5/10

The film does boast plenty of shots of Russell in various stages of undress, which might be the most significant aspect of this minor picture.

A highlight of 1997 Slamdance Film Fest, this raunchy romantic comedy has a nice premise--a Romeo who won't take no as an answer--but no narrative or plot to speak of, though two leads are charming and Keri Russell shows potential to become a star.

Peter watches the neighborhood for entertainment, and, frankly, watching the grass grow would have been more entertaining for me than watching this movie.

They don’t make movies like this anymore! It’s funny, original, and surprisingly sweet at moments. It was the 90s so a bit raunchy of course, but a very fun watch.

This seems like almost the original of crude humor movies/romance. It was funny and enjoyable. I would watch it again.

A coming-of-age film with a bizarre premise, but humorously narrated. Keri Russell is shows promise as an actress in this pre-Felicity role.

It may be strange that enjoy this bizarre offbeat attempt at romantic comedy. But the concept of a quirky small town and a guy who is willing to camp for the entire summer for a woman he is obsessive about is original.
