   Critics consensus While Can't Buy Me Love gets some value out of its plucky leads, this romantic comedy struggles to find grace in a cynical conceit that belongs in the bargain bin. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • Director Steve Rash and first-time screenwriter Michael Swerdlick are most successful with their lead characters, who turn in fine performances. The problem with CAN'T BUY ME LOVE is that too often characters do and say things teenagers wouldn't. At times this is a funny, touching film, but more often it isn't.

   Is Can't Buy Me Love a good movie?

   • 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.

   When was 'Can't Buy Me Love' made?

   • Sign in to vote. 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.

   Is Can't Buy Me Love a teen comedy?

   • Teen Parents need to know that Can't Buy Me Love is a 1987 teen comedy in which a young Patrick Dempsey plays a nerd who tries to buy his way into high school popularity.

   Is 'Can't Buy Me Love' a satirical movie?

   • If "Can't Buy Me Love" had been intended as a satirical attack on American values - if cynicism had been its target - we might be on to something here. But no. On the basis of the evidence, the people who made this movie are so materialistic they actually think this is a "teenage comedy."

   Does Can't Buy Me Love have a happy ending?

   • Its conformist happy ending negates the initial nonconformist feeling of the original premise. [Full Review in Spanish] Sadly, I feel the message of Can't Buy Me Love is more relevant than ever. Hopefully it shows young viewers that they can empower themselves if they're surrounded by adults who look the other way when they're being mistreated.

   Can't Buy Me Love. "Can't Buy Me Love" makes American teenagers look like stupid and materialistic twits. That would be all right if the movie were aware of itself and knew what it was doing - if it were a satirical comment on our society. But this movie is as naive as the day is long.
