Just perfect...
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Well, here we have yet another role reversal movie. There were many worth watching, despite the tired plot of gender reversal. However, this one is not. In previous reviews, I think I've made my point about the general decline of enjoyment for Haim movies that followed the late 80s. This is one of them.'Just One of the Girls' is about a high school kid (Corey Haim) who tries to avoid his bullies by dressing up as a girl and attending another school. He joins the cheerleading squad and makes friends with fellow cheerleader, Marie (Nicole Eggert). Obviously, he can't keep up the charade for too much longer.I thought this movie was utter crap, and it wasn't even funny. But, judging by a majority of reviews, it looks like fans of Alanis Morrisette or teen sex queen, Nicole Eggert, are the only ones who'd want to watch this. If you're looking for a good Haim feature (or role switching comedy), look no further than 1989. This is about the point that Haim's career tanked.
Usually I'm a bit of a fan of the bad eighties & early nineties film featuring now has beens...but this film is so incredibly terrible that it was a real endurance test to sit through. Guys dressing up as girls has been done to death - but never so pathetically. Corey Haim's performance was abysmal as usual, Nicole Eggert was not much better. This has no redeeming qualities, even if you are a number #1 fan of an actor/actress in this piece of trash - stay away!
And, I still love watching it, each and every time I pop it in the machine. *Insert spoilers here.* Not only for the cameo appearance by Alanis Morrisette, back when her hair-do was bigger than her first name. But, also for the Machiavellian lengths to which Corey Haim had to go, in order for his girlfriend and his parents to NOT be in the same place, at the same time, as him. Priceless!Plus, there's no denying that Ms. Eggert's fellow varsity cheerleaders weren't bad to look at. Speaking of which; there was one blooper connected to the cheerleading sequence towards the end. The JV squad appeared to have the letters "S-H-S" on their uniforms. The initials of the real-life Vancouver school where this was filmed, perhaps?Well, in any case, I think this delightfully and shamelessly sappy movie is a perfect 10. As in, undeniably ten times better than "Legally Blonde 2" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" put together!
I watched this movie like 5 times and i loved it each time. But the last time I wached , I saw something I didn't think I would see. It was in the last 5 minutes of the movie. I saw Alanis Morissette singing. She was acting as a singer and she was singing some cheesy dance song. I guess if you watch more carefully you'll see wonders.
