Average Rating: 
Rating: - a coming-of-age classic
I showed this to my high school classes, and they loved it. We had a good discussion about taking action in your life even though there are risks, being yourself, navigating the cliques of high school and forming perceptions. Patrick Dempsey was masterful even as a kid; his fans will love this movie.
Rating:  - One of my favorites
I fell in love with this movie from the first time my brother rented it for me when I was in junior high. It's still one of my favorites!
Rating: - An 80's Classic!
This has always been one of my fave 80's movies, but I feel it has less to do with true "love", than it does high school culture. It shows the cliques and the bulling and all the real high school garbage in a glossy way. I love the scene he makes in the cafeteria, it always touches me. This is a great show, but it's more about the politics of high school.
Rating:  - The epicenter of pre-Columbine 1980s trash.
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 ... Read More
