They remodeled the high school. It is now a geographical mess. Grr.

I'm always surprised at the number of people who have never seen this brilliant film.

One of only two movies I like Reese Witherspoon in.

This was back when I used to really like Reese. God, I wish she could go back to being like this.


Agreed. I used to LOVE her. I even did with Legally Blonde. But somewhere along the way I just... stopped.


ELECTION is absolutely brilliant. One of the best comedies of all-time and Witherspoon has never been better. She should have gotten an Oscar nomination for her performance.

A+

Once Reese won the Oscar, it went downhill. Not that they were all gems before that, but you can't really make a case for any of those post-WTL movies as being anything except bad. I can try to make a case for Just Like Heaven being a syruppy-sweet romantic drama. I can't make a case that Reese and Vaughn are comedy gold in Four Christmases.

Oh, and Election is awesome.

***1/2 / ****

Water for Elephants is decent.

I thought so too. It's not that I haven't enjoyed any of her more recent movies, but she used to be better than this.
