Can't Buy Me Love Reviews
Great film, but why is there no widescreen version?
Can't Buy Me Love (1987.)
INTRODUCTION:
The film Can't By Me Love was released in 1987. Although the movie is, in this day and age, not as well-known as some of the other popular comedy movies from the eighties, the basic plot of this one has been ripped off MANY times. How does the movie that originated this storyline measure up? Read on for my review.
BASIC PLOT:
A high school nerd desperately wants to become cool. So, he makes a rather interesting deal with a popular girl - He'll give her a thousand dollars if she pretends to be his girlfriend for a month. The plan works, and in just weeks he becomes the school's most popular student. But how will his new so-called "friends" react when the way he became popular is exposed?
FILM OPINIONS:
This is an excellent movie, and one of the finest eighties comedy movies out there. The plot is one of the strongest comedy film plots of all time - it has been ripped off so many times it's not even funny (The New Guy and Love Don't Cost A Thing, fairly recent films, are essentialy inferior copies of this movie.) If you want to laugh, check out this movie.
DVD:
Here's where we get problems. THERE IS NO WIDESCREEN VERSION OF THIS FILM CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. One of the things I like about DVDs is that, in some cases, they give you the widescreen and full screen versions of a film. Not only does this DVD not give you the option to view the movie in widescreen - there's no widescreen version available, period! This must change.
OVERALL:
Overall I feel this is an excellent movie, and I really with they'd hurry up and release a widescreen DVD version. You absolutely MUST see this movie if you're a fan of eighties comedy films, but take my advice and hold off on the purchase - they're bound to release widescreen DVD eventually.
No Molly Ringwald but still a classic
This film has to be one of the most underrated films of the 80s. It's such a classic...I mean what's better than boy meets girl,boy pays girl,boy loses girl and then gets her back? Loved it ever since I was a little kid and it never gets old. It just goes to show that you should be who you are.
