Surprisingly good
A didn't expect much from this teen high school comedy. There are so many and all so similar. This is a bit above average and had a certain feel good vibe about it with some funny scenes. One of the better high school set comedies for a very long time!

A cult classic about surviving high school and coming of age, over coming class divide. This has inspired so many of the high school love story, rom-coms of the 90's and early 00's.

I first read this book about 16-17 years ago, as a high school sophomore. I loved it at the time. I identified a lot with the narrator, Charlie.

Great High School film
A classic Teen High school film, set around the American Football team as a reluctant player has to step in to the spotlight. Very funny at times with some iconic scenes. Most of the cast went on to become quite big actors.
