See this movie. The basic story is not very original, bully vs normal/nerdyish dude. But it isn't cookie cutter either, and the execution more than makes up for any lack of originality in the basic plot. It also serves as a great 80s time capsule. The wardrobe and hairstyles are pretty much what you'd see in any 80s high school back in the day. It wasn't peak super cool cutting edge only, it was typical everyday student stuff. I also recognized my English grammar textbook. But you don't have to be from the era to love this absolute gem of a teen movie. The lead actor was great, but if someone more famous had been cast in the lead, it would have been a box office smash hit. It just needed some more attention when it was released. Don't miss this one.
