Garofalo is amazing, as always, and the film is almost about her as much as the leads. The recreation of the casts' high school years is wickedly funny and dead on.

It has charm, a sly intelligence, and the courage to go for special effects sequences.

One of those pleasant movie-going experiences that doesn't offend, excite, or challenge anyone. There are all sorts of likable things about it.

A frothy comedy with the most adorable buddies since "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."
As lightweight as it is, it's easy to feel real affection for the movie.

Okay, some of this is mildly diverting.

Sorvino and Kudrow, for whatever inscrutable reasons, seem to be having a blast with their ridiculous characters, and both shine in the loopy set-pieces and dream sequences that pepper the story.
