...doesn't stink. August and director Doug Liman, of that lovely L.A. fable Swingers, have many amusing tricks to play on you. Ronna (Polley) is substituting for Simon (Desmond Askew), now off to Vegas, who retails drugs on the side. Soap opera stars Adam (Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) want to buy some from Ronna, who needs rent money. Claire (Holmes) thinks that's all very cool, until she is left as collateral with Simon's evil wholesaler Todd (Timothy Olyphant). The movie is rather too frolicsome about drug use, but it carries an internal message...
...worth following because it forks into a second story--Simon and his friend Marcus (Taye Diggs) go to a Vegas lap-dance parlor and play with gunfire--and a third, involving Adam, Zack and a narc (William Fichtner) who comes on to them like a Mark Fuhrman on Viagra. Though some of these folks shade into their 30s, all act like teenagers. The movie is set on Christmas Eve, but emotionally it's Mischief Night, when kids will do anything for the freewheeling hell of it.

And here the plot gets entirely silly. Not only do spirits manage to communicate with mortals through their own private adult website, but complete absurdity ensues when the great minds are reincarnated in the bodies of the city's residents. At one point the spirit of Nicola Tesla "screws" itself into the skull of a wino "like a genie into a bottle...
...recognition. I recognize that this movie is based on the Cinderella prototype. Set in a trendy and capricious L.A. high-school, She's All That is a fairy tale about the undoing of the golden age of senior class president, honor student and captain to the soccer team, Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze, Jr.). His status is threatened when his prom queen shoo-in girlfriend (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) returns from spring break with a tattoo and a new boyfriend, in the form of a Brock Hudson, played by Matthew Lillard to stunning heights of distaste. Best friend and rival Dean...
...Following the path of his idols, Thomas does some raging against the Establishment himself. "In the lead singer Zack De La Rocha's words, 'Anger is a gift,' the music stops and he whispers just those words," he said. "I believe it. Focusing anger on social injustice gets you more passionate about issues...
