*ahem* Don't look here :) This movie is for all of those who don't want to have a serious in-depth discussion 'ever'. I've read through all the comments and some of them are pretty fair. Others are umm.. well.. If you are going to rent a movie called "Trojan War" with Will Friedle and Jennifer Love Hewitt on the box, it's not gonna be about 'Helen of Troy' is it? I found this movie delightfully ridiculous. It made me laugh at the idiocies of Brad. Sympathise with Leah. And how come no-one has mentioned the absolutely brilliant *yet terrible* pick-up attempts of Jason Marsden (oh, there are so many.. try Step By Step) and Danny Masterson(now of "That 70's Show" fame)?? Josh and Seth, I think, are the funniest *and most stereotypically true* characters in the movie! But I honestly can't believe that a hottie like Jason would have trouble chatting a girl up. Good actor? Ahuh! Yes, the 'lunatic bus driver' Anthony Michael Hall was very funny. Lee Majors was wicked :) And Marley Shelton was brilliant as the popular 'bitch' that everyone in the 'lower ranks' of high school hates. If you are willing to suspend intelligence of any kind *it's ALL spelled out for you in this movie* This is the flick for you.
