Can't Buy Me Love [DVD] [1987] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Excellent 80’s comedy .. great story

Loved it as a kid and it’s still a great film

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.

A classic feel-good 80's flick! Yes that's Patrick Dempsey (of Grey's Anatomy fame) looking geeky and slightly scrawny, but can he get the popularity he so desperately wants? If only he knew then what we know now!The storyline is perhaps a little predictable, but let's face it, if I wanted a serious I would watch something else. This is perfect for a girly night in!

I haven't seen this film for ages great film

Love the film

It a good storyline it suit for people who lives the 80s

God I love this movie. Had it on VHS for decades and now finally got it on DVD. I have no idea why I didn't buy this before. It's one of the best movies from the 80's. I could just watch this on repeat forever.
