Nerdy high schooler Ronald Miller rescues cheerleader Cindy Mancini from parental punishment after she accidentally destroys her mother's designer clothes. Ronald agrees to pay for the $1,000 outfit on one condition: that she will act as though they're a couple for an entire month. As the days pass, however, Cindy grows fond of Ronald, making him popular. But when Ronald's former best friend gets left behind, he realizes that social success isn't everything.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A slight but not unenjoyable movie.

rotten:
As written by Michael Swerdlick and guided by Rash, the theme dissolves into a bland parody of pubescent pain.

rotten:
It doesn't have a thought in its head and probably no notion of the corruption at its core.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
The film thinks it wants to be sincere, when all it truly wants is to be popular, just like the other kids' movies, so it sells off its originality.
