I decided to break this out of the thread about IMDb having the movie because it's a fun topic:
Can't Hardly Wait is playing on HBO again.... Nobody has puppy dog eyes like Ethan Embry did in that film. The rest of it was the usual teen silliness.
Another one I haven't seen! I have HBO though so will look for it.
Some of my favorites: Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, Adventures in Babysitting, -- I even liked American Pie! LOL
Heh... the John Hughes era was my generation, having graduated in 1985. Of course, my high school experience was absolutely nothing like any teen movie.
Of course these movies all poke at the same feelings of missed opportunities that BBM did for me, so it soaks you in angst while enjoying the film.
Can't Hardly Wait has one female character that resembles me personality-wise - Embry's best friend. She was probably the only well-developed character in the whole film anyway.
Most amusing line for me: "You're a stripper. An angel stripper." -- Embry, to an uncredited Jenna Elfman, playing an exotic dancer(!)
Weirdest Moment: Realizing that you grew up hating metal/hard rock music and hearing Guns n' Roses "Paradise City" for the first time and realizing you
like it.Wrongest Moments: References to Barry Manilow (and two songs from him in the soundtrack!) and
Scooby-Doo by supposed teenagers. The 20-something writers are outing themselves.
The movie that has the closest tone to my Sarcastro-like sense of humor (which I don't show too often on here because I am Lewis Black-like cynical and that would not be positive
) has to be
Heathers.
Most amusing line for me: Just about EVERY line in the film.
Weirdest Moment: Realizing several characters in this movie also showed up in the equally entertaining
Beetlejuice.
Wrongest Moment: Christian Slater - my first exposure. The Jack Nicholson impression wore out within 30 seconds.
