Plot
Ronald Miller is tired of being a nerd, and makes a deal with the head cheerleader and most popular girl (Cindy Mancini) in school to help him break into the "cool" clique. He offers her a thousand dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. It succeeds, but he soon learns that the price of popularity may be higher than he expected when he ditches his nerdy but loyal true friends and he discovers how shallow and narcissistic the populars can be while also discovering his true feelings for Cindy.Cast

Quotes
"He went from totally geek to totally chic." -PattyNotes
- There is a long standing debatehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092718/board/nest/15039999 as to whether Darcy DeMoss's bare breasts are visible in an original unedited version of the scene with Ronald and Patty alone in the car. So far, no real proof of the nudity has surfaced other than fan testimonies. It is somewhat similar to the debate over whether swear words were in the original version of the film from 1986.
