This movie is a time capsule of high schoolers growing up in America during the late 1980s. The clothes, the big hair and the music. Love this classic.
17:57 In all fairness, Cindy did grow quite fond of Ronald. But he just tossed her aside after their staged breakup, and even used her private poem to score with her best friend.
Had to stop and watch this instead of finding something to pass out to because I think it's the earliest I've ever caught a Minty video being posted before (18 minutes). But now I have to pause to find out what happened to Amanda Peterson RIP Minty, what you said about freeing ourselves from societal placing, learning to grow, get along, and care about each other was beautiful. ❤
i never really took Roger Ebert's criticisms too seriously. He has a long history of trashing the most popular movies and praising the worst movies. I always thought of him as some out of touch troll that just thinks he's legitimate critic.
He was right and wrong on some movies. Ultimately, I think it’s good we have critics. I peruse Rotten Tomatoes and always look for the bad reviews. I’ll watch the movie either way.
i never follow critics. they tend to like movies i dont and not the ones i do. fact is, everyone likes what they like and thats why there are so many choices.
This was and still is such a great movie! I have seen it plenty of times and even own it on DVD. Great performances from the two leads, Patrick Dempsey and the late, beautiful actress, Amanda Peterson, RIP.
Good luck with that smell, Minty. Based on my experience, you want to check your walls and crawl space(s) for a furry guest who decided to make your home its final resting place.
I saw this in the movie theater. There were 2 girls sitting behind me and my group of friends. They were saying "no don't pick him" over and over about the Ronald character because he wasn't cute enough and a geek. I always wondered if those same girls, decades later, swooned over Mcdreamy on Gray's Anatomy.
I saw this in the theater as a teen in '87 and it's been one of my favorite movies ever since. I had the biggest crush on Amanda Peterson....what a shame. May she rest in peace.
Regarding Cindy being really mean to Ronald and blowing up the scheme & destroying his reputation: I always thought that it was because he hurt her so bad by callously ending their fake relationship right as ahe was genuinely starting to have feelings for him. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, so to speak.
Tucson, Arizona here. Magnet schools kind of recruit smart kids from outside the normal area. I went to Catalina High which is also a magnet school and some of the students lived really far from school. But they got good grades and made the school look better 😅
i ❤ ur videos🎥 i learn so much about the movies i love. thx so much for doing the research and putting together a great video. keep it up👍🏼 i l👀k 4ward to seeing more in the future.
This was (and is) an very light-hearthed movie, and very likeable, nothing trascendental, but more of a 'feeling-fine' movie. I think it is very well filmed and, yes, it has its sugar coating, but IT IS a romantic comedy, no?
The plot of this movie is not too far removed from Easy A with Emma Stone, and that one is far closer to high school prostitution than this movie. I wonder if that Tri Star exec has seen Easy A? The only thing I remember about Can't Buy Me Love is ripping the sleeves off his shirt to make him look cooler.
Minty you're not understanding Cindy's extreme anger in this movie. Many factors led to her exploding on Ronald. I think you need to watch this movie again
Technically, he didn't pay her moneyjsit like that. He gave the money to her so she could get her mother's jacket dry cleaned. In return, she made him a cool kid. Fair trade i think.
Patrick Dempsey totally looks like the kind of guy who would engage in weird schemes and pay for feminine attention. Very similar to today's crypto bros. Truly timeless, expert casting 👌
10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Smackdown for example the crossover promotion with UPN Series Gary and Mike or being the most successful Wrestling Show on Broadcast Television also the word Smackdown entering the Webster's Dictionary In 2006 not bad for a male Soap Opera In Speedos there I said It
Roger Ebert was the absolute worst. Every single movie he trashed, I ended up liking. He tried to over think every movie. Some movies should just be fun movies .
Hey Minty what's your problem with Beetlejuice beetlejuice? I mean it's not better than the first one but it's pretty good.. definitely not perfect put Michael Keaton was great as usual!
Loved thus movie back then and still watch it a few times a year. I love the 80's best decade EVER
few times a year??

One of the movies I watched in my teens and still remember to this day. I miss the good old pre-internet and smart phone days.

R.I.P. Amanda Peterson ❤

I mean, the man said that “Freddy Got Fingered” was the bottom of the barrel…
Why people don't take movie critics seriously
Growing up in Chicago, we had a lot of Roger Ebert. Usually, if he liked a movie, we didn't go see it and vice versa if he hated one.

What a movie! Thank you great job once again👍
“Hookers at the point” 1996 documentary!
You'll never be Forgotten Amanda
Shame how her life turned out
@domonas yeah she went down kinda fast
Magnet schools are public schools in the U.S. that offer specialized courses or curricula, attracting students to them, like a magnet.
The song Revolution was used by NIKE not Reebok
1:05 Maybe the Martian head behind you is finally rotting out.
I wore out the vhs tape... so many times I watched this fantastic movie!!
The one who smelt it dealt it.
80s classic. Seen many times.
I still love this movie.❤
I saw this in the theater as a teen in '87 and it's been one of my favorite movies ever since. I had the biggest crush on Amanda Peterson....what a shame. May she rest in peace.
I so fell for Amanda Peterson in this movie. What happened to her was tragic. R.I.P.
I love this movie! Whenever I see it on TV, I stop and watch it.
The airplane junkyard in Tucson was quite awesome.
Lovely one, Minty.
George Gray (Bobby Hilton, Cindy's college boyfriend) has been The Price Is Right announcer since 2011.
😂I love this kind of trivia answer!!

When a Movie or Song is made really well, it's inevitable that it'll find it's way to ultimately become a Hit. There's tons of examples.
As of June 2022, it is available for streaming via Disney+ in Canada, and previously on Netflix, Cinemax, Tubi, Hulu, and The Roku Channel in the US.

Hey Minty, love your content! Gotta do one on "Heaven Help Us". I always thought that was a great 80's teen comedy that doesn't get enough attention.
This was a good one minty. Keep ‘em comin!
Vhs favourite back in the day
Lover boy was my movie ..
This one hurts. I recently learned about what happened to Amanda Peterson after Hollywood. Hollywood sucks.
Been waiting for this one!
i ❤ ur videos🎥
i learn so much about the movies i love. thx so much for doing the research and putting together a great video.
keep it up👍🏼
i l👀k 4ward to seeing more in the future.
Minty, Attack Force Z.
I Hated High School. I ditched most of it . But for some it can be a pleasant experience
Close yo legs and you won’t smell it anymore 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but seriously keep up the good work 🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥
Yeah Boy Rents Girl is a terrible title. Can't buy me Love is a perfect title for this movie
I really identified with Patrick Dempsey's early movie roles. Has this movie aged well? No, but I thought it was great for the time.
BeetlejuicE BeetlejuicE was fuckin awesomE 😎
This was (and is) an very light-hearthed movie, and very likeable, nothing trascendental, but more of a 'feeling-fine' movie. I think it is very well filmed and, yes, it has its sugar coating, but IT IS a romantic comedy, no?
Cards chips dips and dorks 😂😂😂😂😂
gerardo (rico suave) was one of the jocks.
Dempsey should of won the Oscar for his role in this Movie. He's a very underrated Actor
Another good 80s Patrick Dempsey movie is called, "Lover Boy" check it oot.
The plot of this movie is not too far removed from Easy A with Emma Stone, and that one is far closer to high school prostitution than this movie. I wonder if that Tri Star exec has seen Easy A?
The only thing I remember about Can't Buy Me Love is ripping the sleeves off his shirt to make him look cooler.
All I could think about was that Community episode 😂
It's true that money can not buy happiness.
But it darmn sure can buy everything else.
Minty you're not understanding Cindy's extreme anger in this movie. Many factors led to her exploding on Ronald. I think you need to watch this movie again
Plus she was drunk from vodka shots
Great movie. I say it was a great investment despite the fall out at the end. He did get laid like twice. 😂😅
Weird Al really did say it best - If money can't buy happiness, i guess I'll have to rent it🍕
Wow, the remake had some great future stars
Technically, he didn't pay her moneyjsit like that. He gave the money to her so she could get her mother's jacket dry cleaned. In return, she made him a cool kid. Fair trade i think.
I thought your opening was bc......Love Stinks... haha
Tic Tac Tile....
What's the song that starts at number 4?
Not sure if I've seen this but the 80s were a few years ago
It’s a joke when you look at me that way it a joke
Loved this movie. Although hokey, it was fun. Amanda Petersen was pretty hot. Too bad how her life turned out
I ended up starting this video while on the toilet. I felt called out😂😂😂
🔥🔥🔥
No. 5: The film annoyed the screen actors guild
Most movies that were poorly written right now and advocated DEI annoy everyone.
Hope you don't have a gas leak minty. Be careful sir
Big thanks Minty🤘✌️
Patrick Dempsey totally looks like the kind of guy who would engage in weird schemes and pay for feminine attention. Very similar to today's crypto bros. Truly timeless, expert casting 👌
So,..... Is the woo-woo kid next?
I think there's a movie night on
that smell is how i felt about this movie
Come on, Michael buying the catalog was a douche move
They should have used 38 specials caught up in you song for the end not the beatles
10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Smackdown for example the crossover promotion with UPN Series Gary and Mike or being the most successful Wrestling Show on Broadcast Television also the word Smackdown entering the Webster's Dictionary In 2006 not bad for a male Soap Opera In Speedos there I said It
This movie proves you can buy love , 🤣
I love this movie. I didn’t like remake it was not good IMO.
Dempsey really thought he was the next best thing.
He thought he was a real Lover Boy.
Never saw this movie.
Sorry Minty, it's my newborn
Roger Ebert was the absolute worst. Every single movie he trashed, I ended up liking. He tried to over think every movie. Some movies should just be fun movies .
I noticed the classic Volkswagen Golf Cabrio was prominently "featured" in the movie.
Finally Damn
Spam
I always thought John Cusack had starred in this one.
Hey Minty what's your problem with Beetlejuice beetlejuice? I mean it's not better than the first one but it's pretty good.. definitely not perfect put Michael Keaton was great as usual!
Roger Ebert was one of the worst critics ever
