iam ashamed to say that i was very apprehensive to watch this movie mostly because movies from the 90 sometimes leave me longing but this movie is brilliant no doubt about it the only downside that through off is that Reese Witherspoon cant play a 15 year old but other then that the movie is very enjoyable not a for everyone but still fun every bit of the movie is well made well directed and is a great gem from the 90 so dont be a trick baby and watch this movie
