She isn't. What she is is a female lead with big knockers, but
her Mom died, and she's a withdrawn high school art student, and
Freddie Prinze, Jr., he's the high school hunk, but his
girlfriend dumps him for a shining star on MTV's The Real World (Matthew
Lillard). Prinze's world is rocked. His position at the top of
the social totem pole is threatened. So he takes a bet. He can
make any girl in high school a prom queen. Do they choose a fat
girl with acne? No. Do they choose a girl with a wanderng eye? No.
Do they choose a girl with a palsy? No. They choose the girl with
the big knockers.
And guess what? She cleans up real nice, becomes muy populare,
and realizes that with popularity comes detriments. Not fat, acne-laden,
palsied detriments. But a few lesser downsides. In the end,
lessons are learned. Important lessons. Most important lesson? It
is good to have big knockers.
The film can be recommended for one reason and one reason only -
Lillard's performance as the self-absorbed "star" of
The Real World. His funky dance at one of the high school parties
(the median income for a California high schooler in modern film
appears to be approximately $102,000) is hilarious and merited a
rewind.
