Review of Coming Soon

Coming Soon (1999)
2/10
Unlikable characters ruin it
13 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Having been compared to the American Pie franchise but as a whole, Coming soon isn't near the level of American Pie in its writing, comedy, storylines and overall atmosphere.

First the lead characters in this film are seemingly unlikable and have that "rich, spoiled, snobby" aura about them. The lead character of Stream comes across as dull, clueless yet slutty. We see her in one scene putting an ad on a blog trying to get herself laid. Everything seems as if she/they were rushing it, considering they were only high school students. The dialogue is filled with constant sex talk which becomes irritating after a while.

Ryan Reynolds (in one of his earlier film roles) is the highlight. Although the events which occur with his character are rather predictable, he manages to stand out.
