Hilarious Teen Movie

I don't know why everyone is being so critical about this movie, especially if they liked mean girls. This movie was one of the funniest I've seen this year and it wasn't as chick flicky as Mean Girls, like I thought (of course, it's still somewhat of one). I definitely think that the background in this film is more accurate for a normal high school than other movies, not too exaggerated. Of course, the story of john tucker is not realistic but it's very funny to see the reactions of the 3 girls who he cheated on... Everyone is complaining that this movie is so predictable before they even see it, including me... but guess what.... most of them were wrong... For much of the movie, my predictions were correct but at a certain point, i started being wrong and the movie was, catching me by surprise. But the one thing that did not disappoint me is that this movie always had me laughing and had a few fun surprises.

If you're not a fan of teen movies, i wouldn't see it. But if the sole reason you don't wanna see it is b/c you think it's completely predictable, go see it! you might just be surprised I did have extremely high expectations for this movie, and it didn't quite reach them, but it was definitely worth my money.
