I really enjoyed this when I saw it and would highly recomend. Very good,sweet welldone comedy that could have been cheezy but isn't. It's not heavy at all, just a sweet teen comedy that's better then alot of them because it's actually funny and very sweet at the same time. Most of the reviews here seem to be positive as well.

sweet fun comedy
so 80's
High school student Terry Griffith has arrogant college boyfriend Kevin and best friend Denise. Her sex-starved brother Buddy tells her that their parents are away for two weeks. She gets rejected by her teacher for a contest for a newspaper's summer internship. She is convinced that she is being overlooked only because she's a girl. With her brother's help, she turns herself into a guy to enter the contest anew in another school. She befriends new student Rick Morehouse which turns into something more complicated. Sandy sets her sights on Terry. The nerdy students are terrorized by school bully Greg Tolan and Rick likes Tolan's girlfriend Deborah.
Joyce Hyser's biggest assets are located in her bra. Her acting has limitations. This is so 80's. This is definitely a lesser teen comedy. It has a lot of the story elements of the 80's teen comedy. It doesn't have the music. It doesn't have quite the same fun or the feel of a John Hughes movie. It's like a sitcom copy of a great teen comedy of the era. I remember a couple of scenes from way back when but mostly it's a forgotten second tier movie.
