It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I never actually review any old movie but I think this movie is worth reviewing, American R-rated teen movie have lost what I can say, the real comedy with a good plot, they always think, with cursing so much, do a lot of sexual preference stuff will be funny. Its not actually. Its do funny sometime but cant we just avoid the cursing sketches. Secret Admirer just need a piece of paper as the center of attraction and with that only the story is moving really well. I just need 3 other line to complete my other bad English review but lets give this movie a try, even though this is not a best movie ever but its still good, ever. Sometime, one good movie from 80s is better than 10 good movie from 21st century.

A secret admirer's love letter keeps floating around revealing the hidden desires of whoever the suspected author may be whether it's meaningful or whether it's misleading. Kelly Preston is so bad in this movie, and when I say so bad, I mean so good. Kelly talks a nice talk and walks a mean walk. Thomas C. Howell and Lori Loughlin are two bright young stars, but Kelly Preston is the prettiest girl in the universe. No biggie. She is so bad. Preston unveils her special and spectacular beautiful breasts on more than just an occasion in Secret Admirer. They are a sight to behold. Kelly Preston as well and it's way more than just physical. I hate you, John Travolta. Thomas C. Howell makes his last major appearance as a star in a really good movie. He seems destined for a long future outside of the Hollywood stardom he has achieved at the time as a child. Now, Howell is a man faithfully awaiting a comeback, that he rightfully deserves and as earned, like John Travolta! Lori Loughlin appears in her best role to date, by movies' standards anyhow (think Full House). Loughlin seems like one of those really pretty and really sweet girls that gives boys super crushes. I love her. Fred Ward is great and very funny in Secret Admirer. Secret Admirer is a really good teen comedy from the '80s but it is a good movie for all ages. It has intelligent writing and sophisticated humor and a creative story about childlike love and forbidden affairs shown through the lens of a journeying love letter. Kelly Preston is so hot in Secret Admirer. With Secret Admirer and Mischief, 1985 was a good year for Mrs. Kelly Preston, and for planet earth.

Secret admirer was a really funny movie about a love letter, that winds up in many different peoples hands and creates alot of crazy misunderstandings at the same time! Good movie with a premise that was actually pretty funny. This movie, while NOWHERE aproaching greatness does contain some genuine laughs. and was actually pretty good, if not great. It was far from the best 80's teen movie but the premise was actually very funny, not to mention original and the cast was great! The cool thing about this rather wacky movie, is the premise was actualy quite plausible! Plus it shows how jumping to the wrong conclusion can trigger crazy misunderstandings. This movie is about as 80's as you can get, but might actualy be worth a look for people who haven't seen it and just want a funny, if not unique or exceptional, light, straightforward comedy.

"Secret Admirer" is one of those typical teen films that came a dime a dozen during the 1980s. It is a film that is powered by sexual tension, raunchy comedy, and vulgar situations. The film deals with a high school boy (C. Thomas Howell) and his obsession with a classmate (Kelly Preston). After he receives an anonymous letter from an admirer, he thinks it might be Preston. However, it is friend Lori Loughlin who is the admirer. Howell starts to write letters to Preston now, but they are so sorry that Loughlin writes letters to Preston (making them appear that Howell wrote them). Preston falls in love, Howell thinks he's a genius, and Loughlin is left in the cold. Then the letters become misplaced and Howell's parents (Dee Wallace and Cliff De Young) and Preston's parents (Fred Ward and Leigh Taylor-Young) get hold of them and get the wrong idea. Now De Young and Taylor-Young are thinking of having an affair with each other while Wallace and Ward find out and look to take manners into their own hands. As you can tell everything becomes a pure mess, but it all ends well. The film is funny and somewhat clever, but it gets into nasty elements that are not really needed. Director David Greenwalt tries to juggle the disjointed screenplay, but is only minimally successful. A likeable cast and some good moments make the film watchable, but it had the potential to be so much more. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
