Summary: Good All Around Comedy
Review: I've always enjoyed watching this movie here and there. It's got a pretty good plot. The main character "Terry" does a pretty good job of playing the role of a male. Her brother is pretty hilarious. This is one of those movies that's always enjoyable to sit down and watch. One of the best of the '80s comedies.

Summary: A lot of laughs !
Review: I can't count how many times I've watched this movie. It will have you laughing the whole time. It's my fave movie of it's kind. It's very tasteful with no vulgar language. You'll come to like all of the characters... they do a great job. It's not just for kids because I'm 32 years old and can't get enough of it. If you are ready for some laughs, see this movie.

Summary: Great and funny
Review: I loved this movie. I could watch this a thousand times. Who hasn't thought of doing this at their school. It goes to show how a girl who is tired of being the popular and trophy girlfriend to someone who wants to go further in their profession. A great 80's flick.

Summary: Outstanding portrayal of teen angst and mischevious fun.
Review: Joyce Hyser amply demonstrates her potential as a major comedy film star in "Just One of the Guys". Hyser, along with a superlative cast, accurately conveys the choices, opportunities, and consequences confronting teenagers in the last part of the twentieth century in America. Hyser's character, Terri, overcomes sexist stereotypes and emotional resistance to triumph in her chosen field, journalism. She repeatedly faces ethical dilemmas, developing and maturing during the process. Hyser is joined by a superlative cast. Her character's brother, Buddy, is a troubled and obsessive young man who learns through painful experience the value of love and caring. The part of Terri's boyfriend is also well cast. Terri's boyfriend is an emotional cipher, incapable of articulating or realizing true love.All in all, an outstanding feature. END

Summary: Just One More 80's Teen Comedy
Review: 1985's Just One Of The Guys is an implausible, but amusing tale of an aspiring journalist, Terry (Joyce Hyser), who writes an essay about a female disguising herself as a male jock. The essay is rejected and to rebuke the bias she believes was the cause the rejection, tries to live out her premises. Getting a short haircut, wearing baggy clothes and deepening her voice, Terry goes undercover at high school. Since Ms. Hyser hardly has a boyish body, much of the plot revolves around her trying to hide this fact, especially in the boys locker room. Terry has a boyfriend, but she ends up falling for a quiet loner type guy Rick (Clayton Rohner). Finally Terry can't hide her feelings for Rick and the prom, she reveals her true identity by flashing Rick. The best part of the film is the interaction between Terry and her brother Buddy (Billy Jayne). Buddy is a complete pervert with Playboy centerfolds plastered all over his bedroom walls and his lines are the funniest in the film.

Summary: Teen Version of Yentl
Review: Just One Of The Guys is a teenaged version of Barbara Streisand's movie Yentl. In both, a young woman disguises herself as a male for academic reasons (Yentl to study the Torah and Terry for journalism). The main difference is that Terry only perceives a sexist split while in Yentl it is a reality.
so, girl becomes guy, finds wonderful guy while disguised as a guy, and tries to figure out how to win guy when she has been living a lie.
In the end in order to convince the love interest that she is really a woman, Terry has to flash her breasts (Barbara did the same but was below camera shot) for the then obligatory topless shot in a PG-13 movie.
Unlike Yentl, this is much more of a comedy and is definitely aimed at teens. Still, the humor holds up even if the plot was ridiculous (Terry actually changes schools with no identification, doesn't flunk the school she is not attending, pulls it all off without parents finding out (they are missing from the entire film)).
For those who are interested, you can check out Yentl with Barbara Streisand, or you can read the original (and better) Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy by Isaac Bashevis Singer (it at least makes sense).

Summary: Realist Reviewer
Review: Loved this film, filled with twists and surprises.. A full on Family Comedy, with an interesting SOCK scene.. Hope you and your little ones enjoy this family flick as much as my family did, about a young female writer in the '80's striving to make herself heard and not seen purely for her body. Switching schools and masking genders she meets the fallen man of her dreams and finally begins to experience life for who she is, and not what she seems to be.. A fantastic family flick.. loads of luck, Movie Matrix
