Teenage tripe

Anonymous, not to say derivative, US romantic comedy about a mismatched boy and girl (uptown Selma Blair affianced to downtown Jason Lee) who run into trouble when he accidentally sleeps with her cousin on his stag night.

Woefully predictable, with a suspiciously similar character set-up to Just Married, it stays stuck in neutral from the opening scenes in which Kirsten Dunst lookalike Julia Stiles moves in on the groom-to-be.

Stiles brings a little pep to the screen as the One-Who-Might-Get-Away, but Lee remains a charisma-free zone throughout. Perfunctory and charmless.
