The cast is so charming and assured that it puts across most of this with a reasonable amount of conviction.

Boys and Girls
Overview
Ryan and Jennifer are opposites who definitely do not attract. At least that's what they always believed. When they met as twelve-year-olds, they disliked one another. When they met again as teenagers, they loathed each other. But when they meet in college, the uptight Ryan and the free-spirited Jennifer find that their differences bind them together and a rare friendship develops.

This is less a movie than a casting call -- just round up a crowd of pretty young faces, fresh yet still familiar, and call it a job well done.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Compared to the wisdom and wickedness of High Fidelity, [Boys and Girls] is such a slight movie.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
[Claire Forlani] is way too classy for this sort of film.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
The year's worst movie.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
