This one will be a night to remember, as the nerds become studs, the jocks are humiliated, and freshman crushes blossom into grown-up romance. Will Preston (Ethan Embry) finally talk to teen queen Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt)? Will whiteboy rapper Special K (Seth Green) hook up? Writing/directing team Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS) pay loving tribute to the 1980's teen films they obviously adore, updating the genre for a new generation of young people.

A surprisingly sweet teen comedy that keeps the sex under the covers and off-screen, opting instead for a John Hughes-style exploration of the teen world. It's a little more intelligent and a little better than the average teen fare, and in Blu-ray it loo
