Wonderfully offbeat film!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I suppose because I went to Arcadia High School that this movie is more meaningful to me than it otherwise might be. A movie about high school kids with some sentimental moments and it makes you reminisce on what it was like to be a high school student in the late 1990's. Every "nerd" in high school wanted to date the head cheerleader, and in this movie the guy actually gets to. It sort of reminds me of the movie "Can't Buy Me Love" with Patrick Dempsey except not as good and with a lower budget. Some people on here like the opening scene where hell is depicted as some sort of boiler room, sweat shop. I found these scenes boring and difficult to watch. I really enjoyed the rest of the movie.

I thought that this movie was soooo stupid!I mean the plot was stupid and entire story could have been fit into one 10 minute movie!The only good thing about this movie was Shiri Appleby. She did this movie a little after she started with Roswell.She is a wonderful actress and would be the only reason anyone would enjoy this movie.

This is the worst version of the Faust story ever. The characters are totally unbelievable and the writing belongs to grammar school writing class. The girl Henry goes after is a plain Jane. Who cast her??? Henry need not sell his soul for her. She is not the blond cheerleader type that high school boys drool over. This film lacks humor, acting and concern. All we see are actors reading lines without any feeling,

"Deal of a Lifetime" almost makes it to second rate. Trying to be a teen "feel good" flick with a message, the film has a few "moments" but nothing to make it worth sitting through. It features Pollak and Rubin in silly roles, a couple of fresh faces with potential, and little else. Very passable.
