WHATEVER IT TAKES (2000)
“Whoosh. Whooshed by time, by 9/11, by the last decade until it laid like the cities of Ozymandias in forgotten sands, this movie is but a twinkly molecule of memory. Something about a nerd trying to get a girl with the help of a dude, and another girl likes him. “Just pullin’ your dick, man” is the sole shred of dialogue I recall after 837 pints of beer 1837 other films.”
-Danny Gazelle
“Memories of this and GET OVER IT intermingle in my imagination like a lava lamp. No SisQo in this one? Wait. Shane West or Ben Foster/ One thing stands out in stark relief: Jodi Lynn O’Keefe (Whooshed away by time as well) begging West to be her date in a bikini. I was all, ‘daaayyyy-ummmmm. Who that is?’ Then I nevs saw her again.”
