Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Kagcan If you are after the funny film where a somewhat geeky kid (Patrick Dempsey) meets and falls in love with the popular, beautiful girl (Helen Slater) then give this one a try. It isn't the best film for either actor, but it is cute and watchable.Patrick Dempsey was riding high from his "Can't Buy Me Love" success. He plays Christopher, a high strung writer who wants to go to college to learn how to write. He gets stuck with the wrong roommate. Really wrong. Number one, they are a party animal. Number two, his roommate is a girl, named Alex (Alexandra really, of course!)! But the situation works for the couple. Over the course of the movie, the two fall for each other over and over. Chris gets his heartbroken by Alex over and over but he comes back for more. Why? Because its true love and that is what this film is all about. It is the classic story of two people meeting, falling in love, and discovering what falling in love with someone else really means for them both.This film would never win any awards. You will see better work from both actors in many different films. But it is an okay film. If you like either actor, give it a try. It is funny, heart warming, and romantic. Just give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

davedimmer It might not be a classic, it might not be realistic, but it is certainly entertaining. This is just a good, fun film that I just keep watching!Its a typical 80's teen college story, with stereotypical characters bursting from every seam. At times you cringe but unless you're looking for something deep and meaningful from the film or want to watch something "ground breaking" then just sit back and enjoy.

Veronica Lake This was the midday movie today and I saw Patrick Dempsey's name and I thought "Oh no! Not another 80s teen flick starring Patrick Dempsey!" Then I saw Brad Pitt in the opening scenes and I thought I'd stick around. I'm glad I did because it was quite a sweet movie and well worth a look. Patrick was great, Slater was a bit over the top but that was what the character called for. All in all it was a nice movie that had a lot to say about love and relationships. It falters a little towards the end but overall I really liked it and might even consider seeing it again.

Cockney-2 Have to be honest, it's not the best film I have ever seen, but the film does have it's moments. I have seen Helen Slater act better in other films than this and the storyline is totally unbelievable. The film is basically about a boy meets girls, girls helps boy do better in life, boy and girl get mad with each other etc you get the picture. Bottom line, if you have a couple hours to kill, go ahead and watch it
