I suppose because I went to Arcadia High School that this movie is more meaningful to me than it otherwise might be. A movie about high school kids with some sentimental moments and it makes you reminisce on what it was like to be a high school student in the late 1990's. Every "nerd" in high school wanted to date the head cheerleader, and in this movie the guy actually gets to. It sort of reminds me of the movie "Can't Buy Me Love" with Patrick Dempsey except not as good and with a lower budget. Some people on here like the opening scene where hell is depicted as some sort of boiler room, sweat shop. I found these scenes boring and difficult to watch. I really enjoyed the rest of the movie.

I love Shiri so i bought the movie, but even if she's on the cover she's really just in the movie through like a stalkers eye view until close to the end. The younger guy in the cover wants her and she's like the hot popular chick he cant have, so I he sold his soul to the devil (I think...or the devil's trying to convince him to). it doesn't really mater. I actually didn't finish up to the end it was just too much but yeah I'm sorry it was bad, bad writings,bad acting, bad filming, directing whatever. I think the budget could not have been over $1000 no way. I have seen some great made for TV Disney specials and I recommend anything like that over this. Still love Shiri though ;-)

This is the worst version of the Faust story ever. The characters are totally unbelievable and the writing belongs to grammar school writing class. The girl Henry goes after is a plain Jane. Who cast her??? Henry need not sell his soul for her. She is not the blond cheerleader type that high school boys drool over. This film lacks humor, acting and concern. All we see are actors reading lines without any feeling,

This is an imaginative, visually distinctive film that stands apart from the current, hum-drum collection of high school pics, mostly because it treats its audience with respect and has the visual chops to back it up. This is a romantic comedy for kids and their young parents, with a smart variation on Faust as the agent for the Devil takes the soul of an amoral kid. It's a great idea for young people to be exposed to these themes--temptation, redemption--particularly in the post-Columbine period.
