Just One of the Guys (1985)
Member Rating:  
In this uneven teen comedy, an aspiring female high-school journalist assumes a fake male identity after her essay on just that subject -- a woman posing as a male jock -- is rejected in a contest. Miffed by what she assumes is a bias against her gender in the rejection of her essay, Terry (Joyce Hyser) dons the right garb, gets a new haircut, drops her voice down to a suitable male-sounding register and passes herself off as a guy (okay, not believably, but one is willing to go along with the conceit to see what happens). As she soon discovers, moments in the locker room and at phys ed classes can be harrowing, but worse yet, she becomes seriously enamored of Rick (Clayton Rohner) a quiet, good-looking guy who does not run with either the macho or preppie pack. How can she broach the subject of her real identity? Terry's friends have their own romantic interests, all of which are resolved at the high school prom. It just had to be -- this film was followed by one titled Just One of the Girls with another director, and a male cross-dresser as the featured protagonist. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

If you like 80's movies, get this one. It still remains one of my favorite of all time

I had completely forgotten about this gem of a movie from 1985 until just recently. I must say that I enjoyed re-watching this film so much! As you watch it, it will spark wonderful memories. As every actor is introduced, you will think, "Oh, I remember that person! H/She was in a lot of 80s movies." The clothes, the sets, the cars, the music...it is all totally 80s and you will love every moment of it!

This was great. Great teen movie from the 80's, didn't seem to miss a notch. Highly recommend to 80's teens to re watch or to the new teens. This movie stayed in my mind for some reason as one of the teen greats, but not overboard.
