Jon "I'm Not Matthew Broderick!" Cryer had what appeared to be a breakthrough role in this diverting but inconsequential romantic comedy. (Still, once you've broken through, you need to follow up, something Cryer didn't manage.) In fact, it proved to be more of a springboard for its other star, a then-little-known soap-opera star named Demi Moore. Cryer plays a high-school photographer with a colossal crush on a budding female rock star (Moore). She thinks he's cute--like a puppy--but he thinks her interest indicates the kind of romantic longing only a teenage boy would fantasize about with an older woman. Still, when her love life tanks, this eager beaver is there to console her, thoroughly misreading her intentions. What wit this film has springs from Cryer's kinetic, fast-talking performance as the kind of perpetually wise-cracking kid that was Broderick's stock-in-trade at that point. Otherwise, it's the kind of story only an adolescent male would find believable and moving. --Marshall Fine

 Watchable but cheesy April 5, 2009
J. Dykstra (Roswell, NM)
This movie seems very dated. Some 80s movies still play well, but this one seems to suffer a little more from time than others. The basic storyline about a kid who uses his savings to help someone find her future is kind of cute, but the details of the movie are cheesy be it the somewhat unrealistic photography angle, the gratuitous 1980s topless scenes or the obvious lip-synching of Demi Moore. There's just something about this movie that doesn't quite click for me, but it's still not too bad as far as old movies go.
No small affair March 24, 2008
L. Miller (Minnetonka, Minnesota)
This movie is a bit of a guilty pleasure, silly 80's costumes and all. I especially enjoy Jon Cryer's "coming of age" portrayal. He's true to his love of photography, tolerates his crazy family with wry humor, and follows his own path. But when that path intersects with Demi Moore, his well-intentioned attempts to win her favor are classic. Formulaic or not, he and Demi bring a charm to the movie that makes it a personal favorite over and above some of the more well-known 80's hits by the Brat Pack.
No Small Cab Fare September 4, 2007
C. A. Luster (Burke, VA USA)
I must admit I'm a Cryer fan. I loved him in "Pretty in Pink" and "Hiding Out". This movie was a major intro for him and he does a fine job portraying a teen that falls in love with an older woman. As he photographs the scenic city of San Francisco some people won't get out of his Ansel Adams type pictures. Lucky for him as one of them turns out to be the gorgeous young Demi Moore. When he meets her and finds out she has a husky singing voice he falls in love and ends up spending lots of money to make sure she becomes well known. A fun romantic comedy that everyone should see at least once. I bought the DVD and the quality is good but it is overpriced since it doesn't contain any extras.

 My Funny Valentine April 24, 2005

This movie wasn't bad for an 80's teen comedy and nearly the entire cast ended up becoming "brand name" actors but my favorite part of this movie was also the scene where Laura sings "My Funny Valentine"...the voice belongs to Chrissy Faith. She is great and is grammy nominated and a world reknowned session singer for Cyndi Lauper and many others. I believe she is much better than a lot of the "Divas" we hear on the radio now like that boring Mariah Carey and mediocre Beyonce Knowles and chicks like Britney who doesn't even have a voice.
