High School U.S.A.
Pick Up Your Speed Or Get Out Of The Way.
Like most schools, Excelsior Union High School has its clearly defined groups - the haves and the have-nots. But when Jay Jay Manners (Michael J. Fox: Stuart Little, Back To The Future), class clown and champion of the nerds falls for the girlfriend of town aristocrat Beau Middleton (Anthony Edwards: E.R., Revenge Of The Nerds), Beau and his preppy friends set out to ruin Jay Jay's reputation. But Jay Jay refuses to bow down to the King of the Preps and, pulling out all the stops, is determined to prove that nice guys don't always finish last!

total 80s cheesiness at its best - Ms_Mel
I want to give this five stars. Not because it is a fantastic movie (because it certainly is not)but because of its brilliance in the marketing of the 80s teen sitcom star and the formulaic storyline that can only be done in an ABC after-school special. If you were ever pondering what certain people did back in the day or even, "oh that guy/girl...I wonder where they are now", then this his the movie for you. There is even a bit of a moment's pause when you see Dana Plato at probably the height of her career. But be forwarned...this is NOT a good movie. Think Grease meets Revenge of the Nerds meets Facts of Life goes to Down Under and you might just get it.
