strangely, I feel it not bad, even a little better than 'what a girl wants'. WAGW is totally a teen movie and I was obviously out of that period long time ago.Okay, I admit Heather Graham isn't good enough, but I do like the performance of Minnie Driver and, of course, Colin. I watched 'circle of friends' before. It also stars both Minnie and Colin (a small part tho) and Minnie's work in COF didn't strike me. But she plays Vera very well here. I guess it's the role that makes a difference. She dosen't look like an innocent teenager so didn't fit in COF well enough. But in HS, as a mature sophisticated and even mean woman, Minnie played it to full. BTW, Colin's scarf dance is lovely. :)。
