7/10
For Drew Barrymore fans
8 June 2000
A VERY predictable story (girl who was an ugly duckling goes back to high school undercover years later, meets and falls in love with her high school sweetheart...) done pretty well. You're always two steps ahead of the plot, but it's pretty well-acted (with the sole exception of David Arquette--God, is he annoying) and never really dull. But it's a great movie if you're a Drew Barrymore fan (like me). She gives out a terrific performance and makes her character warm and believable. My only big complaint is the ending. The movie should have wrapped up everything at the prom--the ending at Shea Stadium was VERY anticlimatic. That aside though, I enjoyed it.
