So. Now you know.
I'm fond of this movie because unlike most of its contemporary raunchy teen comedies, I find it surprisingly good-hearted.
29: 46 Little known fact: "Vinnie" used to be a model schoolboy and a rather shy and diffident lad, until the summer of his 16th birthday when he went on a tour of the continent. For a reason no one knows*, he returned with a visceral aversion to "bloody Eyeties," which eventually expanded to all furriners.
33:01 Seems like a perfect segue to Happy Together (1989, with Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey, Helen Slater, and baby Brad Pitt in a very small role). It's an inconsequential rom-com which probably won't give you great numbers, but it's an entertaining enough piece of fluff to watch on your own when you're in the mood.
* I wish I could enlighten you, but I don't know either. Mi scusi. 😬

And now I shall didactically correct misapprehensions about some of the actors*.

Vinnie Jones is in fact English, switching to acting after a career as a professional footballer. You've seen him before as a kindly old monk:

You prompted me to look this up. The actor Patrick Rapold was actually only 28 when this was filmed (a decade older than Michelle Trachtenberg), but there is indeed an older quality about him. A more recent picture might convey character, but not hale youthfulness:

Lucy Lawless American? Gasp! How *could* you?! She's a Kiwi! :-) She's most famous as Xena the Warrior Princess.

In honour of the latest collaboration, I invite y'all to ponder: Who did it better, Mary or Simone?
