This movie -- which is *terrible*, Ryan Reynolds has come a long way -- premiered April 1st, 2002\. Exactly 20 years ago! The traditional gift for twenty years is china, so I hope Blake got him some beautiful salad plates. As you might expect, this moment was celebrated contemporaneously via copious Going Out Tops and a lot of men with very spiky hair. Let's put on our platform flip-flops and climb into the time machine.
