In this iconic rom-com, moptopped dorkus Patrick Dempsey pays off a bodacious cheerleader to date him for a month, betting that it’ll turn him from totally geek to totally chic.
When their amorous arrangement comes to an end, the ROI is better than he bargained for, and newly hip Dempsey finds he can do no wrong—most notably when he takes dance lessons from an anthropological study of Swahili tribesmen on PBS (mistaking it for American Bandstand) and persuades the entire high school to join him in a synchronized “African Anteater” ritual. Like the Beatles tune of its namesake, Can’t Buy Me Love is a breezy pop ditty, just as infectious all these years later.
