Whatever It Takes

Tucson Weekly

DIRECTED BY: David Hubbard

REVIEWED: 04-03-00

The suggestive tagline of this teen romantic comedy is, "How low will they go to get the girls of their dreams?" True to its high-school subjects, the answer is "all the wrong places." With just four weeks until "graduation," social outsider Ryan (Shane West) and dumb jock Chris (James Franco) enter into a double-Cyrano scheme of romantic deception to woo the objects, and we do mean objects, of their desire (played by Jodi Lyn O'Keefe and Marla Sokoloff). Disaster ensues, and life lessons are learned. Well, some. Others, ostensibly, await the "higher" education of college life.
