Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Can't Hardly Wait
Can't Hardly Wait, a comedy, is a great, hilarious movie about the first night of freedom for many teenagers (the night after Graduation) and the paths that are crossed along the way. Join Preston (Ethan Embry) has he desperately pursues his destined true love (Jennifer Love) after she breaks up with her highschool boyfriend, who later tries to get back with her, and the nerd tries to get even with the jock, and the jock hooks up with the "homie". Check it out, you won't be disappointed, unless you're like 40 or something, in which case, stay far far away from this all too realistic account.
--Lee Edwards, Resident Scholar
