The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Blistering performances.

One of the best films of its time! I watch it over and over!

I've been looking for this since it's aired in the late 80's .... My VCR and TV at the time, had an "Operator Malfunction and I missed the Movie and Have since missed it to this day! But I know the Story because I was in the film ...which is really a pity, I still don't have a copy of it, to add it to my collection! It was fun filming it and the story is great no matter what era it seems to be in it still applies...I play the Roller skating waitress and this was my First speaking part and sadly my last too. If anyone out there could help me find it I would be super grateful. Thanks . By the way it's really kinda cheesy but in a good way! Sincerely, Flame Metter "Rollerskating Waitress"

Caught this on afternoon television years ago, taped it by accident, and have kept on to that recording simply because I find this to be slight but very charming movie. Much can be attributed to the leads, Viveca Davis and Todd Fields (who has moved on to Academy Award Nominations for directing "In the bedroom"!!!). They are not high-power actors here, but give relaxed and captivating performances, especially the bright-eyed and energetic Davis. You DO care for these characters!Fairy-tale story, of course, but done with conviction, charm and quite a few funny lines are sprinkled along the way. Looking back, it's also rather fun watching the clothes and hairstyles. The 80s really had some bizarre charm about it! :D Nice cameos by Wagner and Zappa also. My only complaint is the musical number at the end. It is just a little bit too much (like pouring sugar on top of icing on a cake).

Have you ever wondered what would you do if you could start high school over. What would happen if you were no longer the nerd , the fat girl, the jerk, or even the silent one. Well this story tells of two people who takes on someone elses identity so to gain popularity. The movie truly shows how one person could change so drastically. It is truly a movie from the 80's. Loved it.
