Credits

Rated: PG-13; Genre: Romance; With: Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles

Two charming young actors are yet again relegated to charmless dreck like this, a sort of When Harry Met Sally...The Early Years, where he's a budding chef, she's a bohemian naif, and the plot's recycled from a thousand teen junk flicks (even Prinze could do better). The movie devolves into a fight-by-fight chronicle of their banal romance, with analytical into-the-camera confessions like Prinze's post-breakup declaration, ''Ouch, that kinda sucked,'' sprinkled throughout.
