Audaciously staged as a little - more - than - real - time dramatization of a single night's house party, the
air humid with that special, pheromone - drenched mist of booze and sweat and young sex and aspirations towards same, Can't Hardly Wait is a reminder of the pop - cultural moment when Brad and Gwyneth were the hot celebrity couple, Jennifer Love Hewitt was an up - and - comer, nobody had ever heard of Selma Blair or Lauren Ambrose, and the likes of Smash Mouth and Eve 6 were planting
hit singles on MTV and the radio.
