How can a best friend become a guy's best girl? That's the problem facing Leah (Jennifer Love Hewitt of I Know What You Did Last Summer and TV's Party of Five), a sweet-natured teen with a major crush on her good pal Brad (Will Friedle of TV's Boy Meets World). Brad has a problem of his own. He's just discovered Brooke (Marley Shelton), his very beautiful high-school study mate, is also very willing. Once catch, though: no condom. So off Brad goes into the suburban night to find the one thing keeping him from romantic bliss. It should be easy. But on this anything-can-happen night of kook and catastrophes, it's war. Director George Huang follows his satiric Swimming with Sharks with Trojan War, a wild comic adventure about finding true love where you least expect it. Make a date with this hip, funny, fast-paced caper.

Summary: Cult Classic Needs to come out on DVD
Comment: This movie was brilliant, and marked by appearances by classic actors such as Lee Majors, as well as the lovely and endearing Jennifer Love Hewitt and the hysterical Will Friedel best known as Eric Matthews from boy meets world, compliments an average script, and along with slapstick comedy and brilliant directing, brings this cult classic masterpiece which has gone relatively unknown to a solid hit teenage film which would put most of the cliche teen drama/comedys of our generation to shame. Other reviews write this movie off as being cliche, what they fail to realize is that it was never cliche when this movie was made... great movies like this are what made it cliche.
Bring us a DVD soon, as I desperately need a new copy, and one brough up to the most recent technologies.

Summary: Strictly For JLH Fans
Comment:
The Trojan War (1997) starts with a pretty good premise, even if it was stolen wholesale from 1987's "Some Kind of Wonderful". Semi-geek virgin, desperately in love with the schools unattainable beauty who has become disillusioned with popular guy she has been dating. Protagonist's gorgeous (anywhere but in this school) tomboyish best friend is secretly in love with him? Cut to climatic party scene at which all this is sorted out.
Unfortunately they stole only the premise and not the actual script (or the cast who would have been too old anyway), so the production falls far short of its predecessor. It also falls far short of its 1998 successor "Can't Hardly Wait", also featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt-this time as the unattainable beauty. In fact the writers of that film appear to have taken the script from "The Trojan War" and re- written it for an audience with IQ's about 30 points higher. So my advice (unless you are a mega JLH fan) would be to stick with the predecessor and the successor and leave "The Trojan War" for its intended audience of wiggers and drones. The soundtrack is much better in those two films as well.
"The Trojan War" was pulled from its scheduled 1997 theatrical release because of poor projected audience numbers and filed away in the hope that Jennifer Love Hewitt's skyrocketing popularity (insert "Can't Hardly Wait", "Party of Five", and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" here) would change the equation and justify the promotional expense of releasing the movie. Even that was not enough for distributors to take a chance on the film and after a year of deliberation it went direct to video. And even with Hewitt's continued success in "Ghost Whisperer", the sales projections for a DVD release of "The Trojan War" has not excited anyone in the industry.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

Summary: I thought it was good.
Comment: I have seen it before on regular tv, one of those sunday afternoon things. I thought it was pretty good, but I also like JLH as well, and feel she wasn't in the movie enough. Thats my opinion though. Still, it was a good, goofy movie about teens and love. Pretty typical story line and was predictable, but how can one assume its not with the actors/actresses that are in it.

Summary: sweet movie--begging for a DVD
Comment: so when does your centerfold come out? Donde estas casa Pepe?
Customer Rating:
Summary: ok teen movie
Comment: Trojan war is an average teenage movie, and has a pretty positive message to it aboout safe sex. Even though it seems like a giant ad for Trojan condoms, it still has some charm.
