A Step Up From "Down", 30 March 2000
Author: (zimadrone@yahoo.com) from New York, New York

This is not a good film by any measure -- unless, of course, you're comparing it to the last "Teen Romance/Comedy" that was released, the dreadful "Down to You." In that particular light, "Whatever it Takes" becomes a subtle masterpiece. I urge everyone who saw "Down to You" to see this film, too, if only to wash your mouth of that tripe.
