21 Reasons "Can't Hardly Wait" Is The Most Important '90s Film Of All Time

    It's a cinematic masterpiece.

    1. First of all, like all great '90s movies, the bulk of the plot takes place at a completely unrealistic house party:

    2. It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, who is 89% hair.

    3. And Ethan Embry making this face for the better part of two hours:

    '90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4. It tackles important topics, like "needing" to get laid before college:

    5. And drinking beer for the first time:

    (Check out this mesh shirt.) ('90s af.)

    6. And pseudo-deep conversations about the existence of fate:

    7. But themes are nothing without SUBSTANCE! And this movie has plenty of substance* 😏

    8. Like when this guy tries to hit on J. Love:

    9. And this guy delivers the sickest '90s burn:

    LOLOL GOOD ONE DUDE !!!!!!!11

    10. And this chick was woke before being woke was even a thing:

    11. And the subplots! Oh, the subplots. There's Kenny, who talked like a character out of Malibu's Most Wanted.

    12. Against all odds he hooks up with Denise, the righteous Every Woman:

    13. And by the logic of '90s teen comedies, it's somehow glorious!

    14. And then there's a band fronted by Breckin Meyer and Donald Faison that breaks up, gets back together, and plays a reunion show all in one night:

    15. And there's a foreign exchange student who only knows a few American phrases:

    16. It's just the best, most quotable movie of all time:

    17. Besides the quotes, there's enough random cameos to make your head spin. LOOK AT BABY JASON SEGEL:

    18. Look at Melissa Joan Hart getting shoved out of frame:

    19. Look at peak-'90s Jaime Pressly:

    20. And — lol — Jerry O'Connell played a guy named Trip McNeely, a name that sounds like it came from a Random Frat Guy Generator:

    21. Anyway, whatever. It's a great movie and if you've got two hours free you should watch it and relive the '90s glory:

    (It's currently streaming on Netflix!!!)
