Nowhere-man Ronny Miller is secretly in love with Cindy Mancini, the prettiest, most popular girl on campus. When Cindy finds herself in a desperate predicament, Ronny steps in to save the day ... for a price! Cindy must pose as Ronny's girl so that her popularity might rub off on him. But the road to popularity takes an unexpected twist when Ronny becomes so "cool" that his former friends feel the chill, Cindy is left toally out in the cold, and Ronny himself discovers that money might buy you popularity, but it can't buy you love! Review: A Classic '80s Movie That Still Holds Up - If you grew up in the 1980s, there's a good chance this movie brings back a lot of memories. If you've never seen it, it's still worth watching today. Patrick Dempsey does a great job as Ronald Miller, a high school outsider who thinks popularity can be bought. What starts as a simple arrangement quickly turns into a funny, awkward, and surprisingly heartfelt story about fitting in, being yourself, and discovering what really matters. Like many movies from the era, it has plenty of humor, memorable characters, and moments that are both funny and cringe-worthy in the best possible way. The fashion, music, and overall atmosphere are pure 1980s nostalgia. What I appreciate most is that beneath the comedy, the movie actually has a good message. It reminds us that trying to be someone you're not rarely works out the way you expect. I've watched it multiple times over the years, and it remains one of my favorite teen comedies from the decade. It may not have the biggest budget or the most famous cast, but it has a lot of charm and heart. If you enjoy classic '80s movies, this one deserves a spot on your watch list. Review: Classic Movie! Always a great watch! - One of my favorites!

Found it after many years.
The only scene I remember from this movie is during the school dance and the Anteater Ritual dance. I was finally able to find it after many years. I had to use AI of all things. Classic movie!

幸せな気持ちになれる最高の作品です。
昔、学生の時に観て感動し、お気に入りの作品でしたが最近レンタルビデオ店でも見かけなくなり残念に思っていました。 先日、ふと思い出し検索した所、ありました。さすがアマゾン。家族で楽しく観させていただきました。 本当に素敵なお話です。オススメです。 でも、こちらは海外版なのでリージョンコードが違う為、国産のHDレコーダーでは再生する 事が出来ないので要注意、私はプレステ4で再生しました。更に日本語吹替えはもちろん、日本語字幕もありません。 英語字幕で観ることをお勧めします。英語の勉強になりますよ! とにかくシンディがとっても可愛いです。最近この手の青春ラブコメディ系は少なくなってきたので。あの頃を思い出したい方をはじめ、十代二十代の若い人たちにも是非観てもらいたい作品です。映画はこうあるべきという、観たあと幸せな気持ちになれる事間違いなしの傑作です。

Teenie Liebeskomödie
Ein süßer Teenie Liebesfilm, den ich damals im Kino gesehen habe. Bringt Erinnerungen zurück. Auch für ältere Semester geeignet. Hach............

" My name is Ronald, not Donald..."
A film that could have easily been plucked straight from the John Hughes teen film catalogue, this likeable & lovable film was a box office success back in 1987, and it's not hard to see why. Patrick Dempsey stars as Ronald, a high school nerd about to enter his senior year, who yearns to be one of the " cool kids." Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) is a beautiful cheerleader, and is not only one of the most popular girls in school, but also the secret object of his affection. One night at a party, Cindy ruins an expensive outfit ( which actually belongs to her mother - white suede? How 80's can you get! ) , and Ronald offers the $1,000 needed to replace it, but only if she will pretend to date him for one month in order to make him " popular ". Although somewhat skeptical about Ronald's plan, Cindy agrees, and her new " boyfriend " turns out to be right about what he thinks dating Cindy will do for him -- as he soon becomes one of the most likeable ( & desirable ) guys in school, all thanks to his association with Cindy. However, Ronald will find out that the price of his all new popularity may be a great deal higher than he could have ever anticipated. I absolutely adore this film, it's up there with Pretty in Pink & Some Kind of Wonderful as one of my all time favourite 80's teen films. Boasting great performances & a great soundtrack, this much underrated 80's teen comedy is an essential purchase for anyone who likes their 80's teen comedies sweet, frothy and fun.
