    Ninety minutes without laughing.

    I really wish that when making a comedy, the people actually tried to make it funny. This is a film that you can sit through, but nothing is special about it. After watching it, you will say that it was alright. It was not boring to watch, but gave the audience no jokes to laugh at. Entertainment should mean that you actually get something more than an o.k. story. This movie wanted to be "Tootsie", but instead it failed.

    I gave it a 1 out of 10.

    cute boy meets girl show

    A college student falls in love at first sight with a lovely, blonde co-ed. She is dating the BMOC, and pays no attention to her fellow student. While this was not an award winner, it was a pleasant way to spend 90 minutes.

    Interesting film

    This film is a putrid example of not how to do a movie. It is childish, moronic, and detestable in every way. It is a complete waste of time and the only redeeming value to me is the background of tennis of which I play regularly. BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love this movie

    I saw this movie as a teenager and I'm so happy I found it again. I'm very nostalgic about romantic high school comedies from the 80's and this goes to the same series even though this is made 1990. Okay it's ridiculous and politically incorrect but it makes me laugh out loud! And Chad Lowe is <3.

    A great film.

    This is one of my favourite films, I have seen this movie many times and each time I see I learn more about Stephen/Stephanie's character and I admire the extremes he will go to because of his love for Shelly. The sub-plot of the tennis tournament is and excellent light relief to the otherwise serious nature of the film. This film deals with strong issues, such as plagiarism, lying and downright cheating (in the tennis tournament). I would recommend this film to any of my friends, definately 10/10!
