Can't Hardly Wait (1/8) Movie CLIP - A Second Chance (1998) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Preston (Ethan Embry) recounts his attraction towards Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and how fate has given him another chance.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
After the Huntington Hills High graduation ceremony, the fun gets underway at the graduation party where an assortment of jocks, geeks, prom queens, bimbos, headbangers, and nerdy misfits unload four years' worth of emotional baggage at a house where the hostess (Michelle Brookhurst) loses control of her guests. Writer wannabe Preston Meyers (Ethan Embry) has been in love with Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt of Party of Five) since the first time he saw her during their freshman year. His tormented infatuation with Amanda has intensified throughout high school and culminates at the party, where Preston must now seize this final opportunity to proclaim his love for her before he leaves the next day for Boston. Preston decides to make his move at some point during the party, a particularly auspicious occasion since Amanda has just been dumped by her super-jock boyfriend, Mike Dexter (Peter Facinelli), who wanted freedom to pursue his testosterone-charged fantasies with college women. Cringing at this ludicrous love triangle is Preston's introverted pal and confidante, Denise Fleming (Lauren Ambrose). When Denise runs into her ex-childhood friend Kenny (Seth Green), the two begin sexual experimentation behind the closed bathroom door. Geeky science-fiction fan William Lichter (Charlie Korsmo) devises a plan to ruin Mike's stud reputation and publicly humiliate him and his meathead buddies -- sweet revenge for four years of agony. Former Huntington Hills graduate Trip McNieley (Jerry O'Connell) tells Mike about the terror awaiting in college where "Guys like us are a dime a dozen." Yearbook Girl (Melissa Joan Hart of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) wants everyone to sign her cherished volume of memories as the partying teens attempt to move into the uncertain future. Party house exteriors were shot on Rubio Street in Altadena, California, and other California locations included Johnnie's Broiler in downtown Downey, Dutton's Book Store in Reseda, Marshall High School in Los Feliz, and Union Station in LA. With more than 70 speaking parts, this film is the directorial debut of the scriptwriting team of Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont.

[ShyGuy]

One of my absolute favorite teen comedies of all time. I have this tradition of watching it on VHS every year around the time school gets out for the summer.

[SuperJumpReviews]

There is something about this movie that will always remind me of my years in High School. I look on my shelf and see this DVD and can't help but look at the cover and reminisce about freshmen year. Those were the days!

[nikw]

Old movies are the best, can rewatch them over and over again and still enjoy them.

[lpimentel]

One of the most under-rated Millennial movies ever.

[ankito]

What bugged me about Preston is he pressured his friend into going to a party she did not want to attend and then pretty much ditched her when they got there.

[Lynsisthewalrus]

Had the hugest crush on Ethan in the 90s.

[brenthatesashley]

Haha the dad looks all pissed that he has to take Preston to school.

[JerrBear]

In some odd way, their relationship works in the end because they didn't get together as freshmen. They both needed to grow a little more so they could become much more compatible. For all Preston knows, he and Amanda might have been the ones breaking up before graduation instead of Amanda and Mike Dexter.

[___Steinn___]

So many future star actors in this movie. You just realise it when you rewatch it today...

[kevzsabz]

Ethan Embry's look is kinda remeniscent to Ewan McGregor. Its like Ethan and Ewan are like brothers in real life even though they are not related. 👏👏

[abelmantor]

She didn't finish her pop tart. What a waste.

[hassanshah]

This movie introduced me to strawberry poptarts

[anthonycomeaux]

I love everything Jennifer Love Hewitt was in she’s my teenage crush

[aaronbeans]

I never realized until now the teacher was Jan from grease (Jamie Donnelly)

[akiame]

This movie came out 20 years ago. Holy crap I feel old.

[Up]

1:34 Who else was thinking...

I would've grabbed that Pop Tart...

[TAJY]

Ethan Embry has this wide-eyed look throughout the entire movie and its really hilarious....only to find out he was high the entire time during filming. It all makes sense now

[sebastienraymackers]

So weird to see the wonderful Lauren Ambrose, who was shooting the almighty Six feet under series at the time...I need to see that movie.

[Misskittyheart]

This is the 20-year anniversary I was 10 years old when this movie came out.

[CindyXdress]

The Very Same Pastry I was Consuming at that Moment.... epic !
