Cheese, anyone?
It gets stupider and stupider as time passes and it is kind of cringe worthy.This movie is about a school reject who has strong work ethics and who has saved his hard earned money to buy himself a telescope from mowing lawns. Then his pretty high school crush spills wine on her mother's borrowed suede dress at a party and is in a panic to buy a new one. She doesn't have the cash, therefore, it's a coincidence that the reject Ronald is at the mall at the exact same time as she is and sees her predicament and offers a sweet deal of buying her the dress, if she agrees in exchange, that he can ride on her coattails to popularity, of course, leaving his other nerdy friends in the dust who start to resent him. Cliche and predictable and over acted emotion. The dad and mom of Ronald are sickening leave it to beaver types and Seth Green as the younger brother only typecasts himself for the obnoxious characters he plays on later roles. Patrick Dempsey himself as the main character is too good looking to be a nerd and it's too easy of a transition for him to suddenly turn hot and easy on the eyes and the cheerleader sidekicks look like thirty year old women instead of high school girls. However, it's a movie that I can sit down and watch and since there aren't many anymore like that, I give it five stars. It's clean, teen angst, eighties cheese, but it's an enjoyable movie.

Can’t Buy Anyone Love
Great movie about making the point that being popular is what makes you cool, but rather being authentic to yourself & others. Also making the point not to abandon those who care about you for who you are, including the girl because she may very well like you.

Cute. Pretty inoffensive
Had to watch it again after the reference in "Easy A". Light romantic fluff. Seth Green is a little kid in it. And Dr. McDreamy is so young!
