There's the movie releasing next year. What are your thoughts so far on the trailer?

The previews reminded me a lot of "She's All That" a movie which I loved back when I was young yet...so I looked forward to seeing this movie...I figured it would be a cute "Ugly Duckling" type movie...and yeah, yeah...I know it's been done over and over again but still a good distraction from everyday life and you get to see a "Happily Ever After" while your real life continues to be a soap opera cliff hanger. :) But then I picked up the book and read it....LOVED THE BOOK!!!!!!! Now I'm pissed that the trailer seems so DIFFRENT than the books story line. I mean come on!!!!!!!! (it's like they're turning a Daria Morgendorffer into a: Quinn, Sandi, Stacy or Tiffany) How can you be so cruel?!?(less)
