Better than I expected., 15 October 1999
Author: Kektokio from Sydney, Australia

What could be more entertaining than watching a teenage boy running around looking for a condom. I quite enjoyed this movie much more than I thought I would. Maybe it's because I expected it to be crap. Even though there were parts of this movie that were somewhat cheesy, I never for a second wanted to end the experience.

Fast paced John Hughes Style romp, 6 May 1999

Author: Robert Clarke from Wrexham, North Wales

A fun little film in the mould of the great 1980's teen comedies which used to star the likes of Rob Lowe, John Cusack and Ally Sheedy!! This film is enjoyable from the off, although the subject may be a little touchy as it centres on a High School youth (Will Friedle) who desperately fancies the school beauty (Marley Shelton)and somehow manages to arrange a study date with her at her house. After a while things progress well enough until he finds himself without a condom!. Where can he get one from at this time?, can he get back while she is still interested?, his journey takes him all over the city and gets him in to some side-splittingly funny situations and scenarios along the way. Stand out is Jennifer Love Hewitt as Friedles best friend who is madly in love with him without him realising!

Enjoyable teen flick- not for teens only, 10 December 2004

Author: Petri Pelkonen (petri_pelkonen@hotmail.com) from Finland

Will Friedle plays Brad Kimble who is dreaming of Brooke Kingsley (Marley Shelton).His best friend Leah Jones (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is dreaming of Brad.Brad's dream is coming true when he finds himself from Brooke's flat.But he runs into a problem when he realizes he doesn't have a condom.So off he goes to buy one.But that's not the only problem he runs into.So will Brad's dream come true? Or will Leah's dream come true? Trojan War (1997) is a great teen movie with terrific actors.Will Friedle is amazing in the lead.He's blessed with comedic skills.That you could notice in this great teen show called Boy Meets World (1993-2000), where he played Eric Matthews.Jennifer Love Hewitt is both beautiful and talented gal, who has been in many things, including "Party of Five" (1994-2000), where Jen played Sarah Reeves.There's also Danny Masterson from That 70's Show playing Seth and Will Friedle's real life best friend Jason Marsden as Josh.Lee Majors as Officer Austin and Anthony Michael Hall as Bus Driver are also pretty darn great in their roles. This movie isn't the most usual teen movie, even though the plot may sound like it.The word kafka-esque is mentioned in the plot keywords, which describes the movie pretty well.The journey Brad goes through is pretty surrealistic, like in a bad dream.That's what makes this movie pretty interesting.This movie can be enjoyed not only by teens, but also those who feel like ones, like me.I turn 23 today and I liked this movie pretty much, probably more than I should admit.So why don't you give it a shot.

Funny, witty and full of that instant teen "naughtyness", 12 June 2003
Author: JTheJman from Norwalk

All men have had that girl that they had their eye on forever but never really had the cojones to say anything. We'll in this movie Brad (Friedle) gets his chance when he gets into the bedroom "studing" w/ Brooke (Shelton), the popular blond that has caught his eye. Brad has no idea that his best friend since they were "sperm", Leah (Hewitt), has a crush on him. Everything is great until Brooke stops Brad's fun by asking for some protection which starts one hell of a bad night for Brad, just to get a friggin' condom.

The dose of humor also can come from Leah and Brad's friends; Seth (Masterson) and Josh (Mardsen). The whole movie has it's angle. So one man is trying to get laid with the girl of his dreams not knowing that his bestest friend in the whole world has the hots for him, all and all the movie is a great movie to sit down and watch, especially if Jennifer Love Hewitt is in it.

Hewitt steals the show and the only reason why 90% of the people watch the movie because she is the only one besides Danny Masterson that keeps the movie together. Will Friedle needs to stick at being the brother on "Boy Meets World" then TRYING to act in a movie. So the movie had it's funny moments with the appearance of Anthony Michael Hall as the demented bus driver wanting 65 cents.

I give this movie a 7/10 because some of the actors suck at what they do, but other then that this movie is a great movie because of how funny and witty it is... a "guilty pleasure" movie... :)

Why Trojan War?, 2 January 2006

Author: arabelamargean from Romania

.....Let's forget about Will Friedle or Jennifer Love Hewitt...There are 2 teenagers,a girl and a boy,best friends 'since like sperm',one in love with the other,the other in love with someone else...It's about the everyday struggle of an ordinary teenager who falls in love with only the most beautiful girl in the school and who now has the chance to live his dream ignoring his best friend's suggestions.Brad(Will Friedle) is a dreamer punched in the face by reality,but in a comic way,in an attempt to make him choose the smartest way.But will Rational take the same road as Love?What will he choose?

If you are a teenager or looking for a comedy with teenagers,choose this classic genre for it's actors,for it's brilliant comic situations and well planned plot,choose it to laugh your way back to those early days of your adolescence when all you worried about was how to express your love without being disappointed and mocked at...

Fun and quite enjoyable!, 22 February 2004

Author: smojlh1

I find this movie to be fun. It wasn't the best movie ever, but it was fun, and quite enjoyable. I had some great laughs! Love Hewitt was great in it(As always). And I liked the plot, it was cute and funny. This movie is definally not a waste of time. I would recommand it to anyone. I give it a 8 out of 10. I also loved the songs in this movie, I just recently found out the name of two of the songs that are played most. The one that plays right at the begining of the movie is called "Ill fall With Your Knife" by Peter Murphy. And the one that plays when Brad is in the bathroom with Brooke is called "The Word Behing Words" by Jeremy Toback. I love these song. In conclusion, don't miss out on this cute movie.

Pretty Good, 10 February 2004

Author: GrahamsSN19 from Chapel Hill

IF your looking for like a short teen oriented comedy this one is good, it some of the jokes are kind of stupid but still funny its basically about Brad played by Will Fridele, and he finally gets to hook up with the girl he's had a crush on for a long time, but it turns out she's really using him to mess with her real Boyfriend, and of course there's the "Best friend girl" played by JLH. Normally with these kinds of plots the guy after wooing his dream girl chooses the best friend with the whole brains over beauty scenario, and it usually annoys me but this time so the best friend is played by JLH so it's really a win-win situation for Brad. So in short I really liked this movie especially with the comedic plot if your looking for like a serious movie this isn't for you, but if you like just want to hang out and watch a teen comedy with some over the top humor(yet still funny) this movie is a great choice.

I shamefully laughed..., 11 July 2003

Author: Kevin from Virginia, USA

I found myself watching this film not too long ago, and I actually laughed quite a bit. But, on the other hand, I wanted to hate this movie for its unoriginality. Perhaps the reason I was drawn into it is because it is just like one of my favorite films, _After Hours_ (1985, Martin Scorcese), and it's a bit like _Better Off Dead_ or _Sixteen Candles_, which are much better pictures. This movie is enjoyable at times, but I still wish that the production budget had gone to something a bit more creative.

great fun, 2 June 2003
Author: rangostarr54 from usa

This is a great movie filled with tons of fun and excitement. Will Friedle is the highlight of the movie with his goofy quirkiness. J-love Hewitt wasnt too bad either. It is a close cry to Hewitts other comedy soon after "Can't Hardly Wait" as far as a cute teeny comedy. But, the plot does not resemble really. I really recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh.

Like a brush of rain, 16 February 2003
Author: greglas

Trojan War was like a brush of rain. It began with images, like most movies do, but soon there was sound as well. I don't remember any bears in this movie, but if there had been, well, what can I say -- if there had been bears in this movies, it would have been ursine.

The Trojan War was also called the Illiad, before it became this movie, but try as I could, I could not determine which character was intended to represent the immortal hero Hector, who fought on behalf of the Trojans in that conflict.

War is a tough topic for any movie, but again, this was not like Private Ryan. There was no "Normandy" scene. And like this, with these absences, we chip away at the movie by defining what it was not, and thus approach, elliptically, all that this movie is, namely, a brush of rain.
