Terribly stunted dialog that doesn't ring true (a common problem with the director as evidenced in 100 Girls, 100 women, etcetera) mar a obscure teen comedy that already has a hackneyed premise to begin with. Peter is so in lust with Erica (not for her brain mind you, more for the fact that she never wears a bra & likes to get her white shirt wet) that he chooses to pursue her by becoming a stalker and camping out in front of the house day and night. Which everyone (except himself, his slight-off grandfather, and Erica's ultra-religious parents) pretty rightly thinks is a bad idea. The film has it's moments but they are very few and far between.
Keri Russell has nothing to do with the character except look pretty (remember this was back before she had the outlandishly awful idea to cut her hair) Furthermore she's so vapid and dull that one wonders why Peter (who rags on her equally blank-slate of a boyfriend) would go through the trouble in the first place. I'm not even get started on his lame best friend who's the same tired 'wacky' character that's seen in pretty much every single teen movie these days. Davis of course wouldn't learn his lesson and make an equally, if not more so, 'best friend' in his abysmal "Monster Man"
My Grade: D+
