okay, i stole this from the stand by me board (an excellent movie, might I add-wil wheaton is an awesome actor, and a LEFTIE!!!). Anyway, just add your responses and we can see who is the biggest chw fan in the IMDb world...

1. One of your best friends is pissed at you for repeatedly reciting lines at random times (take the middle of english class lol)
2. Your parents (or besties or partners or whatever for older fans lol) actually BAN you from the DVD because you watched it back-to-back 5 times in one day
3. You know the sub-characters names (such as Vicki the yearbook girl) even though they are not mentioned in the movie
4. You know the entire cast's (im including actors with tiny roles) filmography off by heart (okay, that's not true for me, but half of it anyway)
5. You are obsessed with this movie which came out in 1998, when you were actually only six at the time!
6. You search everywhere for the DVD, and are so pissed when you can't find the DVD you consider going onto eBay and buying it without telling your parents (im 14, okay!)
7.Your new fave word is 'bullcorn'
8. You are in love with the nineties solely because of this movie, and third eye blind, blink 182, eve6 and the offspring

can't think of any more right now, but i inevitably will later=)
bye for now,
KackY
join the green bread roll society, you know you want to...

Whoah, yeah. I was 4 years old when this movie came out. I'm love it though! I have, like, the hugest crush EVER on Seth Green, so you guessed it. My favorite character is Kenny. And not just 'cause Seth is frickin' awesome, "cause the character was hilarious!

[–] ozluvva94 17 years ago

Oh yeah, I luv the nineties too! I didn't find eve6 from this movie. I'm not a freak. I'm 14. I'm going through phases!!!

[–] Kackie-eye-oh 17 years ago

Since when does discovering an American band that was big in the late 90's/early 00's through a 1990's teen movie make one a freak?
I was six when this movie came out, and I'm pretty sure they didn't get all that much airplay here on Australian radio, where their ideal artists are Pink and the John Butler Trio (both of which make me want to vomit).

Regardless, I'm happy I did discover Eve 6, as they're now my second favourite band (after We Are Scientists, of course=)). And, as they reformed last October, the prospect of an Australian tour becomes more and more likely!!!

Heard it last night and it was the first thing I thought of. I love that song...and this movie. Yeah, I was also 15 when it came out, can't believe it has been ten years! Maybe we will finally get the uncensored version that sounds even more hilarious that they constantly refer to in the commentary!

[–] georgeanng 16 years ago

This thread is so adorable! I was 13 when this movie came out and me and my sisters and cousin were SO obsessed with it I swear we memorized the whole entire thing that summer. Everytime I see any of the actors in this movie I immediately recognize them from even the most minor parts they had. While I was reading this board, i texted my sister "Anyone order a love burger? Well Done!" and I know for a fact she will know what I mean. Such a great movie for people around that age (12-15) it's good to know that 14 year olds today appreciate it a much as I did!

[–] BabyGrape 16 years ago

This movie came out when I was six and I recently watched it a lot in November because I was home sick with mono all month.

Anyways my sister who was a 90's teen said she never heard of this movie and I was surprised,I think she lived under a rock.

15. you're constantly going up to kids in your grade (or people you used to go to school with) saying "hey remember the time in..."

19. you only get pearl jam tickets if the concert is in august

20. if a potential boyfriend doesn't write you a letter confessing he's secretly been in love with you for the past four years...he's not worth it

1.You carry a backpack filled with sex goodies ready to spring into action.

4.You find some way to create cloroform in school without arising suspicion.

5.You call radio stations at 2.am to check for Barry Manilow as their nightly guest.

wow, reading this thread is really touching, I'm glad there are others out there who love and appreciate this film as much as I do. I remember this movie coming out but I never saw it until it came out on video my senior year in high school, so I always associate this movie with graduation. I'm kind of an oldie compared to some of you guys who were young when it came out but I think this film is really relatable no matter what your age. One thing I know for sure though is this, appreciate your high school years, make the most of it cause they'll go faster than you realize.

I don't want to be a vampire. I'm a *day* person.

[–] LadyLovie 15 years ago

even though you have the vhs or dvd of this movie(or both) when it comes on tv you can't help but watch it. at least your favorite parts anyway.

you wear a chain link with a combination lock around your neck.

you are N0T the father!

Your cousin coming on to you is disgusting....even if it's by marriage.

You know you're an obsessive Can't Hardly Wait fan if whenever one of your friends is pissing you off you say "Damn! Why you gotta be such a raging bitch all the time?"

[–] chuckdpe1 14 years ago

I totally use the line "Why y'all gotta waste my flava?" at work whenever my coworkers are giving me a hard time about something (usually well deserved.) Every time I hear Run D.M.C.'s "It's Tricky" I can't help but think of Kenny Fisher getting ready for business. Whenever I finish a six pack of beer bottles I have the strangest desire to put the empty box on my head and proclaim myself "the king of beers!" Finally, when you've been quietly harboring feelings for someone and you get a chance to actually do something with those feelings, it is better than you ever hoped or imagined it would be.

[–] dkamberi25 12 years ago

You listen to "Only You" by Yazoo all the time because it reminds you of the ending of Can't Hardly Wait.
