Review of Trojan War

Trojan War (1997)
Awful take on '80's teen comedies falls flat, though director Huang tries
17 February 1999
"Trojan War" is a poorly written and acted take-off on "Booty Call" and all the '80's John Hughes teen flicks. The only thing to admire in this mess is George Huang's (Swimming With Sharks) great directing job. He tries, often using references to older movies, T.V. shows, and even adds in a fun cameo from Anthony Michael Hall, but he can't save the weak premise. It didn't surprise me this went straight to tape. Jennifer "Love" Hewitt is pretty, but obnoxious and Will Friedle tries, but his character is too stupid to be likable. My advice, rent any '80's teen flick or even "Booty Call," even though that was awful, it wasn't as bad as this garbage.
