Also not an Oscar nominee. I'm trying not to lose my place on my regular rotation during award season, in case you're wondering. It is graduation night and six seniors are making their plans for the last night. The jock, Mike Dexter (Peter Facinelli), has dumped his girlfriend, Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt), in anticipation of all the college tail he'll be getting. This is music to aspiring writer Preston's (Ethan Embry) ears since he has been pining for Amanda since freshman year. He convinces his best gal friend, Denise (Lauren Ambrose), to accompany him to the big party. Meanwhile, nerd William (Charlie Korsmo) is planning an elaborate revenge on Mike Dexter for all the torment he endured at the latter's hands, and Kenny (Seth Green) is looking to pop his cherry with some hometown hottie before moving to UCLA. Nothing at this party goes according to plan for anyone involved but nobody would learn anything if it did.
There are a crapload of named people in this, most in either cameos or before-they-were-famous bit parts. That was enough to keep me interested the entire way, even if the plot wasn't. This is nothing like my high school experience, nor do I wish it had been. It is, however, a time machine back to 1998, if that's the kind of thing that interests you.
