Wistful teen romantic comedy! Set in the 80s! Soundtrack by Yo La Tengo!

Forget the part about the hazy nostalgia of lost youthful love, though. For verisimilitude, movies like this should include a coda in which twenty years later the protagonists find each other on Facebook and compare results on the Which Hair Metal Song Are You? quiz. But, you know, wistfully.

I give this sad and eye-opening film nine million stars.
