My Review

Another 80’s movie review ahead and another good one that I been wanted to review for a while now so next review is called Can’t buy me love from all the way back to 1987 gee I feel old now saying that.

So Is this drama movie sort it about a teen name Ronald who is in love with Cindy but she does not notice him sort of like he nerd and she is popular and does not notice that so after ruin her mom dress or something she can not afford the money so he comes up with this silly idea to pay her money just to date her one time for money and for some reason it worked a silly she goes for it so everybody at school is in shock see them hang out with each other so now some how he is most popular dude in school and well town.

But she start not like this idea at all you can tell she getting annoyed a little bit because it supposed to be a one time thing now turns into everyday thing with them two hanging out but as movie goes on they start to get close to each but his best friend gets mad because he hanging out with her more then you can tell as movie rolls.

This movie sorts of reminds of that revenge of nerds movie another 80’s movie which I review a while ago this movie is the way it supposed made in 80’s where teens movie was popular which you don’t find much today I don’t watch many teens movie in this era much that is for sure.

So for some reason they plan to do a breakup in a weird way almost seem real but she didn’t sound she like though but after talking to him she told please don’t change so what does he do he change his look and attitude so now girls like him for some reason so I wonder the whole time he was using Cindy to get popular sounds like it with the way story do I think it a good movie sort of but don’t do it too long May come to backfire later on he try to dance a girl everybody thought he was silly at first but then everybody starts doing it though Cindy is not happy with in fact they get into a small fight they do pretty much them two are not getting along.

So first half Ronald pay Cindy and them two look like they are getting a long after bet was over he changed his attitude and look and now they are not getting a long this where it getting worst as him and some guys egg his friend house and get catch by his friend so now his friend is mad at him don’t blame him then after that Cindy try to be nice to him and he just brushes her off I think she trying to tell him she likes him and miss him but she catches him with another girl that pretty much as Bobby her boyfriend I think finds out about deal between them and leaves her and well she tells everybody about Ronald paying her and just like that everybody turns on him.

Pretty much the last 15 mins with everybody being mean to him he try to make up with his friend but no luck and he try to make up Cindy a lot but not working so how is he going to get everybody to trust him and be friends with everybody again.

Well when his friend was in trouble with guy thinking he pulling a scam on a girl who helping him he sticks up for his friend and a nice speech which everybody clap and so movie look like it was going end with her going with her friends and not Ronald but she choice him at the end and it ending with happy ending in a great way that way I would end it as great movie but was plot a little goofing or not I will tell you below in my final thoughts of Can’t Buy me love.

Final final thoughts

Just some quick final thoughts today and that is plot was little bit goofing but will say it was a great 80’s movies Amanda Peterson was a beautiful lady and great at acting sadly her life was cut too short indeed she is miss but I am happy she got to make this 80’s movie with Patrick Dempsey who was funny as well in view in the end this too me will be a classic teen movie but I wonder if he made up with his best friend at end probably didn’t say but that ok I am sure they patch up things with him at the end but least he got girl back as movie end so even story was little confusing and goofing a little still enjoy the story because it was great love story and great acting as well so that it for this review have a good rest of your weekend.

I give can’t buy me love (1987) a rating of 7/10
