Release date: April 23, 1999 The United States
again saw the "old film" in the number one theater in the United States .
This is not an absurd high school comedy. It may be said to be an exaggerated reality. Although some people's behavior seems to be true Extraordinary, but more popular and spiritual and realistic.

Compared with the poor and depressing school years I have experienced, I can't help but wonder what's life, what is the meaning of the rules and scores that mediocre teachers who are not necessarily bad guys always emphasize. The previous school education was simply harmful to human nature.

    The creator's dedication to the story and its characters, as well as the effort to tell a good story in a variety of audio-visual languages, is evident, Alexander Payne's film has enough attention-grabbing qualities, the film's propensity to form. It ignores the potential of binary opposition in the subject matter and instead introduces a mixture of symbolic perspectives. At the same time, the narrative of the film also has a Woody Allen-style drama style where the plot has a resolution but the characters do not change.

    Witherspoon does a good job, it's really annoying.

    Dave Novotny: That's the whole point! I've got the whole thing right here, I just need to get it out there. And Tracy wants me to write it so she can read it. It's beautiful.

  • [Dave's affair with Tracy has been discovered]

    Dave Novotny: [tearfully] Tracy's mom, she doesn't understand.

    Walt Hendricks: No, I'd say she doesn't. The fact is I have never seen a mother so upset. All right, I know what Tracy told her mother, what her mother told me, I need to hear this from you, because I have a legal responsibility here. Let me ask you this... Did you cross the line with this girl?

    Dave Novotny: I... We... We're in love.
