Summary: Get ready to revisit high school!!
Review: Whoever went to high school will relate to this movie....especially if you did so in the 80's! This movie was true to life back then and it's certainly still true to life now. How far would you go to popular? Well, this movie definetly shows how far some people would!! It's funny, heart warming, and of course it ends as most 80's movies did....with the guy getting the girl!!

Summary: Great 80's teen comedy
Review: Viewed as a genre of its own, the 80's Teen Comedy produced some fun, enjoyable movies. One that holds up quite well is Can't Buy Me Love. Starring Patrick Dempsey in what was probably his best role of the era, it's the story of a geeky kid who pays the captain of the cheerleading team to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. While not entirely realistic, it has a good ending. The humor holds up well after 16 years, as does the movie overall.The DVD was hugely disappointing, and my 4 stars are based on the movie itself. Unless you consider chapter stops a special feature, the disc is devoid of any extras. The greatest offense is that it's presented only in fullscreen. I'd normally pass on a non-widescreen release, but my wife insisted on having it. If you have to have this movie, this is probably the best release it will see for quite some time.

Summary: one of my fav's!
Review: Ok...it's corny I know but I really love this movie...it's about a geek who lives next door to the captin of the cheerleaders and the most popular (and beautiful) girl in school....and she needs his help but it will cost him one thousand dollars! But will it be worth it in the end? He pays her to go out with him for a month....because "that will make him popular"!!! And it works for awhile....but what happens when they all find out about the money? It's sad and funny and will make you laugh out loud!

Summary: Funny Teen Fable
Review: Sometimes you can watch too many dramas, too many horror movies, too many movies that are just too serious. When you want a movie that is fun, easy on the brain, and still funny, then this movie is it. This movie is fable-lite, in that multiple morals are presented throughout the movie, but are somewhat camouflaged. Perhaps the biggest moral is that you should not be what you are not. Smaller, but no less important, morals might include knowing who your true friends are, friends stand by you when all others leave, love can not be purchased, and on and on. With all the morals presented in this teen fable, you might wonder whether I was joking about this being a light movie; not at all. The fable is presented in such a laid-back fashion that you may not realize that this movie is a fable. Patrick Dempsey is a classic nerd. He hangs out with his friends, equally nerdy, and plays cards (I am a nerd, I can say these things because I DID these things). Their idea of excitement is a new video game. Patrick loves astronomy. His friends generally believe academics in school are the most important thing they can do. Patrick has been mowing lawns nearly forever to buy a $1000 telescope. On the day that Patrick goes to buy the telescope, he sees beautiful Amanda Peterson trying to buy a suede jacket that has red wine spilled on it, to keep her mother from finding she borrowed it after her mother specifically told her not to borrow it. In a moment of insanity, Patrick Dempsey offers to give Amanda Peterson $1000 to buy the jacket if she will "go out" with him for 30 days. Even though Amanda thinks Patrick is crazy to think that everyone will think he is cool if he goes out with her for 30 days, buying a replacement suede jacket is more important than being seen with Patrick for 30 days, so she takes the deal. Of course, you realize that all this has to end up badly, but between the time that Amanda accepts the deal and the end of the movie, the viewer gets to see how shallow the difference is between geekdom and stardom, and how shallow the people are that determine which is which. This movie has a few outright laughs, and a lot of smiles and chuckles. However, it is a feel-good movie. The story is compelling and unless you are not paying attention, the story will suck you in. You stay because you want to know the outcome, and the story line is sufficiently interesting to hold your interest to the very end. In the event you haven't seen this movie, the ending is poignant, and worth the wait. This movie was one of the endless teen movies released in the 1980s. However, it has the distinction of being one of the funnier movies of the bunch. If you like light comedy, I strongly recommend this movie, even for young teens. While not award material, as entertainment this movie is excellent, and I give it five stars for being highly entertaining.

Summary: I'm into class...it's my new thing
Review: This movie absolutely rules. Although Patrick Dempsey plays his part pretty well, this movie is all about Amanda Peterson. She is the chick you watched from afar in high school but wouldn't dare to even speak to. Amanda is so hot in this film it's amazing her career didn't really go anywhere. At least we have this movie and, through Ronald, can live the life we wish we lived in high school... he got the girl. Damn.

Summary: This movie rocks!
Review: if you're an 80's child like me, you need to get this one! It's up there with all of the John Hughes classics, and until now, hasn't been available on DVD for a decent price. The soundtrack is great and the storyline typical 80's high school: popular kids and jocks vs the nerds and "losers". If you like Patrick Dempsey, catch him in the new hit "Sweet Home Alabama" with Reese Witherspoon.

Summary: ANOTHER GREAT DVD FROM DISNEY!
Review: After exceeding all expectations with their remarkable 20th Anniversary TRON dvd, Disney returns to their standard practice of offering less bang for your buck. The House That Mickey Built brings this charmingly winsome romantic comedy into the digital age with a middling transfer, botched menus, and no extras whatsoever. Oh yes, silly me...we DO get a theatrical trailer, just not one for THIS movie. Perhaps Disney expects people to pick up the BEACHES dvd to get the CAN'T BUY ME LOVE trailer. If that's their thinking, it truly IS a Magic Kingdom...

Summary: Regarding no WIDESCREEN
Review: This is Disney's reply as to why this and most of their live action releases are in full screen format. They say that DVD is ready for TVs of the future, which are widescreen. TVs of the future? What century are they living in? Check the Disney web site under FAQ. Do as many have suggested. Don't buy until they come up with a release in it's OAR!
