Directed by Howard Deutch

Doesn’t quite have the charm of the other Hughes 80’s movies.

Features all the stock characters from the 80’s: a conflicted male lead, the annoying and overstylish friend, a third dark and borderline creepy supporting male, a cute but quirky female lead, her cool girlfriend, and the cool girlfriend’s stupid boyfriend.

McCarthy’s a weak lead. Cryer is more annoying than he is supposed to be.

First occurrence of IMing on film?
