People who see pedophilia in this very cheesy and harmless movie, I mean! It's crazy how devoid of analytical mind they can be. Do they think it makes them smart being outraged for one misplaced word or expression?! What a bunch of sorry judgemental trolls! The professor had his suspicions about her, from the start. He even asked her if she really was seventeen. And didn't act inappropriate with her. So did all the other older characters, who knew they were on thin ice in this situation. Which made the movie funnier. As far as I'm concerned, I used to think it was hysterical. But only because I mostly remembered the funnier parts. Now I see it as a crazy corny romantic comedy, with characters that are a tad stereotypical and not very like able. Even the heroine couldn't escape making bad choices and errors of judgment. But it makes them real and easy to relate to. It gets very dramatic with the whole bullying subplot, but hey. Back then people were not as sheltered, or victimized, and learned to overcome the complications of life, at such a young age. So for that reason only, this movie is a nice wake up call. And frankly, it's entertaining, fun, funny and cute, with a soundtrack that emphasized yet again another ideal late 90s playlist.
