Boys and Girls

Updated June 26, 2020 | Infoplease Staff

In an ongoing quest to be light and lighter still, Boys and Girls is pure helium. Freddie Prinze, Jr. is one half of the equation hinted at by the film's unmemorable title. He plays Ryan, an uptight engineering student whose counterpart is free-spirited Jennifer (Forlani). Although they've know each other for years, amorous possibilities never seemed remotely desirable. Until college, where their surprise-free romance blooms. In its struggle to be cute and pleasant, Boys and Girls kicks everything else out of the equation: drama, tension, humor, involvement.
