2007

If you enjoyed the movie you will really enjoy this DVD with all the extra features. All of the actors do a fine job and the interviews are very interesting. This movie holds up after all the years. I love the energy of the performers and the backstory is funny and cute. There are some sad moments (like the unwanted pregnancy), but all in all it is really just about people having fun for the short time they are together. I think a lot of people really grow as individuals in this film. The final dance scene is spectacular.
