## Jenna Dewan

Well, she looks adorable. And also as if she'd be all set if a picturesque dance battle broke out at the post-party.

## Rachel Griffiths

Please do yourself a favor and watch this movie again, and marvel at how Rachel swallows the end of at LEAST half her lines. She just suddenly devolves into a whistly little whisper. It's like she decided this character -- a principal, and a prickly one at that -- decided not to finish any of her thoughts as a way of testing whether the kids were ACTUALLY listening to her.

## Josh Henderson

His character is a douche cheeseball in the movie, and this photo is kind of leaning into that -- but, I say that with great affection, as he totally won me over when he was John Ross on the Dallas reboot that I still deeply miss.

## Drew Sidora

That dress looks like it should be the cover of a graphic novel. That would be good for the graphic novel, but not so great for her abdomen. However, Drew has given me the lasting gift of... whatever that song is that she performs during the Kids Go To The Club And Then Perform a Choreographed Dance section of the movie, because I bought it and stuck it on my running playlist. It's called "Til the Dawn," and I hoped that would come to me if I just kept typing, but no, I had to look up the name. STILL. Treat yourself.

## Mario

Mario is also in the movie, and is very charming, except for the bit where he muscles into Drew's performance at the nightclub and decides to freelance with her background music to show off. The movie presents it as charming because he's making her notice his talent, but honestly, every time I am kind of like, "This is not YOUR performance, friendo."

## Ashley Benson

Ashley was still on DAYS at this point, and I guess also wearing guitar straps as decorative belts.

## Ciara

SERIOUSLY, was there just absolute mass confusion in the aughts about what belts typically do and where one wears them?

## Arielle Kebbel

WHAT ARE THOSE SHOES. They have a toe knob. No.

## James Marsden

Was there a premiere in the aughts that James did NOT attend?!?!? Also this shirt is Exhibit A for why I avoid linen.

## Channing Tatum

And then Channing Tatum showed up.

I assume this was framed on their dresser for the entirety of their marriage.
