(More customer reviews)You now the scenario; boy meets girl, girl is out of boys league BUT boy has something that girl wants so she takes what she wants and gives him what he wants only to find out that he USED to be everything she ever wanted. This same concept has been used and abused for years. In fact, this very film is a remake. That said; this movie has some serious charm, which really works to its benefit. Not that I'm a huge fan of Mr. Mariah Carey, but he has some nice comedic timing, and his faux swag (I say faux only because he is far more believable as a nerd) is entertaining. Christina Milian is a cutey, and she really comes through as the popular girl lost in a sea of popularity she kind of resents. The message presented, about being yourself and not formulating to the molds of teenage society, is a nice one (albeit an overused and underdeveloped one), and the bouncy infectious teenage quality to the film is nothing short of enjoyable. I kind of loathe Steve Harvey, so his mug gracing the screen was a turn-off, and his ridiculous attempt at emulating Eugene Levy's iconic `American Pie' father role was a total misfire; but you have to expect a film like this to have its downs to balance out the ups. There is absolutely NOTHING new here but overall it's a fun film and if you are looking for this breed of rom-com you could do far worse.

Romantic Teen Comedy. In this modern update of the classic 1987 teen comedy Can't Buy Me Love, our hero is high-school senior Alvin Johnson (Nick Cannon), a brilliant, likable outcast who has come to regret the years of intellectual endeavors that prevented him and his un-hip friends from socializing, getting girlfriends and hanging out with the super-cool "Elite" kids. When queen of the Elites, Paris Morgan (Christina Milian) wrecks her mother's car, Alvin steps in and mortgages his future to help her out. The catch: In exchange for $1500 in car parts and Alvin's automotive expertise, Paris agrees to "fake a front" with him to convince the school that they're dating. The question is: can Alvin rein in his newfound ego before he loses his true friends, his chance for a scholarship and a shot at a real relationship with Paris?DVD Features:Additional ScenesAlternate endings:Paris takes center stage in a surprise alternate endingDocumentary:Marvelous making-of documentaryMusic Video:2 Music Videos: "Shorty (Put it on the Floor)" by platinum selling rap stars Busta Rhymes, Chingy, Fat Joe and film star Nick Cannon "Luv Me Baby" by Murphy Lee Theatrical Trailer
