I feel like if I saw this when I was in high school I would love it as much as I love other teen movies of that era like CLUELESS and CAN’T HARDLY WAIT. Neve Campbell is my favorite here. Her performance as the physically scared, hair in the face, teen is great. I wonder if her and Skeet Ulrich were just like super tight due to both this and SCREAM. Rachel True is also really good in this and I’m surprised she didn’t do more. Her bullies though are so racist that I’m shocked it played in the mid-90s. I am also a huge fan of the story of The Money’s Paw and this is in a way playing on the whole “be careful what you wish for” moral.
