80's month is already over halfway complete and I've only been able to briefly mention a few golden films. I'm going to try to churn out a decent amount in the coming week or two starting off with "Can't Buy Me Love". "Can't Buy Me Love" is a simple enough premise. The school nerd wants to be popular and is in love with the hot head cheerleader. He has no chance, but comes into a situation where she needs some money, thus he pays her off and she pretends to be his girlfriend resulting in him becoming popular. Along the way he actually does become the coolest guy in school, but loses sight of where he originally stood.
Yea, it isn't as famous as the brat pack films, and it isn't even as moving as the "deeper" films of the genre, but stuck somewhere in between, "Can't Buy Me Love" is a pretty solid 80's teen movie. You may or may not have heard of it, but everyone has at least somewhat positive insight when it comes to this film. It has the cliches and the sappy moments, but as the film progresses it goes from fun to actually somewhat decent. If you like 80's teen films, this is no doubt for you. Anything Patrick Dempsey in the 80's was a sign of B level teen fun.
