah Girls 2 😂
Omg same ❤️ and stuck in the suburbs 💕
Same! And sisterhood of the traveling pants lol
Same!
Omg same! This is my emotional support bad early 2000s movie 😅
Ugh sorry for this (OCD moment): Sara Paxton didn't replace Kimberly J Brown until the 4th installment of Halloweentown known as Return to Halloweentown. Also fun fact: According to Kimberly, they didn't even call her about the role reprisal. Disney just up and recasted her.
you’re telling me her name was yancy... all these years i thought no one in this movie could say nancy right
I never thought Drew Gooden would cover this before Nick
I was trying to remember who covered this and where I was remembering it from lol
@@artlessthief I think I've seen about 3 people. I thought this was a re-upload lol
No complaints. I love all my comwntary/movie reviewers equally ❤
@@alexacutioner610 agreed lol I like seeing the different takes and how their comedy styles compare
@@artlessthief same here. i kept thinking it was Dylan is in trouble or trin lovell video
Didn’t know AHS: Middle School was something I needed until now
Same jfjfkfkd 😂😭
Watch Scream queens
Its just a gopro attached to a 13 year old going through their day
the whole scarf thing was so dumb like...... any middle aged woman could have picked that up from jcpennys. also I like how you mentioned the role-reversal in the shower scene because... yikes!!!!
“Is this skateboarding body double shot obvious?” Ah yes “high school” boy fully clears a 8 foot water fountain
I actually loved this movie but I think I was living vicariously through their lives. Having a car? Having independence? Having the CONFIDENCE to scheme?? Didn’t like the whole teacher date scene even then. No teacher would stick around to hang out with his student in a bar and be willing to take a picture with her.
"american horror story: middle school" just ended me lollll
Lmao sameeee
You must do a clip breakdown of Aquamarine!! For the mermaid obsessed type of homosexual teen in the late 2000s it was a must see.
That description is a mood.
I was OBSESSED with Aquamarine
I loved aquamarine... I'd that why I'm a lesbian?
I loved that movie
I’m still waiting on the Lindsay Lohan Freaky Friday review 👁👄👁
@Judy Mwanzo thank you for helping me cause I knew I'd see this review but was convinced it was Nick too😛
@Judy Mwanzo Same, then I realized I was thinking of Dylan is in trouble lol
a lot of people have covered FF recently tbh, though Nick's take would be fun too. but I'd love to see him do Parent Trap or I Know Who Killed Me - I haven't seen anyone tackle the former but I know it's very beloved for a lot of people and the latter is.. a hot mess that I would love to see him break down!
Yesss!
That was a bit of a childhood favorite of mine when I was a child.
"What in the Drew Barrymore's 10th birthday party, giving drinks to children?" DEAD HAHAHA 😂
I’m surprised you never mentioned that Yancy is definitely wearing one of those fake hair “scrunchies”...
Me, being a 14 year old who looks 11, who was home schooled, believing that going into high school was really gonna be this wild.
👁 👄 👁
Me too lol😂😆
I always assumed the characters were supposed to be way older because of the situations they're put in. I HATE IT.
I never saw this movie as a kid so I don’t have the nostalgia factor, so watching this with Nick is deeeeeply disturbing
@@ayannabranchcomb7535 I'm shocked by the stuff Hollywood gets away with. This is super inappropriate.
I was obsessed with this movie and apparently I took it to heart because I was sneaking out and hooking up with strangers on Grindr at 14, BAD IDEA DONT DO IT KIDS
AT 14?! 💀💀💀
@@whatislovebabydonthurtme6965 YES I AM DAMAGED
That just scared me so much for 14 year old you
@@markk8248 14 year old me should have died a few times
I mean the adults should obviously know better because wtf
You... oftentimes make me actually laugh out loud in a way that’s most likely not very appealing in a visual/ audible way. Thank you Nick you and the content that you create is so very much appreciated and loved 🥰
I sometimes snort when I laugh too hard… it’s a tragic existence.
Losing it over the fact I used to love getting this from Block Buster.. also omfg the son from Weeds being in this???? The whiplash in my heart and brain man
The actress who plays Stacy was also in that Amanda Bynes movie Sydney White, which I feel like is also the right mixture of nostalgic and cringey for clip breakdown
She was in a lot of things but I havnt seen her in a while
Yess Sara Paxton as Rachel Witchburn! I would love to see him cover that movie
cosigned
I remember her from this really bizarre kids sitcom called Darcy's Wild Life. I can probably still sing the theme tune! 🙈
@@PMJakers oh my god, your comment just plucked a memory from the recesses of my brain
man i can only see jane lynch as sue Sylvester, there are some actors who nail a role so good that you heavily associate it mentally with them and she is one of them.
What makes the age gaps stuff even weirder is that Alexa Vega was 15 and Sean Faris/love interest was 21 at the time of filming 🤢🤮
He actually does look older than 17yo. I thought he looked about 19yo in this movie.
ew wtf...someone needs to get FIRED
this reminded me of when 14/15 year selena gomez kissed a 26 year old drew seeley in another cinderella story
@Olanna Momah wait what
Had no idea, I know he probably,older then her. scandal
This is legit my favourite trashy movie ever. But like, I do remember watching this when I was younger and thinking that romantic subplot with Yancy was, like, soooo cute. Now I'm like 😬 And then the part where Julie is peeping on whatsisface as he's getting undressed, I thought that was funny as a kid, and now I'm like 😬😬😬
They could’ve used the yancy subplot to educate so well on body image and body positivity but they had to throw in some stupid fat jokes and stick her with an older “chubby” guy 🙄
The sad part is that this wasn’t bad by president he early 2000s standards.
This was years before body positivity became prevalent in pop culture
@@falling07riot very true, it was much more rare to hear about it, but there were Disney shows at the time as well like that’s so raven that talked about body image, I wish they would’ve taken that route instead of the generic popular “haha let’s make fun of the chubby girl”
They must have cut out the scene of Julie in Steve's room where she finds a crusty, rock solid sock that she can break in half.
The mental image 💀
🤢🤢🤢
Another way they could have incorporated the skateboarding is Julie saying when she saw Steve or whatever his name is and was talking about how much she liked him something like “and we both love skating we’re perfect for each other” or something like that it’s not that hard
And that would be so much more believable because that’s the logic of many a teenage crush 😂
@@ayannabranchcomb7535 I feel called out lol
ok MANY thoughts as someone who has surprisingly watched this movie many times as an adult!!
1. i, too, HATE the name julie corky
2. your impression of the girls giggling on their laptop is actually a reenactment of me when i watch your videos
3. correction: sara paxton was the replacement marnie in the fourth halloweentown movie, kimberly j brown did 1-3
4. i thought it was just me who never fully grasped staci's pivot to this sleepover scavenger hunt after getting dumped. even my most recent viewing i was like "am i always just not paying attention or what bc idk how this whole thing got started or why"
5. i am deeply obsessed with all the product placement in this movie but my FAVORITE by far is the electric car, especially when yancy does an ad-read for how long it takes for the car to fast charge
6. justice for yancy, she really needed a plot besides "i'm fat." also kills me the scene where they're walking into the dance at the end and the camera focuses on julie, hannah, and farrah, and yancy is several steps behind them completely out of focus. talk about her feeling invisible
7. second to the electric car product placement, my next favorite scene is the morning after the sleepover julie wakes up on the floor with a whole head of natural curls and then two minutes later when they go downstairs for breakfast she's got a fresh blowout straight from the drybar.
putting in a formal request for you to do a clip breakdown on alexa vega's most iconic (imo) role, the 2005 lifetime classic odd girl out. thank you in advance king
I second an odd girl out clip breakdown
LOL I love this comment and you
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE MOVIE STOP THE SLANDER - the white-out as nail polish was iconic
I was ALWAYS SO FUCKIN DESPERATE to get some of that white out!! I eventually got some regular white nail polish and I pretended
I was 11 when this came out, and I was convinced that skateboarding can't be that hard because of how easily Alexis Vega just jumped on that board so I was so disappointed that I couldn't even fucking stand on one. It's how I knew movies were LIES.
EXCUSE ME, I watched this movie at LEAST 30 times as a kid and was obsessed.
It’s free on TH-cam, and I watched it recently. I am almost 27.
But I also watched it a bunch as a kid
I watched this all the time too!
I would watch it then watch it again right afterwards w director’s commentary
As a kid i never realized how young they were, I thought what they were doing was normal now knowing they were not even freshmen yet is 😂
When this came out I was working a summer job at a movie theater and I took my little sister who was just about to start 9th grade to see it. We were the only ones in the theater and spent the whole time wondering what the hell the writers were thinking.
Did you actually just introduce Sara Paxton without mentioning her legendary lead role in Darcy’s Wild Life
THIS IS WHY I RECOGNIZE BREE LARSON OMG. I haven't been able to figure it out for years. My 11 year old brain hid this away forever, thank you for restoring my memory 🙏
who hasn't said "this [pizza] is so good. im going to kill you" to their dog at least once
Oh I do this every weekend
I LOVE the 40 minute videos, I put them on while studying to make things less monotonous
"Yessss! Summer break! I'm going to.... sit at home."
Yeah, that sounds perfect to me.
The "why did he just tell the dog he was gonna kill him??" Part has me losing it, oh my god there are tears in my eyes
Sorry Nick, it’s a cover of Heaven Is A Place On Earth (originally by Belinda Carlisle of Gogo’s fame) not a cover of Heaven (originally by Bryan Adams).
Yes, I’m very old.
is it good? Not really. Have I watched it SEVERAL times? Yes.
Being a teacher-I've seen 14 year old kids leave for summer teeny tiny, and come back a ft taller and thinking they're grown. So this is like... 'aaaaah, they genuinely know nothing of the wider world.' wrapped up in appearance and fancying anyone who seems 'mature' and pushing boundaries. They all go through a phase of hating me, when they get to Yr 10 and 15, they're super chilled and seem to be on the same wavelength as me. Xxxx
drew AND nick ripping on this movie? im living
Literally my first thought, LOL
i knew i just watched someone else watch this!! lmao
This movie has Wattpad energy and my 14 yo ass ate it up. 🤣
Nick is the only person on TH-cam that has actually made me laugh.
the main mean girl also played the mean girl in "sydney white" a few years later and i watched these movies really close to one another but she literally didnt look any different despite playing a middle schooler in one and a college senior in the other lmao
I thought the older brother was actually hilarious i wish they incorporated him in the plot more
Yes! Most competent AND the actor is from my home state of New Hampshire!
Agreed, when I rewatched it as an adult I was like bruh, needed more of him
Me too, I laughed at that dog part, until her said he was going to kill him.
Sam Huntington is literally one of my favorite actors I’m always so excited to see him in stuff even when it’s crap like this 😂
I genuinely wonder if this was originally conceived as a raunchy teen movie for that like American Pie demographic and then for some reason the studio was only interested if it was geared down to a middle school audience. Like so many plot points would make more sense/be less creepy if the characters were high school juniors not incoming freshmen.
I got into this movie on a child’s ticket, as in less than 12 years old, when I was GODDAMN 24!
I randomly saw this movie in the theater, in the afternoon, with my then-new-boyfriend’s mother. (Now my mother-in-law!) It was a bonding day of lunch, shopping, a movie, and her telling me not to dare break her son’s heart. Anyway, as I said, I was 24 years old. The ticket person glanced at us and said “One adult, one child?” And we just squeaked “but of course!”
I think it was the combination of the type of movie, the time of day, who I was with, the fact that I’m tiny, and that I was wearing a Girls XL Care Bears t-shirt.
Now, at 40, I look back in that moment as even more of an achievement.
Honestly as a former 12 year old girl we did all kinds of whack shit at sleepovers that made no sense lmao
My best friend tricked me into eating a dog treat. Yay slumber parties
