Then watch "The O.C." Its writers must have stayed up nights in the film library, scouring B-movies for dialogue to steal. I've never seen such an awful assemblage of dead cliches, recycled plot, and Novocained faces. I'll cut Peter Gallagher some slack for his role in this piece of taxidermy because he's already proved his talent. The rest of the cast really should retreat to daytime drama or clerking at the 7-11.
