Such a frustrating disappointment

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Even though creating a modern version of Cyrano de Bergerac is not a novel approach, the idea is still fine if it is executed well.The issue with "Whatever it takes" is that the execution is worst bit. The characters are grossly exaggerated, the scenes that should be moving are in fact outright ridiculous and the ending is awkward, to say the least.As for the acting, Marla Sokoloff appears to be getting progressively bored with her character, as the plot is developing. As for the others, the characters they are playing are so grotesquely meaningless that no serious acting effort would have been needed anyway.Finally, the only reason why this movie is not getting an 1 out of 10 is that are a few brief moments in the movie that could appear funny to someone.

Hunky, handsome Shane West (as Ryan Woodman) thinks he's a "nerd". Mr. West persuades popular James Franco (as Chris Campbell) to help him get into sexy Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (as Ashley Grant); in return for Mr. Franco's assistance in seducing West's sweet 'n' sexy neighbor, Marla Sokoloff (as Maggie Carter). Think… "Cyrano de Bergerac!" Eventually, Franco strips to his thong, and gets tied up. All of these characters act like they are in high school… and they ARE in high school. Obviously, they have been kept back a few years. You could laugh along with them, if they did anything funny. So, how is West able to sleep at night with someone like Ms. Sokoloff that close? And, visa versa...I'd be up all night.** Whatever It Takes (3/31/00) David Raynr ~ Shane West, Marla Sokoloff, James Franco, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe

The Story about the teens do whatever it takes to get the girls of his dream.Even though this is just another romance/comedy teen movie that you probably know the ending, even though there nothing much to the story I still find it to be a very good and hilarious comedy teen movie. Character Floyd is the funniest of all especially the scene with the firework. The movie also consists of good cast of young and talented actors that makes this movie very much attractive and believable. To some this might not be as good as expected, but there one sure thing this movie is really funny and wicked.Rating: 6/10

I have read some of your reviews and i think that you must be too old for teenage movies, everyone who has put a negative comment is probably over 20! if you are sick of the same things 'boy in love with the most popular girl in school' or vice versa then stop watching them! teenagers however obviously still enjoy watching them otherwise they wouldn't make them anymore. Good quality film with comedy and good acting! nothing missing! 8/10! there are so many teen comedies that have done really well, and maybe a lot of them have the same storyline but it doesn't mean their going to be bad films! you also probably don't understand the content of the film well enough to appreciate its message! I think that if you are a TEENAGER and you see this in a rental store by all means get it i think you would enjoy it
