I love this film, but...

I love this film despite it's many flaws. The great thing about is the radio show. He has some of the best lines ever. It's a great 90's film...reminds me of when I was a teenager. I just saw it again and the last 15 minutes are really corny. I mean the whole hill top speach about healing was just a little too much. I forgot it ended like that without telling us what happens to them. Did he go to jail? How did his parents react? bla blah blah...The should of added a written epilogue about what happens to who. Oh well...

true that speech was a little corny wasnt it.

There was nothing bad about this movie! When I watch it I can speak every line. I used to watch it every day when I was at school. I even had a line from the movie as my Sig for a while before I became a space monkey.

i agree that the film is great and most of the lines i love-it's just some of theat last speech that i found a little corny. i love it when he says 'rise up in the cafeteria and stab them with your plastic forks!'

Yeah that was genius!

What about, "If they knew anything about careers advice, would they have ended up as guidance counsellors!"
