'Ye Old' DVD review - Can't Hardly Wait

New releases are great, but sometimes there's nothing like getting out an old favorite for an evening in with popcorn and a trip down memory lane.

That's why this month's 'oldy but a goody' movie review goes to a little film called Can't Hardly Wait. Yes, the 1998 teen comedy with Seth Green and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The cast also included Ethan Embry, Jaime Presley, Selma Blair and Peter Facinelli. Jason Segel from How I Met Your Mother and Forgetting Sarah Marshall even has his screen debut here as 'Watermelon guy.'

Its high school graduation, and like all seniors they want to party. In the meantime a boy wants to get a girl he's loved for years and as luck, or the forces of Barry Manilow would have it,  she just broke up with her boyfriend. There's also a nerdy head-case that wants revenge on a lifelong bully and a hip hop weirdo that is trying to lose his virginity and gain some respect. So the party comes, things develop. People have sex, drink, and go along with most of the guidelines of a high school graduation party.

With great lines like:

Denise: There's a mirror right there. Take a look, you're white. 

Stoner Guy: You know who else I like that didn't get much play? Velma from Scooby-Doo. She was cool. She was a hip, hip lady. 

William: I can't feel my legs, I HAVE NO LEGS! 

William: Nobody drink the beer, the beer has gone bad! 

Kenny Fisher: Let's go, boys. Time is honey. 

Kenny Fisher: Those shoes! 

Denise: What? 

Kenny Fisher: Do they serve an orthopedic function? 

This is most definitely worth the trip to the DVD store, even if only to relive your own high school embarrassments.
