Keanu steps out
My fondest memory of this film is of watching Reeves and Laughlin dance to George Clinton's "Baby Boy."Reeves, apparently, really is a ballroom dancer, and he is elegance itself in this sequence--right up to the moment when he slips on a wet spot on the floor and falls into a table.The rest of the film is a pleasant diversion, without giving the brainpan much of a workout.It builds humorously enough on its premise--that a cheerleader can learn to love a nerd--then cruises to its inevitable conclusion.Of course, it helps when the nerd is as handsome as Keanu Reeves.Look for Tiny Lister in a small role as the bartender who slips Reeves a mickey.This one has a great soundtrack, by the way, and it demonstrates once again that Reeves is underused as a romantic lead.score 7/10
