I usually love an '80s movie - the bad fashions, energetic soundtracks, the stupid slang terms such as 'Bohunk'... Unfortunately, this movie falls just short of "so bad it's good" - it's reminiscent of other 80's movies such as 'Meatballs' and 'Can't Buy Me Love' with the 'always picked on nerd' gets a makeover storyline, but it's generally hammy, unbelievable, badly acted, some scenes really do go on too long, and you can spot the plot "twist" a mile off. Essentially, this movie is 80's cheese at it's worst - the funny bits are unintentional and if you want to see a better cheesy 80s movie, I'd suggest viewing the ones I mentioned above.
Still, good for a laugh if you can get to see it for free/little money.
