Boys and Girls

Misery loves company. I became addicted to this quirky, somewhat surreal romantic comedy when a long term relationship of mine ended. To watch Freddie Prinze Jr. and Claire Forlani as long-time friends navigate through the minefield of failed relationships and teen angst only to eventually consider getting together themselves seemed like the perfect anecdotal medecine to relieve what I was going through at that time. Yes, it's ultimately a funny and touching drama that taps into that need for comfortable feel good stories to put the sparkle back into life. Really, it bears more than a striking resemblance to WHEN HARRY MET SALLY in both structure and themes. (Is it a surprise they are both favorites of mine).Ultimately my favorite part of the movie is the first half. The movie starts with a young Ryan and Jennifer meeting for the first time on a plane from New York to Los Angeles. Their encounter remains so memorable that five years later Ryan recognizes Jennifer during a football game. As luck would have it the two also eventually end up both in college at Berkeley and bump into each other in a series of When-Harry-Met-Sally-esque encounters over a number of years.Prinze definitely plays against type here, he doesn't play a hotshot high school football star but instead Ryan is a difficult, unsure teen attempting to make his way through an engineering degree and Forlani is the confident, assured college girl who has no trouble getting dates, but is unable to maintain any long-term commitment.Providing possibly his funniest performance is Jason Biggs (of American Pie fame) who plays Ryans college roommate Hunter (well that's not his real name but he feels it sounds better when picking up girls). From his introduction - getting stuck in a storage case to his eventual success in the girl department - his all too rare screen moments provide some great humor and lend a certain charm to the movie giving it an edge over the adult movie that so clearly inspired it.I've seen this movie numerous times, its one of my guilty pleasures that speaks to me on so many levels.Incidently if you have seen this movie on television the chances are that you have not seen it all. I have seen "Boys and Girls" shredded to bits on network tv.

Love this movie. Grew up watching 90's-2000's romcoms and this one was always at the top of my list.

I found Boys and Girls (starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Claire Forlani) on Amazon Cinemax. I like FPJ. He's cute in a non-threatening way. So I decided to check it out. About three minutes in, I realized I'd seen this movie before. But I'd completely forgotten. You know that's got to be a bad sign.It didn't take me long to figure out why I'd blocked the movie from my memory.Boys and Girls starts with two twelve-year-olds meeting for the first time when they get placed next to each other on a plane. The girl is the sort who gives TMI to complete strangers. It's an embarrassing, awkward first meeting.That could have been the end of it, but then they get thrown together again when they run into each other at a football game in high school. I'm not sure how they didn't know they went to the same school before that night. Maybe this was an away game? They have a similar conversation at about age eighteen as they had on the plane at age twelve. "You're dumb, no, you're dumb, na na na." I'm thinking the writer is of the mindset that the more nasty they are to each other early on in the movie, the more fulfilling the love scenes will be later on when they do come (freudian slip). So we're treated to the antics of a couple of two-year-olds.Anyway, they keep running into each other over the next few years. For example, he's dating her roommate, yadda yadda. At this point, I'm just fast-forwarding through the movie, not invested in it at all. I'm pretty sure I watched the whole thing years ago. Once was more than enough.

Overall, Boys and Girls is a story of a couple who, for some reason, keep having odd encounters. An assertive female character meets a very insecure male, ending in a twisted plot of love.My first encounter with this movie was actually on TV. After, I had to buy it in order to watch the beginning half that I missed.This movie has strong dialogues and will open your mind about the relation between a male and female's best friend relationship. The brute honesty in a few scenes had emotional & great diction which was worth buying the movie alone. I would repeat the scene and personally recite the lines along with the movie each time.If you're someone who's ever had a relationship where you were the less outgoing of the two, or had feelings for your best friend, this little tale of a twisted destiny is highly recommended.

Very good movie. Has Jason Biggs and Freddie prince jr in it.

This movie was good and fun and funny 😄

I am a romantic comedy fan, and this was a great one. I am, also, a fan of Freddie Prince, Jr. And I have several of his movies on DVD. I like the way their relationship starts out as a friendship, and then progresses to something more permanent. I was actually getting concerned at the end of the film that their relationship was going to fall apart, but I was thrilled when they ended up together on a plane ride, no less. Their relationship went full circle from meeting on a plane to stating their true feelings for each other on a plane.

A great feel good movie where young love is found, lost, realized and then found again. (ah, if only life were really like this) It has a great cast and a good message. Definitely a favorite for any of you who are mushy out there!

Covers some aspects of relationships and has a good song number.Its as if it teaches people about how boys and girls get together and how they get through with their lives as well as the aspects of True Love.It has some gorgeous actors who play their parts well and has a little humour perks on and around the film.Jason biggs and Amanda detmer were quite the couple when they appear on screen.

Boys and Girls was a pleasant movie that much like the typical romance has many parts that are quite obvious, but in a way, that was the point and toward the close of the movie, some of the interaction is done well and made believable. What would anyone expect of a teenage based romance..?

Good like it
