Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the best films of its time! I watch it over and over!

I was in high school when this movie was released on the Wonderful World of Disney. I recall being really nerdy and in love with a hot girl. This is the basis of most of these types of movies. What does one do if you're trapped? I knew that life was beyond high school, but for the time being...you had to make it bearable. Which is why this movie is a perfect capture of that time of your life. Yes, it's really goofy 90's humor. But the leads play it so genuine, you forget the silly set-up. As a teen movie, it is actually pretty sophisticated, in that, it sets you up of their scheme, then takes a serious turn, only to allow it to finish...well, not your typical happy ending, but a satisfying genuine ending.I truly liked this movie. But it isn't for everyone. We're very cynical nowadays. The kids of this generation will "get" the goofiness. And how awesome it was to watch this on a Sunday night (I believe it was originally hosted by Michael Eisner). A nice turn on the lesson of being-who-you- are.

When I was about 7 years old and this movie came on television my mother taped it and I would watch it over and over again, I loved it. I have over the years lost the tape and would love to get a copy of if anyone knows where I can find one let me know or if anyone knows if it ever comes out on video let me know. I thought that this movie was very entertaining and it helped me learn that people are not always nice and sometimes you have to do things to get where you want. I think that television was a lot better than it is today. I loved it when Disney put this movies on Sunday nights, our family gathered around to watch a nice clean movie.

I loved this movie and would like to purchase it on DVD. If anyone knows where I can get one let me know. I have been searching for awhile.We watched this back in 1987 and even my kids loved it. Viveta Davis is great in this movie. It is about two nerdy kids that want to be noticed in high school and to be liked. They go to great lengths to prepare themselves to lie about being foreign exchange students and they end up being in a big mess.They made each other out to be very popular until everyone and including the principal finds out that they lied. Toward the end they really find out that they didn't need to lie to find out that they were made for each other and ended with a kiss. Kat
