I've liked Ryan Reynold's since 'Two Guy's and a Girl' so when I was flicking through the TV guide I knew I just had to see this film. I expected it to be good- Reynold's is a fantastic comic actor and after seeing the Amityville Horror I knew he could do serious roles too. But this film gave me a lot more than I bargained for. From the outside it looks like your typical high school based comedy but it's so much more than that- I don't want to give anything away but it isn't all laughs. So any of you who haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for? Go you big loons and watch it now!!! Now to find a school that has a teacher as cool and, erm, 'interesting'... oh alright 'fit' (for any of you who don't get our British slang that means gorgeous). More Ryan Reynolds films please!!!

I just want to make one thing clear- I love Michael Vartan! But this film really lets him down. His acting is still superb, he's still as charming as ever, and he still looks great. But the film itself is a load of rubbish! Natasha Henstridge, I'm sorry to say it, comes over bit manly... you're constantly waiting for her to run off with her best friend, who's own sub-storyline is a little weird. Myself and my family (who sat down and watched the film with me) were also put off by the soundtrack to the film; at times the music just didn't fit with what was going on in the scenes. However, even this was not the worst aspect of what I found to be a very disappointing film. I could forgive the leading lady's butch-ness, I could forgive the freakish characters that were thrown in to the mix, and I could forgive the poor choice of musical accompaniment, but whose choice was it to cut out the whole middle section of the film and skip straight to the end??? The ending was obviously planned from the beginning but how it gets there is left untold. If you're a Michael Vartan fan skip this film: buy yourself a poster instead.

Although not particularly original, I found this film enjoyable for a made-for-TV movie. Sure it's not one that you'd rush out to the cinema to watch but it's still good if you want to sit in front of the telly with your feet up and a good cup of tea. I found myself continuously screaming at the telly when I was watching this; why can't people just take the easy option for a change and choose the best man? Then again that wouldn't make much of a film and part of what makes it so interesting is seeing the struggle that the leading lady goes through in deciding who to pick. Look out for the twist towards the end too... it was the best part of the whole film!
