Can't Buy Me Love (1987) watch online HD

Most 80's teen flicks leave a rather sick feeling in my stomach, but this one has always been a favorite despite the stereotypical shallow, big-haired girls and the Animal House wanna-be jocks. The difference is that the stars, Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson, are not so stereotypical in their roles as lonely nerd and ultra-popular head cheerleader.

Patrick Dempsey has always been underrated as an actor with style, and it is unfortunate that his character, Ronald, is so unlikable after the film's premise kicks in. Ronald goes "from geek to chic" and back again. But Dempsey himself seems too inherently confident to really pull off the geek aspect believably, and he's too cruel to the girl whose heart he won for Ronald to be a truly sympathetic character. The hip version of Ronald, however, is a hoot to watch, even if it is somewhat overdone in the context of an already unlikely plot.

The standout in this film is Amanda Peterson, whose character Cindy has to be one of the most genuinely likeable "stuck up" high school girls on film. Watching her character grow and open her heart to Ronald is the main reason I've given this film repeated viewings. Although the genres are quite different, I'd compare Peterson's character to Renee Zellweger's character in Jerry MaGuire in terms of sheer likability. Making characters likeable is much more difficult than making them sympathetic, and I'm frankly shocked that Peterson's career did not skyrocket after this performance.

Whether you're looking for creative ways to invest $1000 or dancing lessons, Can't Buy Me Love is one 80's teen flick that has a lot to offer.

Can't Buy Me Love is a sweet romantic comedy that's still great after all these years. What was the reason for making an exact replica of the film (Love Don't Cost A Thing) except geared for young black audiences? Why not just make an original romantic comedy altogether instead of trying to replicate this particular teen movie? I hate remakes.

Can't Buy Me Love ridicules the high school caste system--that popular kids are the invincible social class that other social groups strive to be part of, but are limited by the "understood" rigid rules of their place among the social system.

Ronald (Patrick Dempsey) is supposed to be the hopeless nerd. He's a quiet kid that flocks with loners (one of them being the cool Max Perlich). Ronald is in love with senior cheerleader, Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson). As the popular, rich cheerleader, she is definitely hands off for Ronald. Ronald wants the girl. He wants to be popular. Is it possible for the geek to transcend his expected role in the game of high school social groups? Definitely, but for Ronald, the consequences are disasturous and also conducive to helping Ronald straighten out his priorities of friendship, love, and the like. Is he willing to trade it all in for popularity and all the superficiality that comes with it?

Ronald's opportunity arrives when Cindy stumbles into the mall one day looking to return or exchange her mother's outfit stained with wine thanks to Cindy, who wasn't supposed to be wearing it, anways. The price of a new outfit: $1,000. So, Ronald, who happens to have that cash since he was saving up for a telescope, makes Cindy an offer: to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. Ronald expects that this will give him just the popularity he wants. To be a high school senior, friends with Cindy, and make the A List? For Ronald, that's all he wants.

Cindy's grossed out by the idea at first, not wanting to be scene with Donald (as she constantly mistakens his name). But with the Mancini make over, Ronald's on his way to being the new stud on campus. One month later, Ronald is rubbing elbows with Cindy's senior friends, cheerleaders Barbara and Patti and and jocks Big John and Ricky. But, Ronald, in his transition, seemed to forgot that what he wanted all along was a date with Cindy Mancini, who's makeover has turned Ronald into some kind of monster. Ronald doesn't only push Cindy away, but also his closest friend, Kenneth (Courtney Gains) and the rest of his old crowd of friends who hate their friend's newfound social life. But, how far is Ronald willing to go? And how long can he live down the lie?

It was one of three good movies Dempsey made in 1987, along with Loverboy and In the Mood (actually the latter is better than the former), all being cute romantic comedies. But I think Can't Buy Me Love will always be my favorite. Patrick Dempsey, Amanda Peterson, Seth Green (who plays Ronald's little brother, Chuckie), or hell, even Max Perlich fans, are certain to like this movie. It's got good style for the 80s too and hot teen cast. I still think it is one of the top 80s teen comedies.

I love those cheesy 80's teenage love stories. They are fun and entertaining. "Can't Buy Me Love" is one of the better ones for sure. It is one of those movies that you can watch over and over and still love it. The story is interesting and the performances are great. Amanda Peterson is fantastic as the high-priced yet emotionally repressed love interest of lawnboy Patrick Dempsey. The story is funny and moving and can even make you cry. Watch it with friends, watch it alone, watch it with someone you love and remember the pressures of high school and the friends that got you through it.

It kind of reminded me of revenge of the nerds. I liked this cute little movie about a geeky boy who pays the hottest highschool cheerleader at his school to pose as his girlfriend. This is a fun movie and one that works surprisingly well. One of the better teen comedies from the 80's. Myabe not as popular as some others but just as good and somehow does not come across as ridiculous as so many similar movies of this time period did. It's a definite must see for anyone who appreciates a movie like "Revenge of the nerds" and hasn't got to see this yet. I really enjoyed it. Obviously the movie's not an Oscar winner or to highly original but it works and as teen movies go, it is toward the top of the heap.

Sometimes the most important thing eludes us and we don't recognize it. Not everyone has the opportunity to recognize, especially when one lives it, what is really important, what is in fact real; the truth of who we are and who others are. And to recognize that before the others and ourselves. Not everyone has that opportunity. Almost all of us fall in the lies and fictions of who we are, who the others are and the place of all of us in our world, but only few of us - lucky few - manage, in the end, but maybe still in time, to see the truth, the reality. And these ones, may consider themselves very happy.

All it takes is to understand that, and we can be who we want to: our own selves.

If you like '80s teen comedies, this one is not to be missed. I liked this movie and i just wanted to share these thoughts i had after seeing it. Patrick Dempsey is good in it, and Amanda Peterson is absolutely great, loved her. Wish i had met a girl like her when i was in high school. But then again, maybe i did...

7/10 overall, a good movie.

This is the best "wannabe popular" teen movie I've seen. Yes it's old, only a year after I was born, but it's still way cool to see the awful trends of the 80's :) It's about the typical "geek" wanting to be the "popluar" kid, who takes extreme measures to achieve his goal. It's not anything anyone hasn't seen before. Geek wants the girl, geek gets popular, geek drops his true friends, becomes a geek again, although the ending is really good! It's just so much fun to watch an 80's teen movie, there so great! It's also fun to see stars in earlier films. Who doesn't want to see Seth Green as a bratty younger brother? Good movie, watch it!

If you like 80s movies this is my top 5 of all time. This movie is amazing and should not be forgotten. The story is about Ronald played by Patrick Dempsey who is a nerd and lives next door to Cindy the most popular girl in High School played by Amanda Peterson. Ronald mows lawns for a living and is saving his money for his science project. He finally has enough money to pay for his project but he decides to help out Cindy with dilemma. Cindy ruins her moms dress at a party and she needs a 1,000 dollars to buy a new dress so her mom doesn't ground her for life. Ronald decides to give up his money for the project if Cindy pretends to like him. The movie is amazing. Its very funny, great acting, and the chemistry works. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I could watch it over and over again. If you like 80s movies check this movie out as well as Teen Witch, Some Kind Of Wonderful, Just One of the guys, and Big.

I've seen bundles of these teen comedies, and "Can't Buy Me Love" does contain every cliche in the book. But it was made in 1987. This was a little past the dawning of the high school movie, and the characters of the nerd, jock, cheerleader, etc. were just recently created. I don't know. Maybe this movie was even a huge cliche back in the eighties. But I'm still gonna give it the benefit of the doubt.

I catch this movie on TBS quite a lot of times, and I can't help but enjoy it. There are certain cliched scenes that just force me to roll my eyes and sigh, yet I can't change the channel. Well, there are two key elements that make this flyweight teen comedy work: Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson. They both give charming performances, and have a wonderful chemistry. Even though you know exactly what will happen between them, it's still a delight to see them on screen. Dempsey hasn't had a big role in years, and you can technically classify him as a has-been, but he is a good, charismatic actor. And it would've been nice if his career actually took off. As for Peterson, I don't remember her from any other movies, so I have no knowledge of her career. All I know is she's good-looking and I liked her in this movie.

The story is as predictable as you can get, with paperthin characters, but as I said it's good flyweight entertainment. Strictly a guilty pleasure. If I were in the mood for a good--and by that I mean good in quality--high school movie I'd watch "Ghost World" or one of the "American Pie" movies. But if I just want to kick back and watch a cheesy high school movie that will put a smile on my face and contains no intellectual value, I'll watch "Can't Buy Me Love."

Of course, the movie has a "message" at the end about being yourself, and not caring what others think of you, but the message is delivered with the finesse of an after-school special and is strictly pasted on. When you have characters that are so stereotypical and implausible, it's hard to fit in a believable message. But what would a high school movie be without a schmaltzy third act?

That's why I recommend this movie, just as a guilty pleasure. It's far from great, yet undeniably appealing. But please do not bother to analyze this movie. You'll be wasting your time.

My score: 7 (out of 10)

The person that said this movie was overlong but enjoyable doesn't know what they are talking about. If you want to see overlong, watch Dances With Wolves and it wasn't even enjoyable. "Can't Buy Me Love" is the ultimate 80's movie along with "Breakfast Club" and "Adventures in Babysitting". I watch this movie each time it's on TV. I also have it on VHS and DVD. The story line was easy to follow, not that matters and just kept you interested. I enjoyed all the characters and could definitely see my high school years in them. If you haven't seen this movie, rent, get it, watch it. If you have seen this movie then you know what I'm talking about.

I'm Nikki and I approve this message.

A high school boy saves up 2000 dollars for a new telescope, but winds up spending it for a girlfriend. She was the most popular girl at school, and needed the money to replace her mother's jacket that she [the girl] had ruined. In return, the girl must date the boy for a month, making him suddenly popular, something he isn't used to at all. Of course, he is found out eventually, and all his new "friends" turn against him. A picture which is well worth seeing.

I think if you listen to the lyrics of Neil Young's 'Keep on rockin' in the free world' it's kind of like a make-shift anthem for high school people. In a way, not all will agree with Neil or the song, but this movie had me in stitches (at times) given that I didn't laugh as much as "Fast Times At Ridgemeont High", this was a more heart felt story of a young nerd/geek (Dempsey)who is definitely coming into his own.

Not all geeks stay geeks. Not all nerds stay nerds either. Patrick Dempsey successfully plays the guy you root for! And on top of it all are Cindy's gorgeous girlfriends that he is now a part of ...their world.

Look back at your high school days and see who really changed. It's quite amazing sometimes. In this fun flick made in good Ole Tucson Arizona, the cast of nuts and crazies was like the stock market, with that 'Popularity' thing, up, up, up, then down and out. Patrick Dempsey was so right in this 'Ronny' character, I still laugh.

I kind of remember a Cindy Mancini type in high school, which I'm sure many do. That super-hot chic, guys were lining up for. Back in 1998, I was working at a resort in Phoenix and got to meet and put Amanda Petersen (Cindy Mancini) into a town-car for the airport. She was very nice and looked great in person. She signed my little ticket, and called me 'Babe', I was charmed by her she was very wonderful to meet even briefly. She kissed me on the cheek, before getting into the Towncar...it was one of those moments in life. I probably looked like Charlie Brown after being kissed by the little red-headed girl at that point as the car was pulling away.

I recommend this for all the high school crazy antics we all did and or miss, from that era in our lives. (****)

Warning: Possible Spoilers

There I said it. I love this movie. It is cute, heart warming, and also very honest and revealing. I can tell you why this movie was not a hit when it came out but really is a cult favorite now. This movie exposed the 'popular' myth, it showed just how fragile and shallow the 'popular' thing is and how many are simply followers. Of course popular kids at the time would not warm to this movie, it showed them to be either manipulators or followers neither of which anyone wanted to admit to.

People mention how this movie does not compare to John Hughes films, and you are right. Because in his flicks the popular kids come out looking good at the end. Hughes films are better written and overall acted but they are not as honest or real as this movie.

I am sick of people complaining about stereotypes. Why/How does a stereotype exist?!?! Because there are many, many people who ARE the stereotype. Stereotypes are not created from nothing, they are the single expression of large whole. Complain about stereotypes when they are inaccurate. The stereotypes in this movie are spot on.

I know personally that a big reason I love this movie is because I was on both sides of the fence. I was in the popular crowd when I was young, from 1st - 7th grades. Then we moved. For a year I was kinda a nerd/loner, I just hung around the perimeter. I was friends with most of the 'popular' girls but disliked almost all the 'popular' guys so eventually did my own thing. I was liked by most groups at the school but was not part of the 'popular' group.. by choice. But I also did one of the meanest things I have ever done in my life. I basically stole another guys friend and then told him to beat it because he was not 'cool' enough. I am still ashamed of that. I was basically a kid trying to be cool that really was a nerd inside. Moved again for my last 2 years of HS. This really was a bizarre experience as the 'popular' group was small and not well defined. I think this was due to so many new students moving into the area and I guess disrupting things. My best friend was a nerd, but a very very smart one, and a year younger. Again I did my own thing and liked who I wanted to like.

It was also at this HS that I witnessed something very similar to the movie.

This was in the grade below me. A 'popular' pretty girl dumped a jock and began dating a guy from the 'bad' crowd, you know the group that wore metal concert t-shirts and smoked. Wow, it was amazing to see the effects this had on the school and in particular that class, it turned the whole 'popular' thing on it's head.

One other reason this movie works is that the chemistry between Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson is obvious. They just have it.

Patrick Dempsey caught my eye in this adorable little movie about a boy who falls in love with the girl next door and sets out to win both her and popularity.

Possible spoilers: As Ronald Miller (or as the object of his affection calls him Donald), Dempsey is transformed before our eyes from an offbeat, lovable geek to a smokin' hot studmuffin whom all the girls lust after. Despite the fact that his character becomes a total jerk, he is just so darn cute it's hard not to dislike him. After she ruins one of her mother's favorite outfits, Cindy Mancini (played by the perky and beautiful Amanda Peterson)finds herself in need of Ronald's help. Even though he lives right next door to her, she doesn't know he is alive. She lets him help her, and in exchange, she agrees to pretend they are boyfriend and girlfriend. This arrangement leads to a series of events in which they both learn important lessons about relationships and themselves.

It is so much more than the average teenage comedy, and you can see glimpses of the future Dr. McDreamy in Dempsey. Great movie!

I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it! Every line of dialogue, every character, the setting, the music, the plot, the ending - everything is cliché. It's just a formula.

Here's a list: high school setting, nerd/cool transformation, football player guy/cheerleader girl combination, nerd friends/jock friends, reversal of popularity/coolness by someone who formerly had popularity/coolness, the sentimental seriousness near the end of the movie with the soft rock 80s music playing in the background, and ... and this is the best of the whole lot ... the slow clap at the end of the movie cheering him on.

No kidding!! A slow clap develops and develops and then everyone's cheering and everything's great! But it's serious!!!

I'm not sure if this is a 1 or a 10 or somewhere in between. It's baffling! Someone could have written this whole script in half a day, the plot is so cliché and formulaic that, when you add the cliché characters in the mix, and the cliché setting, the script virtually writes itself.

Think about it. You're a writer in Hollywood in the 80s and you throw the plot, setting, and characters together in your mind and you would just naturally start writing because it's so easy, it's so so easy, the whole script is already written for you, you just have to fill it in.

This is a paint by numbers movie.

One of my all time favorite story lines is when two people don't like each other and then fall in love. I could tell just by the description in the photo cover that I was going to really like this movie.

Cindy and Ronald have amazing chemistry in this movie and both of their characters really surprised me. I thought I had the movie predicted that she would fall for him during their "deal" but I never suspected that he would become such a jerk in the process. He really did let it go to his head!

My favorite scenes were of Cindy and Ronald together, my only complaint is that I wish we had seen them bond more before he became a narcissistic jerk. The scene with the airplane graveyard and the moon was absolutely beautiful. It broke my heart that she thought they were going to continue seeing each other but he thought otherwise. It's sad because if she had expressed her feelings right then and there, I do not think that chaos would have ensued as it did.

I also would have liked more clarity on Cindy and Bobby's relationship. Did he seriously not call her from the first day of school through new year's? Because that's what it seemed like and if so, I have no idea what he thought he had to be angry about. The remains of their relationship seemed to be a joke to me and deep down, I think Cindy knew that and that was why she was dating other guys.

Lots of laughs and tears throughout the movie with great acting by the main cast. And a baby Seth Green! It was sad but understandable why Kenneth would not forgive Ronald for what he had done. I am glad they all worked it out in the end like true friends. It is very insightful how Ronald becoming a bad person made Cindy become a better person. She saw first hand how she had been behaving all these years and how it wasn't worth it. Her character really surprised me. I wish the ending hadn't felt so rushed but it was definitely a happy one!

I would definitely recommend this movie to all!

Inexplicably this movie is one of my favorite of all time. It isn't drop dead hilarious, or particularly well acted. It even has some pretty stupid and condescending stereotypes and silly typecast characters (the nerds, jocks, little pest brother, hot-but-stupid cheerleaders) but what it does well....it does really well.

Essentially the angst of the main character, just wanting to fit in, be popular are pretty universal to most teenagers. I think everyone at times, feels like they are missing out on something, that the other crowd is having more fun than you. This gets played up to the extreme as Ronald Miller goes from being "totally geek, to totally chic" only to lose it all again in heartbreaking fashion.

The fine acting of a young Patrick Dempsey, and the gone too soon Amanda Petterson really make the movie for me as the chemistry is real and the awesome scenes together make me smile everytime I watch (which is nearing 20 viewings now)

Courtney Gains does an excellent job of being the neglected best friend who sees his friend descend into an unrecognizable jerk and the scenes involving their eventual loss of friendship are tough to watch.

It is not perfect, it shows it age a bit but having just watched it recently...I still love it.

RELEASED IN 1987 and directed by Steve Rash, "Can't Buy Me Love" is a high school dramedy about a geek at an Arizona high school (Patrick Dempsey) who pays the most popular girl in school (Amanda Peterson) $1000 to act like she likes him for a month so he can move up the social strata. Of course, this creates unforeseen problems. Courtney Gains plays his geek friend and Seth Green his little brother.

This is better than some 80's teen flicks (e.g. Molly Ringwald's movies), but not as good as others ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High"). It's arguably on par with "Just One of the Guys" and "Some Kind of Wonderful." Unlike those films, however, it has a semi-campy vibe wherein the cast members often exaggerate their lines in an artificial way, which telegraphs that what's happening isn't real.

If you can roll with this odd element, there's a lot of good in "Can't Buy Me Love" and the ending is genuinely moving. There are many serious/realistic scenes, like the notable airplane graveyard sequence. The two protagonists have good chemistry and their relationship arc is convincing. Tina Caspary (Barbara) and Darcy DeMoss (Patty) are serviceable on the fringe female front.

THE FILM RUNS 1 hours & 34 minutes and was shot in Tucson, Arizona. WRITER: Michael Swerdlick.

GRADE: B/B- (6.5/10)

Has spoilers,I remember watching this when I was 13 over 25 yrs later and it hasn't aged at all it's still a fun fine movie.Donald is one of the nerd crowd who desperately wants to be popular and seized his chance when the most popular girl cindy needs to find cash for a dress so Ronald does a deal he buys the dress for one month of pretend relationship with her,after the month they fake break up and Ronald is in with the it crowd,its going great while forgetting his real friends he's the coolest kid in school until while drunk she exposes their deal in front of everyone and they all abandon him,its a great message for kids this movie about how being your self is always the best way,ronald is alone but makes a stand when his real friend sits with the jocks and one threatens to beat on him if he doesn't go back to the nerd table Ronald runs to his aid and makes the kids see that once they were all friends and gains respect of the kids,what he always wanted was Cindy all along just to get close to her it's a great movie for teens to gather and watch and for older folk who loved it when it was released,so for one movie forget about million dollar block busters and relive a great movie about the trials and tribulations of school life.still a great movie 3 decades later.

Ladies, you will love Patrick Dempsey transforming from a nerd to a very naughty bad boy. That was my only favorite scene, it's like he is showing off his true colors! I thought the rest was alright but there weren't that great enough scene's.

I think there was a lot of whining going on too that would definitely put you off regarding girls grouping over Ronald and the fact, Cindy had kept pressuring him on pointless things like breaking up in public which was fake.

I say they copied Grease or any other Greaser films just so Patrick Dempsey looked good in this which he did but Rom Com is definitely not for him to act in!

"Cindy Mancini" (Amanda Peterson) is the head of the cheerleading squad and the most popular person in high school. "Ronald Miller" (Patrick Dempsey) is the head nerd and essentially avoided by everyone except his fellow geeks. One day in the local shopping mall he happens to observe Cindy in some emotional distress and goes over to see what is wrong. He then learns that one of the jocks at the school accidentally spilled red wine on a very valuable suede jacket she took from her mother's closet and she desperately needs $1000 dollars to replace it. Since she needs the money and he wants to feel what it's like to be popular in school he offers her the money he has saved mowing lawns in exchange for her being his girlfriend in public for a month. Unfortunately for them, neither of them realize the ramifications. Now, as far as this movie is concerned I will just say that that this is one of the better 80's teen comedies produced with both Amanda Peterson and Patrick Dempsey performing in an exceptional manner. One particular scene involving the "African Anteater Dance" was especially hilarious. In any case, I highly recommend this movie for those interested in a film of this type and rate it as above average.

Can't Buy Me Love is directed by Steve Rash and written by Michael Swerdlick. It stars Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson. Music is by Robert Folk and cinematography by Peter Lyons Collister.

Plot has Dempsey as nerdy outcast Ronald Miller, who fed up of not being popular pays Cindy Mancini (Peterson), the most popular girl in school, one thousand dollars to be his girlfriend.

The 1980s was awash with films of this ilk, the teen dramedy topped up by a big hearted message and a finale of punch the air worth. What it all comes down to is if the film can hold its head above water, not become too twee, and crucially have you smiling come the finale. As evidenced by its popularity among 80s cineastes of a certain age, Can't Buy Me Love delivers all that you expect from such fare.

The core theme is of course self acceptance, the attainment of such in amongst the scary world of teenage school years. This shines bright in spite of some rather unconvincing dialogue and contrived corny moments. Director Rash just about holds it together, ensuring that the charm of the lead actors holds weight for character engagement, even though for thematic depth the screenplay only skims over the surface.

The teenage dramedy would evolve considerably once the 80s was left behind, becoming more biting, daring and observational. Yet for those who lived and loved this type of film in the 80s, there's a lovely nostalgic glow to be gleaned from revisits to the likes of Can't Buy Me Love. Nothing wrong with that. 6.5/10

Excelente critica de uma sociedade totalmente superficial e alienada.

Ronald Miller pines for Cindy the most popular girl in school who doesn't know he's alive. That all changes when she borrows her mom's blouse and accidentally ruins it at a house party now she must replace it before she finds out. Ronald offers to buy her a new one in exchange for becoming his girlfriend for a month.

Ronald gains new found popularity among the jocks and cheerleaders who thinks he's a stud. He ditches his old friends for the highlight.

The movie not only explores themes like popularity and love in simple terms like other teen flicks. Popularity is shown like a class system. The top percent get the nice tables, women and parties. The bottom are picked on, forced to sit at certain locations and can't even communicate with someone out of their league. Bullying is a took to install fear and keep the herd in line.

Cindy and Ronald are kinda like other famous tragic couples. They are forced apart by their peers and expect to act a certain way if they want to keep their status. It's almost like a fairy tale and they end happily ever after when they realize it's all nonsense.

Unlike Romeo and Juliet these two get to ride off in the sunset and plan on attending prom. A match made in heaven. Ronald even ends up winning over his old friends and respect of his peers.

Bring out the hankie. You won't be able to keep your eyes dry.

This is the best 80s teen movie of all time (period)

The chemistry of Amanda Peterson and Patrick Dempsey is truly flattering and comes across so natural

Tina Caspary does really well in this one too and you really feel the tension with her and Darcy Demoss

The soundtrack by Robert folk in this movie is simply a masterpiece

although one of the best tracks of the prom dance scene is not included in the soundtrack (actress) by randy hall ( the only downfall)

This movie can be watched over and over again without disappointment.

This is truly a masterpiece with Amanda Peterson at her best.

I love watching cheesy 80's movies.So, I had to watch Can't Buy Me Love as soon as I found out about it. It is a hilarious movie and teaches important lessons about popularity and high school life. Amanda Peterson plays as Cindy, the most popular girl at school. While, Patrick Dempsey is Ronald, a nerd who wants to fit in with the cool kids. I think that this is one of the best 80's teen comedies. I've seen it ten times and I'm still not tired of it. This movie is different from the other teen comedies of the era because the actors are not stereotypical in their roles. They are original and very funny.Can't By Me Love is worth watching and will not disappoint.
