Save your money for something good and enjoyable

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of my all time favorite story lines is when two people don't like each other and then fall in love. I could tell just by the description in the photo cover that I was going to really like this movie.Cindy and Ronald have amazing chemistry in this movie and both of their characters really surprised me. I thought I had the movie predicted that she would fall for him during their "deal" but I never suspected that he would become such a jerk in the process. He really did let it go to his head!My favorite scenes were of Cindy and Ronald together, my only complaint is that I wish we had seen them bond more before he became a narcissistic jerk. The scene with the airplane graveyard and the moon was absolutely beautiful. It broke my heart that she thought they were going to continue seeing each other but he thought otherwise. It's sad because if she had expressed her feelings right then and there, I do not think that chaos would have ensued as it did.I also would have liked more clarity on Cindy and Bobby's relationship. Did he seriously not call her from the first day of school through new year's? Because that's what it seemed like and if so, I have no idea what he thought he had to be angry about. The remains of their relationship seemed to be a joke to me and deep down, I think Cindy knew that and that was why she was dating other guys.Lots of laughs and tears throughout the movie with great acting by the main cast. And a baby Seth Green! It was sad but understandable why Kenneth would not forgive Ronald for what he had done. I am glad they all worked it out in the end like true friends. It is very insightful how Ronald becoming a bad person made Cindy become a better person. She saw first hand how she had been behaving all these years and how it wasn't worth it. Her character really surprised me. I wish the ending hadn't felt so rushed but it was definitely a happy one! I would definitely recommend this movie to all!

Ladies, you will love Patrick Dempsey transforming from a nerd to a very naughty bad boy. That was my only favorite scene, it's like he is showing off his true colors! I thought the rest was alright but there weren't that great enough scene's.I think there was a lot of whining going on too that would definitely put you off regarding girls grouping over Ronald and the fact, Cindy had kept pressuring him on pointless things like breaking up in public which was fake. I say they copied Grease or any other Greaser films just so Patrick Dempsey looked good in this which he did but Rom Com is definitely not for him to act in!

This is the best 80s teen movie of all time (period)The chemistry of Amanda Peterson and Patrick Dempsey is truly flattering and comes across so natural Tina Caspary does really well in this one too and you really feel the tension with her and Darcy DemossThe soundtrack by Robert folk in this movie is simply a masterpiecealthough one of the best tracks of the prom dance scene is not included in the soundtrack (actress) by randy hall ( the only downfall)This movie can be watched over and over again without disappointment.This is truly a masterpiece with Amanda Peterson at her best.

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.
