1. • • These two minor quibbles aside, Can't Buy Me Love gets into it's stride fairly quickly, picking it's way past the remains of fallen campus movies that have gone before it. Nice performances, a useful script and a dignified ending all boost this film's appeal, but it is the workable simplicity of the premise that really does it.

   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.

   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 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."

   118 Reviews. Hide Spoilers. Sort by: Filter by Rating: 8/10. Underrated and charming 80's teen flick. fineanimal 29 September 2002. 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.
