Nell (Tricia Vessey), Jenny (Gaby Hoffmann), and Stream (Bonnie Root) are three friends enrolled at a respected private school, busy finishing up their senior year and trying to get into good colleges. But academia is not the only thing occupying their minds, especially when Stream admits to her friends that she's never had an orgasm. Jenny and Nell quickly decide they must find Stream a boyfriend who can solve this problem once and for all. But neither of them has been doing much better; while both have had their share of significant others, none has been especially concerned their pleasure, leaving both young women unsatisfied. Stream's fling with big man on campus Chad (James Roday) deprives her of her virginity but leaves her no closer to her stated goal; however, she meets Henry (Ryan Reynolds), a guy who is too much the individual to fit in at school but seems interested in her; he is also, for a change, not obsessed with himself. The supporting cast includes Spalding Gray as a guidance counselor and Ryan O'Neal and Mia Farrow (reunited nearly 35 years after appearing together on TV's Peyton Place) as Stream's parents. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    It's a funny movie. Not a well put together movie but got a few laughs out of me. Ryan Reynolds looked so dorky in this film. Who would have thought he'd turn into a major hunk. :)

    the lead actress made me think of sixteen candles, and the comedy was similar, just updated for this decade. outside the four main characters, the rest were cartoonish and annoying.

    A group of girls trying to figure out what sex is all about and the ever so unattainable "orgasm". A young Ryan Reynolds and Ashton Kutcher make an appearance. Also, the young girl from Uncle Buck is in this movie. (she plays a bitch!). Anyway it is pretty weak in the plot are... read morea. Definately not even close to American Pie.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out how this film ends--though it is a bit shocking how abrupt and, yes, unsatisfying it is. Full Review

Scarcely funny or interesting, much less shocking or provocative. Full Review
