Mandy Lane is everyone’s high school fantasy girl - you either want her or want to be her.
Or… do you?
All the boys love Mandy Lane.

Well, sort of.All The Boys Love Mandy Laneis a strange movie in a lot of ways.
And for the most part, he does.
The films main characters fit neatly into your standard teen stereotypes, but theyre all fairly well drawn nonetheless.
(Though the opening shot which focuses on Mandys breasts is a little hamfisted, really.)

The twist is, admittedly, pretty obvious from quite early on.
The groundwork has been laid, but theres something missing; something that just doesnt work.
Which is frustrating, becauseMandy Lanecould have been brilliant.
As it is, itll have to be filed in the promising failures box.
