Before Patrick Dempsey became everyone's favorite McDoctor on Grey's Anatomy and a Rom Com leading man in movies like Sweet Home Alabama and Enchanted he had an entirely different kind of acting career. In fact, McDreamy made his name playing the lovable McNerd in movies like Loverboy and this weeks DVD pick, Can't Buy Me Love.
The original Title of the movie was actually, "Boy Rents Girl" - Hello??? porno much?
When Ronald Miller tires of being a nerd and spending Saturdays at an all geek poker table he makes a deal with one of the most popular girls in school to help him become ultra cool. He offers her a thousand dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. His plan totally works, but he soon learns that the price of popularity may be higher than he originally paid.
With memorable quotes like:
Chuckie Miller: Cards with the tards. Who could beat a night of cards, chips, dips and dorks?
Patty: I mean, he went from totally geek, to totally chic!
Kenneth Wurman: Look, It's the African ant eater ritual!
This 80's classic gave hope to the 'Everyguy' and had cheerleaders looking at the lawnboy in a whole new light. For about 5 minutes.
