Acid washed jeans, stiletto ankle boots, crimped hair; shallow teenage girls acting and dressing like h**kers -- that's the heart of this film. It is a Reagan-era monstrosity about a "nerd" (the extremely handsome and charismatic Patrick Dempsey...) abandoning his intellectual pursuits to chase some popular-girl tail. Actually, to buy off a girl who is a mental prostitute.
Oh -- but how convenient that in this totally inane fantasy world she actually turns out to be the one shallow girl with a heart of gold! And his plan just happens to work to turn him into the most popular kid in school! What is supposed to be at best a witty satire is more disgusting than what it purports to expose. John Hughes had already made a string of films that dispelled this kind of thinking, only to have it built up again.

Who doesn't love a movie about a nerdy boy/girl being transformed into something wonderful? Who doesn't want to give them their turn to shine??? That is what this movie is all about!
Nerdy boy falls in love with popular girl. Boy sees a way to get popular girl to date him, it goes good, it falls apart, it all comes back together...CLASSIC!!!! This movie is awesome in every sense of the word. It shows us the feelings of both the cool and uncool. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves the good ol' 80's!

If you like romantic comedys, this is definitely a must see. See Patrick Dempsey before his Gray's Anatomy fame. He plays a nerd at it's best. Amanda Peterson is also fun to watch. From the beginning of the movie, with the Beatles title song,you'll love it all the way through. It also has a very good lesson to learn from. Don't miss this one.

This is one of my favorite movies from the 80s. I'd probably buy three or four of these as gifts for friends if it was widescreen.
With Patrick Dempsey's comeback in full swing, why no re-release of this 80s classic? (It wouldn't need a re-release if it was done right the first time.)
