This movie is and will always be a timeless classic for a reason and that it is because it's iconic in the true meaning of the word iconic. Even tough it is a 90s/00s high school fantasy like many that came after, it is still the one that actually feels like the snapshot of a generation: the characters, the catch phrases, the jokes, the dialect, the fashion (OMG THE FASHION), the soundtrack... everything in it is truly iconic in the sense that it represents a time so beautifully done even if it is embellished (and isn't that true for everything that is actually iconic?) -- also, it being so lighhearted contributes to it as it feels like watching an old tape from a bunch of 90s high-schoolers at times. People complain the plot falls on the mundane side at times, but that it is what makes it special, it somewhat feels like a slice of life, a slice of time. A delight to watch!
