Mjeteconer Just perfect...

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A_Different_Drummer Those who follow my reviews know that I like to revisit films 10 or 20 years after release, looking for titles that were way better than the reviews showed, but somehow got lost in time.This is one of my faves.Prinze, as professional writers have said, was a lot like Kevin Costner, he seemed to be everywhere, and then suddenly he was nowhere.While the general consensus is that his later film work -- mainly weak thrillers -- was forgettable, some of his romantic roles will live on as long there are still two sexes on this planet. Which could be a very long time.This romcom at first seems simplistic but in fact it is not.Of the estimated 2 million films Hollywood has done trying to figure out how the sexes work (kidding) this is one of the best. And Claire Forlani is great, a pity this role did not bring her more work in A-list films.Also fun to watch a younger Jason Biggs ham it up, without being at all self-conscious.Classic rom-com.

kishoremitra This movie isn't really half bad. But it was a more recent take on of the iconic "When Harry met Sally". If you haven't seen the latter, you will like Boys and Girls. But if you already have seen and loved the Meg Ryan & Billy Crystal version, this will feel like a cheap imitation. And it is just that.....but made well. A little originality would be nice though. Seemed like the makers were way too lazy to work on an original story. Anyway, its not a bad movie if your expectations are appropriately adjusted. The actors' performances were reasonably mediocre but they looked good as most would expect. I recommend it as a one time watch.

ebiros2 The movie captures the outstanding beauty of San Francisco bay area. In reality, the area isn't as glossy looking (there are many poor areas, and poorly maintained areas) as in the movies, but if you look carefully, there are areas like those shown in the movie.Movie's treatment of life as a college student at UC Berkeley is just as glossy. UC Berkeley is only school that I know of that the campus is part of the town that the school is located. There are no perimeter set that isolates the University from the surrounding town. School merges right in with the town. This contrasts sharply with Stanford, that's across the bay where its campus is isolated from its surrounding town of Palo Alto by quite an expanse of land and roadways.Is life in school like shown in the movie ? Well that's made extra glossy too. The movie should be viewed as a situational drama that's situated in UC Berkeley. College life aren't like what's shown in the movie either. These are kids from super privileged household if they really existed.Movie's plot is very predictable. What else would boys and girls in college do ? I thought it could have had bit more charm, and/or more story to it. For those who might have fallen in love with San Francisco bay area after seeing this movie, the area is no doubt beautiful, but isn't as new or glamorous as the picture shows it to be. It is now an over crowded place with danger of major earth quake looming.

viperine It seems I'm going against the stream here. Pretty much everyone else here seems to like this movie, although I really, REALLY can't possibly imagine why.Until this day, I used to compare all crappy movies to "Isolation". A horrible attempt at a horror-movie, involving of all things a cow. But as of now, whenever I see a really bad movie, I'm going to think "Well, at least it wasn't as bad as Boys and Girls".This movie is about... eh.. two people - a girl and a boy - who bump into each other at random places at regular intervals. And when they do, they start a boring conversation that usually ends with them disagreeing over something pointless, and parting again. These dialogs are not at all funny, not interesting, and most of the time, they don't make any sense at all.The editing is also confusing. Entire years pass by in a cut without any indication hereof, other than the changing hairstyles of the characters. Several breakups take place, without you even knowing they were dating in the first place. And the shallowness - oh, the shallowness. You will hear dialog resembling: "So, I just got dumped. Are you still with your boy-/girlfriend, because if not, we can like hook up". And here I was, thinking romantic movies were supposed to have at least some romance.So, no romance. And seeing as not a single sentence or scene in this movie was even remotely funny to me, I wouldn't call it a comedy either. And the drama kind of disappears when the dialog doesn't make sense, and the characters are impossible to sympathize with. That really leaves an hour and a half of absolutely NOTHING.Watch at your own risk.
