Boys and Girls is a 2000 American romantic comedy film directed by Robert Iscove and starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Claire Forlani, Jason Biggs, and Amanda Detmer. The film follows Ryan (Prinze) and Jennifer (Forlani), who meet each other initially as adolescents, and later realize that their lives are intertwined through fate.

Andrew Lowrey and Andrew Miller's script for Boys and Girls was purchased by Miramax Films, and Iscove and the principal cast was attached to the project shortly after. Anna Friel was originally set to star in the role of Jennifer but backed out shortly before filming began due to "creative differences". She was replaced by Forlani.

Released theatrically in the United States by Miramax on June 16, 2000, Boys and Girls received generally negative reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing only $25.8 million worldwide against a $30 million budget.
