Home >> Movies >> Whatever It Takes

High-school senior Ryan has a crush on sexy, popular Ashley. Ryan’s best friend Maggie thinks he should get over it already. But Ashley’s super jock cousin Chris has the hots for Maggie, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes, including swapping identities and advice with Ryan, to win her heart. Everyone’s got a date by prom time, but does anyone truly match up?

In this hilarious romantic teen comedy featuring talented young actors Shane West (TV’s “Once and Again” and Liberty Heights), Marla Sokoloff (TV’s “The Practice,” Sugar and Spice), Jodi Lyn O’Keefe (She’s All That, TV’s “Nash Bridges”) and James Franco (TV’s “Freaks and Geeks,” Never Been Kissed), mistaken identities are part of the fun of falling in love.

"A fun flick!"
