Whatever It Takes (2000) *

Directed by David Hubbard. With Shane West, Christine Lakin, and Marla Sokoloff. Now, let’s see: "10 Things I Hate About You" was a teen version of Shakespeare’s "Taming Of The Shrew", "She’s All That" offered a "teeny" adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s "Pygmalion" and a few years back, "Clueless" bravely updated Jane Austen’s "Emma". Now, it’s "Cyrano de Bergerac"’s turn to serve as inspiration for a yet another "horny-teens-trying-to-find-a-prom-date-and-get-laid" adolescent epic. Marla Sokoloff ("The Practice") is playing a high-school Roxanne.
