If you want another movie with Buffy actors, PLEASE please do Can't Hardly Wait! Seth Green, Amber Benson, the girl that plays Veruca, as well as many other 90s teen icons. PLEASE DO IT!!!!

"Exactly what I expected" hits it right on the nail. This movie gives you exactly what it promised.
Other comments already pointed out that many other actors appeared in "Buffy" beyond Eliza. It was a semi-common joke in the early-00s that every pretty actress in their teens or 20s appeared in either the show or this movie.
I've never seen any of the sequels so I can't say if they're good or bad on their own merits, but I do know that none of the cast from the original returned, and they all went straight-to-video. Those aren't good indicators, since it indicates that budget and effort went WAY down. It's still possible for them to be good -- I've seen plenty of great direct-to-video products -- but I'm not counting on it.
If you're looking for another show to CHANGE YOUR LIFE the way "Buffy" did, I'll recommend "Avatar: The Last Airbender", which you had on a poll (that it didn't win). It would be hard to oversell how good that show is.

A couple other Buffy connections than those already mentioned! It was filmed at Torrance High School, the same location as Sunnydale High. You can really tell when they’re in the courtyard, with the iconic covered walkway with arches (the same one the gang walks down at the end of the pilot when Giles says “the earth is doomed”).
Secondly, the music was composed by Christophe Beck, who also did most of Buffy, including the very recognizable “Close Your Eyes” - the Buffy/Angel love theme.
I loved how much you enjoyed this movie and appreciated the nostalgia.

Hey Cass, you miss watching Buffy, but *I* miss watching your reactions! Have you ever considered doing a reaction with your sister to any of your favorite upcoming episodes? If she’d even be interested or willing to, obviously.

Also Whitney was in The Wish episode of Buffy, she's one of the mean girls there, too, and the first one to get her blood drained by the Master in his fancy new blood draining machine

oh and the pacifier ring -- there was a "baby" trend in the early 00s, I think maybe inspired by Baby Spice? Pacifier rings and necklaces, pigtails ... it was icky and I did not participate, even though I was at the right age to

This is one of my favorite movies and I have never seen the sequels 😅 It's not like American Pie, which is a lot of (all?) the same actors ... this as far as I know has none of the same actors and went straight to video, I believe. I don't think you need to watch them.
