Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Tango and Cash I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it! Every line of dialogue, every character, the setting, the music, the plot, the ending - everything is cliché. It's just a formula. Here's a list: high school setting, nerd/cool transformation, football player guy/cheerleader girl combination, nerd friends/jock friends, reversal of popularity/coolness by someone who formerly had popularity/coolness, the sentimental seriousness near the end of the movie with the soft rock 80s music playing in the background, and ... and this is the best of the whole lot ... the slow clap at the end of the movie cheering him on.No kidding!! A slow clap develops and develops and then everyone's cheering and everything's great! But it's serious!!! I'm not sure if this is a 1 or a 10 or somewhere in between. It's baffling! Someone could have written this whole script in half a day, the plot is so cliché and formulaic that, when you add the cliché characters in the mix, and the cliché setting, the script virtually writes itself. Think about it. You're a writer in Hollywood in the 80s and you throw the plot, setting, and characters together in your mind and you would just naturally start writing because it's so easy, it's so so easy, the whole script is already written for you, you just have to fill it in. This is a paint by numbers movie.

SnoopyStyle Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey) is a nerdy kid. Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) is the school queen bee cheerleader. Her mother would like her to go out with nice boys like the Miller lawnboy instead of her narcissistic football player boyfriend Bobby. Bobby is now in college and has left Cindy behind. She ruins her mom's jacket and needs to replace it. Ronald is tired of playing cards with his dorky friends. He sees a distraught Cindy at the mall. Instead of buying a telescope, he comes up with a scheme to become popular by pretending to date for one month. His little brother Chuckie (Seth Green) is suspicious.This one does a switch with the normal teen movie cliché and gives the guy an exterior makeover. I didn't see the appeal of Dempsey or his character back in the day. I guess many others saw the McDreamy hidden underneath. It still baffles me a little but at least he's a neurosurgeon on the TV show. The formula works to a limited extend. Amanda Peterson does well to transition from shallow queen bee into a deeper pool. She's a great 'Where are they now?' actress. It's also fun to see a young Seth Green. The climatic lunch encounter is way too earnest which this movie suffers from time to time. Ronald's (cool?) outfit is ridiculously hilarious. It could all work if I actually like Dempsey and his character.

yestesfa I love watching cheesy 80's movies.So, I had to watch Can't Buy Me Love as soon as I found out about it. It is a hilarious movie and teaches important lessons about popularity and high school life. Amanda Peterson plays as Cindy, the most popular girl at school. While, Patrick Dempsey is Ronald, a nerd who wants to fit in with the cool kids. I think that this is one of the best 80's teen comedies. I've seen it ten times and I'm still not tired of it. This movie is different from the other teen comedies of the era because the actors are not stereotypical in their roles. They are original and very funny.Can't By Me Love is worth watching and will not disappoint.

goatboy123 Did you ever want to buy your way into the cool crowd? Yeah, unless you were already in it we all thought about it at one point or another but in the movie I'm reviewing this time, Can't Buy me Love, Ronny Miller played by Patrick Dempsey actually got a chance to. In this movie which I stumbled upon one early Saturday morning while watching HBO as a kid, Ronny Miller saves up one-thousand dollars for a telescope that he earns from mowing lawns. When he goes to buy the telescope he notices Cindy Mancini, played by Amanda Peterson, who of course is the most popular girl in school in need of some help. She tells him that she ruined her mothers dress and that she has no way of replacing it. Ronny decides to buy her a new one in exchange for a date that he hopes will make him popular.I didn't know why I loved this movie as a kid so much. There was no slapstick comedy,no crazy characters or even any action but maybe when I look back that's what I loved about it so much.It just felt real. It felt like typical high school even though I didn't truly know what that was since I was only ten. My favorite part of the movie was that they cast a young Seth Green as the role of Ronnys little brother.For this movie I'll give it four Seth greens out of five only for the fact that every time this movie is on no matter what part it's at I'll have to sit and watch it to the end.
