"Nobody Drink the Beer, the Beer Has Gone Bad!"See the ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ Cast Now — and You’ll Immediately Feel Old
What do you get when you put a bunch of different cliques together at a party on the last night of high school?
A guy set out on meeting his fate in the form of the most popular girl, a sarcastic/moody chick forcing herself to enjoy the evening, an Eminem wannabe trying to get laid (and not waste his flavor), a douchebag jock realizing he made a BIG mistake, and a nerdy kid seeking revenge on said douchebag jock.
That pretty much sets up the plot for the epic 1998 teen comedy Can't Hardly Wait — which turns 17 on June 12. Yeah, guys, we're old.
Get ready to go back in time and see where your favorite high school students are today!

Jennifer Love Hewitt, 36 "Amanda Beckett"
Considering she's still so beautiful, we bet homegirl could walk into a room and still make time stop (with her hair blowing in the wind, of course). The actress was already a household name when she landed the dream girl lead, having starred in 'Party of Five' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' Jennifer, who was most recently seen on 'Criminal Minds,' is currently expecting baby No. 2 with her hubby, 'The Client List' costar Brian Hallisay.

Ethan Embry, 36 "Preston Meyers"
It's unsure if he still has a thing for Barry Manilow ("Ooooh Mandy"), but the dude who was all about fate and got his gal in the end has created a pretty stellar career for himself. You might recognize him from 'Empire Records,' 'White Squall' and 'That Thing You Do' — just to name a couple of his big flicks. Next up for the father-of-one is 'Grace and Frankie,' which is set to premiere on Netflix in May.

Charlie Korsmo, 36 "William Lichter"
Prior to announcing "the beer has gone bad" and screaming "I can't feel my legs…I have no legs!," Charlie was a successful child actor, who starred in 'Dick Tracy,' 'What About Bob?' and 'Hook.' 'Can't Hardly Wait' was his last film before he left Hollywood and pursued a career in law. He's currently a professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio. Take that, Mike Dexter!

Lauren Ambrose, 37 "Denise Fleming"
Let's make something very clear — Denise Fleming is still NOT a tampon. After portraying Preston's sarcastic pal who ends up getting it on with Kenny in the bathroom, Lauren nabbed a lead role in HBO's 'Six Feet Under.' The redhead can next be seen in the TV movie 'Broad Squad,' alongside '90s heartthrob Devon Sawa. She currently lives with her husband and their two children in Massachusetts.

Peter Facinelli, 41 "Mike Dexter"
We doubt Muscles Marinara is still giving nerds wedgies and making William feel bad about himself. Peter went on to play Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the 'Twilight' franchise and currently stars in the Showtime hit 'Nurse Jackie.' The actor, who has two daughters with ex-wife Jennie Garth, recently proposed to his girlfriend, actress Jaimie Alexander, at the top of the Empire State Building. (A much better fate than ending up 40 pounds overweight and working at the car wash…)

Seth Green, 41 "Kenny Fisher"
"Yo, I GOTTA have sex tonight!" Never has a dude in film been more honest. Turns out the Eminem wannabe got his wish — thanks to being locked in a bathroom with Denise. These days, Seth has more than 150 acting credits to his name. Those include the 'Austin Powers' franchise, 'Rat Race' and the TV series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' He's also the creator of Adult Swim's 'Robot Chicken,' and has contributed his voice to the show more than any other actor. He's also been the voice of Chris Griffin on 'Family Guy' since 1999. For real, picture him rollin' — because he is.

Channon Roe, 45 "Jock #1"
You recognize him as one of Mike Dexter's minions, but in real life, Channon seems like a pretty independent dude, considering he runs his own business! The interior designer and his wife, Bianca, run In the Field, a lifestyle boutique in Ojai, Calif. Despite his busy schedule, the father-of-one still acts and most recently starred on the TV series 'Murder in the First.'

Sean Patrick Thomas, 44 "Jock #2"
He and his boys left Mike hanging when they met up with their ladies at the party — so much for that plan to be single all summer! SPT went on to star in two of the biggest teen movies to date — 'Cruel Intentions' and 'Save the Last Dance.' The father-of-two (who hasn't freakin' aged a day) can next be seen reprising his role of Jimmy in 'Barbershop 3' (though IMDB claims that's just a rumor for now).

Freddy Rodriguez, 40 "Jock #3"
We're not sure if he ever scored with his girlfriend and got to see himself in the act through the bedroom mirrors, but Mike's buddy ended up doing just fine for himself. In 2007, he became a recurring cast member on 'Ugly Betty' (he portrayed Giovanni "Gio" Rossi). Fun fact: He and his 'CHW' costar Lauren Ambrose both starred on 'Six Feet Under.'

Joel Michaely & Jay Paulson "X-Phile #1 & #2"
Luckily, they were returned back to earth after being abducted by aliens. Joel has appeared in several TV shows including 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' and 'Unhappily Ever After.' You might also recognize him from 'Ghost World' and 'The Rules of Attaction.' Jay has starred in several small screen bits. If you're a 'Mad Men' fan, then you know he portrayed Adam Whitman from 2007 to 2012.

R/R; Getty Images
Branden Williams, 40 "DJ Sammy/Homeboy #1" — 2010
We wonder if he's still not seeing no ho's, yo. Following his bit as Kenny's homeboy sidekick, Branden went on to star in 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later,' 'Never Been Kissed,' 'Crossroads,' 'The Sweetest Thing' and 'Entourage' (as himself). He was last seen in the 2012 flick 'Retreat!'

Robert Jayne, 42 "Richie Koolboy/Homeboy #2"
Prior to being Kenny's wingman and wasting his pal's flava (damn!), Robert was a child actor who you might recognize from 'Knots Landing,' 'Diff'rent Strokes' and 'Tremors.' He's had a few roles since, most recently starring in the 'Mythica' flicks as Peregus Malister.

Jaime Pressly, 37 "Beth/Girlfriend #1"
Ah, the phony friend who tried to make single Amanda feel better after Mike dumped her. Following 'CHW,' the now mother-of-one starred in movies such as 'Not Another Teen Movie,' 'Joe Dirt' and 'I Love You, Man.' But her most memorable role to date is portraying Joy Turner in 'My Name is Earl' from 2005 to 2009. (We wonder if she still doesn't see the Amanda/Gwyneth Paltrow comparison…)

Tamala Jones, 40 "Cindi/Girlfriend #2"
"Anyway, who does he think he is? Brad Pitt?" She appeared to be the more level-headed pal out of Amanda's ditzy trio — and had some serious raunchy dance moves (ahem, that scene where all of Mike's friends are grinding with their GFs at the paaaaawty). These days, Tamala stars on the TV series 'Castle.'

Jennifer Lyons, 37 "Rachel/Girlfriend #3"
"Seriously, and you're like Gwyneth!" 'Memba her? Jennifer has starred in many low-budget flicks ('National Lampoon's Dorm Daze,' 'Roomate Wanted') — and is even a lingerie model!

Chris Owen, 34 "Klepto Kid" — 2012
He had NO lines, but his actions spoke volumes. Those actions being, of course, stealing everything in sight (buh-bye gumball machine at the end). Prior to this role, Chris starred in 'Major Payne,' 'Angus' and 'Black Sheep.' But his biggest role came after 'CHW.' How can ANYONE forget the Sherminator in the 'American Pie' films? The actor reprised his role in 2012's 'American Reunion.'

Jenna Elfman, 43 "The Angel"
We're not sure if she's still judging someone for calling Barry Manilow at 2 a.m., but we do know that the now mother-of-two has had an incredibly successful career. At the height of her fame with 'Dharma & Greg,' Jenna surprised moviegoers when she appeared in 'CHW' as the angel stripper — a seriously insightful angel stripper. She's since showed off her acting chops in 'Edtv,' 'Keeping the Faith' and most recently, 'Big Stone Gap.'

Melissa Joan Hart, 39 "Vicki/Yearbook Girl"
We're hoping she hit her goal of getting every single student at Huntington Hills to sign her yearbook. MJH was a huge name in the 90s, having starred in 'Clarissa Explains it All,' 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' and 'Drive Me Crazy.' Today, the married mother-of-three stars on the successful ABC Family show 'Melissa & Joey.'

Jerry O’Connell, 41 "Trip McNeely"
"Trip McNeeeeeely!" The one-time high school football star who got a sad dose of reality when he went to college. Jerry, who now has six-year-old twin girls with wife Rebecca Romijn, has 84 acting credits under his belt ('Stand by Me,' 'Jerry Maguire,' 'Obsessed,' to name a few) and is currently starring on Broadway in the comedy 'Living on Love.'

Michelle Brookhurst "Girl Whose Party It Is"
After losing her mind during the wild party, the hostess took a break from acting in 2004 and became a stylist. She served as one on 'Lopez Tonight' from 2009 to 2010 and most recently landed a gig on the TV series 'TakePart Live' in 2014.

Sara Rue, 36 "Earth Girl"
She could "baa" just as good as any sheep (if you ask her, that's who she went to school with). The now mother-of-one made headlines in 2010 after losing a significant amount of weight (50 pounds!). You may have watched her on TV shows including 'Popular,' 'Less Than Perfect' and most recently, 'Rules of Engagement.' She's also nabbed a bunch of Lifetime movies. No word on if she still goes by the name of "Earth Girl…"

Brian Klugman, 39 "Stoner Guy"
The one dude to give Velma from 'Scooby-Doo' some much needed TLC. Sure, he was high as a kite in the film, but Stoner Guy went on to have a good career. You might recognize him from 'Felicity,' 'Frasier,' 'Cloverfield' and 'Bones.' He also co-wrote the story for 'TRON: Legacy' and wrote 'The Words,' which starred Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana.

Jason Segel, 35 "Watermelon Guy"
As if this guy needs any introduction! His acting didn't just stop with his giant watermelon, as the now well-known actor went on to appear in 'Freaks & Geeks' and 'How I Met Your Mother,' which ended after nine seasons last year.

Clea DuVall, 37 "Jana"
Yo, Jana, you still allergic and don't wanna dance? Clea was a fixture in the teen scene back in the '90s, having starred in films like 'The Faculty' and 'She's All That.' She took on more serious roles in 'Girl, Interrupted' and the 2012 Academy-award winning film 'Argo.' She recently starred in the Lifetime TV mini-series 'The Lizzie Borden Chronicles.'

Selma Blair, 42 "Girl Mike Hits On #1"
She and her friend had a massive crush on Mike, but he totally blew it when he attempted to hit on them. One year after acting in 'CHW,' Selma landed the role of virginal Cecile in 'Cruel Intentions' (ugh, thoughts of Ryan Phillippe from that flick STILL make our hearts burst). She starred on the FX show 'Anger Management' alongside Charlie Sheen from 2012 to 2014.

Eric Balfour, 37 "Hippie Guy"
Hopefully he's no longer licking pot brownie off someone's face (oh, we feel for you, Denise). Eric has appeared in a handful of films including 'What Women Want,' 'America's Sweethearts,' 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'In Her Shoes.' He has since starred on the Syfy series 'Haven' since 2010.

Nicole Bilderback, 39 "Ready to Have Sex Girl"
Unfortunately for Kenny, "Ready to Have Sex Girl" ended up rekindling her romance with her ex before she went all the way with him. Many of you will recognize Nicole as Summer from 'Clueless' (her first role ever) and as one of the lead cheerleaders from 'Bring it On!' She can next be seen as Pocahontas in the TV movie 'Snow.'
