Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Additional Footage; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; Director's Comments; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes Ryan Woodman (West) is an accordion-playing high school senior with a longstanding crush on Ashley Grant (O'Keefe), the most popular girl in school, and a platonic friendship with Maggie (Sokoloff), his next-door neighbor. Maggie is one of the only girls in school that class stud Chris (Franco) hasn't won over, and he hopes to remedy that situation before graduation. Chris and Ryan agree to swap dating tips; Ryan will show Chris how to be the kind of sensitive, caring guy that will attract Maggie by volunteering at a retirement home and saying sensitive and poetic things. Meanwhile the seasoned Chris shows Ryan how to successfully hit on the beautiful but shallow and insecure Ashley. The two boys get closer to their goals, but by the time of the senior prom Ryan has realized that his true love was right next to him the whole time. But will his realization come too late to save Maggie from Chris's devious charms? A breezy teen comedy based loosely on the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, with the message that you should always be yourself. Loosely based on CYRANO DE BERGERAC, WHATEVER IT TAKES is a charming romantic comedy set in modern day high school. The film tells the tale of an uncool teenager, Ryan (Shane West), and a popular jock, Chris (James Franco), who team up to win the hearts of their dream girls (Marla Sokoloff and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). Along the way, an endless barrage of comic situations adds flavor to the proceedings. Originally released theatrically on March 31, 2000.
Filmed in Los Angeles, California.
Shane West (Ryan) and Aaron Paul (Floyd) were roommates when they were both cast in this movie.
The climactic scene in which the entire Senior Prom ends up in a swimming pool is a direct homage to a scene in the classic IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

 Soooo Funny
normally i don't like movies with a lot of teen sex in them, but i thought that Whatever It Takes was great. i decided to watch it after having seen A Walk to Remember and wanted to see more of Shane West's preformances. i was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was. my sister even liked it and she's not one for chick flicks. i really don't see why so many people don't like the movie. this is one of the funniest, if not the funniest, movies i've ever seen. with a message of being yourself, how can you go wrong? -BTMOON

AWESOME
I loved this movie,Shane West was funny
and very cute.
I never saw a movie like it.
My favorite part is when he's dancing
with the accordion it's so cute but a
little funny too.
I would watch anything Shane did he is
an amazing actor.
He's going to be BIG!

Whatever It Takes review
$6.99
This rousing spectacle from Dreamworks follows Sinbad (Brad Pitt) and his band of pirates, who rob and pilfer their way through ancient times. Naturally this rogue will be redeemed, and the wheels go into motion when the Book of Peace, a hot property guarded by his good friend Proteus (Joseph Fiennes) and wanted by Eris, the evil goddess of chaos (Michelle Pfeiffer), winds up stolen. Sinbad is sent on a journey to return the book to its rightful owner, which means sailing to the uncharted waters of Eris' kingdom, through oceans laden with monsters and dangers at every turn. Stowing away for the ride is Proteus' beautiful and spunky fiancée Marina (Catherine Zeta Jones). Her presence allows for plenty of bickering and tortured romance in between the suspense and action-packed set pieces, which involve (among other things) tentacled sea serpents, sharks, and ghostly sirens. The animation is stunning: CGI effects ...
