Populated by ersatz versions of stars who, in this case, are fairly vanilla to begin with.

It's a notch above average, but Whatever It Takes can't get too far above that notch.

Pretty lame stuff. Already it seems to be passing with the speed of light into the limbo of utterly forgettable "who-will-I-take-to-the-prom?" movies.

Makes little impression and is sure to leave few memories for a teen.

A thinly veiled "Cyrano," with the prom in mind.

It's guys like Floyd who make a movie like Whatever It Takes feel like high school. And the rest of the losers make it feel like a movie.
