“Can’t Hardly Wait” 10th Year Reunion
I was 30 when Can’t Hardly Wait came out, so beyond the high school and college final-party demographic. But when EW reviewed this new DVD and said it had 9 Buffy alums, I decided to give it a try. It’s a solid B movie. Some funny stuff in a movie filled with party cliches. The leads are mopey and schmoopy, but the supporting characters are fun, especially Seth Green trying hard to be “urban”.
I only caught 4 Buffy alums, though: Green, Eric Balfour, Clea Duvall and Amber Benson, plus three Six Feet Under future stars: Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez and Balfour, again. And Jason Segal, looking like he actually belongs at a high school party.
Out on the web, though, I dug up the full list of the Buffy alums, and the comment thread at this MySpace page includes other movies and shows for Buffy fans:
Amber Benson
Seth Green
Paige Moss
Clea DuVall
Eric Balfour
John Patrick White
Nicole Bilderback
Channon Roe
Christopher Wiehl

I unabashedly love this movie, and if it were not for the fact that I already own it on dvd (!), I would be all over this special edition. For the record, I also really love “10 Things I Hate About You”, and am kind of psyched to hear that they are purportedly trying to make it into a tv show.
