Can't Buy Me Love (1987)
Can't Buy Me Love (1987) was released the same year the Born to Watch team was just beginning their High School journey. To say they had a different experience would be an understatement, but it was interesting to revisit this 80's classic movie.
If you're looking for a movie that perfectly captures the highs and lows of high school life, then look no further than "Can't Buy Me Love". Released in 1987, this film has stood the test of time and remains a beloved classic to this day.
The story follows Ronald Miller (played by Patrick Dempsey), a nerdy outcast who dreams of being popular. When he discovers that the most popular girl in school, Cindy Mancini (played by Amanda Peterson), needs money to replace a ruined outfit, he sees an opportunity to buy his way into her social circle. He offers her $1,000 to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month, and she reluctantly agrees.
What follows is a hilarious and heartwarming tale of self-discovery and teenage romance. As Ronald becomes more popular, he begins to lose sight of who he really is and what truly matters in life. Meanwhile, Cindy starts to see him in a new light and realizes that there's more to him than meets the eye.
One of the standout aspects of this movie is its message about the dangers of conformity and the importance of staying true to yourself. It's a theme that resonates just as strongly today as it did back in the 80s. The performances are also top-notch, with Dempsey and Peterson delivering charming and nuanced portrayals of their characters.
Overall, "Can't Buy Me Love" is a must-see movie for anyone who loves coming-of-age stories or just wants to relive some nostalgic memories from their own high school days. It's funny, touching, and endlessly entertaining.
