I win points for preceding that, take away her glasses and overalls and that ridiculous wig weighing her down her entire comportment, Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook), the single-minded and paint smattered and object of gamble will bloom into "all that...
...producers must have meant to market Cook aggressively at one point. However, once the camera alighted on Prime, seen previously in both installments of that I Know...Summer series, they simply had to surrender the film to him. He is a magnet in front of the camera.

...charges is Navy Lieut. Paula Coughlin, one of 26 women sexually molested during last year's Las Vegas Hilton convention of the Tailhook Association, an organization of Navy and Marine pilots. Coughlin told officials at the Naval Investigative Service in November that the agent assigned to her case, Laney Spigener, not only invited her to dinner and a drive in the country but, as she was sorting through photographs of Navy and Marine aviators in an attempt to identify those who had pawed her, also called her "sweetcakes."
