Just in reply to some of the comments about this movie....it's a movie about Archie, don't take it too seriously! Everyone is arguing about all the inaccuracies....Reggie would never try to close Pop Tate's (if you watched the movie, you would know that he was only following his bosses orders)...Mr. Lodge would never try to physically hurt Archie (near the end he gives his chauffeur heck, saying "I only wanted you to SCARE him!")...or that the group had lost contact for 15 years (how many of YOU all keep in touch with all of your highschool friends after 15 years?) I liked the movie, it was fun. I thought that everyone really was in character, and it was neat to see that no matter how much they thought they had changed over the years, the gang getting back together again made them all realize that they were only trying to fool themselves. I really liked the end, despite what everyone else seems to think (although I think that Reggie would have needed a bit more than a simple apology to get back in everyone's good graces)....it was nice to see everyone fallen back into their roles and the idea that they would continue to live their lives following the same dynamic as they had in highschool (who among us hasn't felt that bit of nostalgia looking at an old yearbook?). The downside...definitely the "Sugar Sugar" rap, and I would have liked to see a few other characters (Dilton especially).
