Agreed.
I agree that this movie does not enjoy the popularity it deserves among other 80 teen movies. I think this movie, along with Some Kind of Wonderful, does the best job of playing out what really happens when worlds collide between different high school cliques.
I really enjoyed your comparison review.
Correct. Remember how Ronnie was so enthused about staging a big lover's quarrel for their break up and Cindy was suggesting a small dignified ceremony? After she said they shouldn't do anything to damage his reputation he pretty much tuned her out.
So the next day at school she clearly wanted to let Ronnie know how she really felt about him, but he was already in cool guy overdrive. He was literally dancing on a table to the delight of the crowd when she approached him. The scene was very cleverly done with Cindy trying to get Ronnie to tone it down and him believing it was all part of the act.
I still cringe at the previous scene at the Airplane Graveyard when their major miscommunication occurs, but of course, that is the major plot twist that makes the movie great!
Right. It's one thing to borrow your mom's credit cards for back-to-school shopping. Totally different to disobey a direct order and then ruin your mom's 1000.00 outfit. Even if your mother is not all that strict it's not unreasonable to believe that Cindy was terrified of what she had done and didn't just have a thousand bucks laying around to fix it.
Bill. His "Seven Minutes in Heaven" scene with Vicky Appleby is epic.

Quint. On the very first day of school he; stole a kid's lunch, intimidated another kid to sit somewhere else, and tried to intimidate Ronnie into sitting somewhere else all in less than a minute!
Bill without a doubt. His scene with Vicky Appleby during their "Seven Minutes in Heaven" is epic.
Yep.
Daniel: Come on. Let's go out to the patio.
Lindsay: The smoking patio?!
I give it a slight edge over the Breakfast Club. It's almost a sequel in some ways. Can't Buy Me Love gives us some insight into what may have happened if Claire and Brian from The Breakfast Club had remained friends when they got back to school that following Monday.
