this came on THIS TV not too long ago...and I was like, OH man! Freddie Prinze, JR.. I wanna see whats going on and whats gonna happen? you see, He didn't take it as far as that cat who dated Jen Fisher in the office, you know who Im talking about, and how he really can make a gay sound and lisp and stuff... well, this was Freddie being with a girl on a college campus, and only being friends with this girl who like likes having sex. It sounds good... and then, that's what I found out.....I just didn't like it, and they might not make another one like it together again, BUT Freddie will! come on. I do have to write a little bit more and I will try to get this published as soon as possible

Jennifer Burrows (Claire Forlani) and Ryan Walker (Freddie Prinze Jr.) first time meet on a flight to LA as kids. Four years later, they both go to the same high school. She's the home coming queen and a free spirit. He's the lowly geeky mascot. Then at Berkeley, he's the geeky guy with high school girlfriend Betty (Alyson Hannigan) who's going away to Seattle. He has a roommate (Jason Biggs), and runs into Jennifer again who gets dumped by her committed boyfriend.What's with Jason Biggs' hair? Forlani's character is wildly inconsistent. Her persona is a little more serious than this free spirit character. Freddie is not the geeky boy type. They're both miscast for their roles. There isn't anything undeniably wrong with this movie, but it just doesn't have the charm. It doesn't have any comedy either.

It seems I'm going against the stream here. Pretty much everyone else here seems to like this movie, although I really, REALLY can't possibly imagine why.Until this day, I used to compare all crappy movies to "Isolation". A horrible attempt at a horror-movie, involving of all things a cow. But as of now, whenever I see a really bad movie, I'm going to think "Well, at least it wasn't as bad as Boys and Girls".This movie is about... eh.. two people - a girl and a boy - who bump into each other at random places at regular intervals. And when they do, they start a boring conversation that usually ends with them disagreeing over something pointless, and parting again. These dialogs are not at all funny, not interesting, and most of the time, they don't make any sense at all.The editing is also confusing. Entire years pass by in a cut without any indication hereof, other than the changing hairstyles of the characters. Several breakups take place, without you even knowing they were dating in the first place. And the shallowness - oh, the shallowness. You will hear dialog resembling: "So, I just got dumped. Are you still with your boy-/girlfriend, because if not, we can like hook up". And here I was, thinking romantic movies were supposed to have at least some romance.So, no romance. And seeing as not a single sentence or scene in this movie was even remotely funny to me, I wouldn't call it a comedy either. And the drama kind of disappears when the dialog doesn't make sense, and the characters are impossible to sympathize with. That really leaves an hour and a half of absolutely NOTHING.Watch at your own risk.

This film reminds me another one: "When Harry met Sally" with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, a friendship between them for many years, with ups and downs, with different couples and respective break-ups and finally they found out they were meant one for each other that they are perfectly together in love. But this latest one with Freddy Prinze Jr and Claire Forlani is funny, touching and sweet too, the formula worked and they had love chemistry on screen, Freddy's character is more serious and a little nerdy and Claire's character is outgoing, strong-minded, impulsive, enjoying life day to day, but anyway they were the right couple in the end.
