And yet you CAN wait. submitted by Steve Amick on August 31, 2014, 11:16pm You really can.

So glad you had it submitted by adj737 on June 17, 2018, 9:59pm Cheesy late 90's movie- perfect to time travel back!

Typical teen party movie submitted by jcottey on August 23, 2020, 1:14pm It was fun to see some known actors when they were younger. I also enjoyed the 90’s fashion and music. Nothing special about the movie.

Classic High School Party Movie submitted by Meginator on July 25, 2022, 10:28pm Content Warning: Some of the language (and one of the major plot points) is homophobic, including liberal use of one particular slur.

Does this classic high school saga really hold up over time? Probably not, but despite its many flaws I still enjoy this completely unrealistic tale of a graduating class celebrating their final night together at a massive house party. Packed with cameos from actors who would go on to star on the big and small screen, and featuring a very stoned Ethan Embry as a hapless (and borderline creepy) romantic with one last shot at love with his high school crush, the film has tons of witty one-liners that still hold up without context (“Don’t drink the beer! The beer has gone bad!”). There’s even a surprisingly deep subplot about our use of outward personality presentation to mask our insecurities, which has a renewed sense of relevance in the social media age. That said, this is a silly film that is very much of its time; I love it as much as I did back when I was in high school, but I’m not exactly sure I’d recommend it today, at least not without some serious reservations.
