i know this is supposed to be a a comedy but it found to be very depressing.i dunno maybe it's because it makes you remember all the shit you've been through when you were 17.

a few cool music and dancing sequences here and there but that's it.i loved it when the guy played the "Nookie" track by Limp Bizkit,that was funny.

You can pretty much say the same about all the FRIENDS cast.

Yup, its been difficult for them to break away from their character. Come to think of it, they were cast to play those characters because they were like them in real life... so the typecast will be permenant!

Best film for Mathew Perry would be The Whole Nine Yard, that was hilarious, and he was Chandler-isc in that one too.

They're all B-grade actors who could never have given a decent performance if not cast to play themselves. Playing themselves for 10-years didsn't make them any better.

Credit for The Whole Nine Yards should go to 'The Tulip'.

I would say that film was really good for many reasons, but you are right Bruce Willis was one of the biggest.

P.S. I need to rewatch the Die Hard series.

Not to be off-topic, but I think Mathew Perry was pretty good in "Fools Rush in"
