Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The name Adrian was dubbed. The dubbing was done by unknown actors because the studio could not afford to bring back the original actors, which explains the slight voice differentiation. Some words preceding the name Adrian were also dubbed for a more unnoticeable voice transition. more

Continuity: When Amy goes to her car after her night with Nick, she meets and talks to Adrian, as they talk, Amy has one leg cocked up holing her purse while searching for her keys. As the scenes switch back and forth between Amy and Adrian, Amy's cocked leg switches from right to left and back. more

Alicia Silverstone shines in this teenage drama, 7 April 2000
8/10

It's very hard to understand why this movie is rated so low. I really enjoyed watching this film, which was Silverstone's first major role. She plays a crazy teenager who has a crush on a guy who lives in a guesthouse. In her selfish pursuit of the object of her affection, she makes the guy's life a living hell. She also makes the life miserable for anyone who tries to "steal" the guy from her. I think Silverstone fit her role perfectly. The plot was very good as well, and I was always wondering what Silversone's character (Alicia) would do next. This movie gets a solid 8 from me.
