Just another movie where Jack Black is finding his comedic chops before he went on to legitimately good movies. The only time when it is worth it to see this, is when you are doing a research paper on Jack Black's career. It'll show you how far he has come from a fat buddy actor to a legitimately good actor.
I didn't really have high expectations to be honest. It wasn't a complete waste of time, probably more intelligent than other teen comedies. Good soundtrack too. Oh, and props to Jack Black for not being THE worst thing about this film.
Did not love it love it. I adore Jack Black hence ONE star. 'cause he's a star. so one star. a star. aha. It was funny. But other than jack black. not much cinema to pick from this flick. it's a shame. spent years trying to see let this and when i finally did. it let me down big time. :(
Zingers? I could merriam webster that but I'll let you translate that for me. Most of the time I've waited for a film I was let down in the end. This movie when was originally out I was a teen, now I'm a grown man. i dunno. I love Jack Black and back then I mighta liked this a lot, but hélàs i saw it like a year ago and it was no good. A shame.
