Can't Buy Me Love Patrick Dempsey puts The Beatle's lyric to the test and sees what $1,000 will get him; more than he bargained for…

Plot Ronald Miller (Dempsey) is the campus nerd, a geek, a poindexter. When cheerleading beauty Cindy Mancini (Peterson) finds herself $1000 out of pocket, Ronald offers her the cash, so long as she poses as his girlfriend for a month. Verdict Can't Buy Me Love is sharp in its focus and, whilst leaving the darker moral issues untapped, it undoubtedly works as Pretty Woman for teens.
