Surprisingly well-realized teen party film about the last night a bunch of high school kids have as, well, high schoolers. ...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

With Can't Hardly Wait, I suppose first time directors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (whose previous credits include writing the script for A Very Brady Sequel) were trying to recapture the mood of a John Hughes '80s teen comedy. ...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Just like the teen movies of the '80s, Can't Hardly Wait is targeting the 13-to-18 year-old group by offering popular actors like Embry and Love Hewitt, wall-to-wall pop music (often, the film seems like nothing more than an excuse to ...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

There's one character in ``Can't Hardly Wait'' who is interesting and funny. Maybe it was a mistake to write her in; she makes the other characters look like gnat-brained bozos. ...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

We also meet Kenny Fischer played by Seth Green. (Enemy Of The State) He is a kid who thinks he is very cool and hip and he also thinks that everyone loves him.

Because I spend so much time with new releases these days, I don’t get many opportunities to check out older titles that I missed along the way. Granted, our attempts to add special pages like the ones dedicated to Best Picture winners or the AFI Top...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait (1998) review at DVD MovieGuide

Dark Horizons (Garth Franklin)

A watchable 'teen flick', though nothing ground-breaking or majorly exciting. Half the cast are fun and quite watchable (Ethan Embry, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Seth Green), especially Lauren Ambrose as the permanently-peeved Denise. The other half...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait (1998) review at Dark Horizons (Garth Franklin)

Anyway, you can wait to see this film. All it really has going for it is cute teenagers and a never ending string of pop songs on the soundtrack. To bad they had to put the stupid plot and dialogue in there, otherwise, this might be the perfect summer...read the complete Can't Hardly Wait (1998) review at filethirteen.com
