Plot Outline (From the Sony Official site for "Can't Hardly Wait")
Now that the graduation ceremony is over at Huntington High,
it is time for the real festivities to begin at THE PARTY.
Aspiring writer Preston Meyers (Embry) has been in love with beautiful
class knock-out Amanda Beckett (Hewitt) since freshman year.
Now is his big chance to proclaim his adoration for her before he
leaves town the next day. Preston's shy confidante Denise Fleming (Ambrose)
winces when Preston decides to make his move now that Amanda has just
been dumped by super-jock boyfriend Mike Dexter (Facinelli). William Lichter (Korsmo),
a sci-fi geek, has a plan to ruin Mike's stud reputation. Denise stumbles into
an unlikely situation and hooks up with ex-childhood friend turned "homeboy"
Kenny Fisher (Green). All this and more as these teenagers search for
their next move while making a statement about their future and their past.
Jennifer Love Hewitt's first movie since "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
looks like a slam dunk in the teen market. It's graduation time at
Huntington Hills High, and romance is getting complicated for the sexy
Amanda (Love Hewitt) and her star-crossed beaus, the nerdy Preston (Ethan
Embry) and hunky Mike (Peter Facinelli). A comedy in the "Fast Times at
Ridgemont High" vein, look for appearances from Sabrina's Melissa Joan Hart
and Dharma & Greg's Jenna Elfman.
