Young stockbroker Max Hauser (Jon Cryer) has been selling fake bonds for the mob. When his mob contact is put on trial, the mobster's colleagues attempt to kill him -- so he changes his name to Andrew and enrolls in a high school as a cover. For a while, he enjoys being a troublemaker, starting a relationship with classmate Ryan Campbell (Annabeth Gish) and even pondering a run for class president. But it's only a matter of time before the mob tracks him down.

Why is it that good movie ideas are always being interrupted by goons with guns, and obligatory chase and fight scenes, just when we would actually be interested in how the characters were really feeling?

2.5/5

A chaste "yeesh" is still a "yeesh," and the movie never hits that "Beverly Hills Cop" sweet spot it's clearly chasing from the opening-credits song. But it remains watchable thanks to Jon Cryer, Annabeth Gish and 1980s teen-movie MVP Keith Coogan.

For once, though, a teen movie where obnoxious nerds and general dimwittedness usually reign supreme, displays refreshing wit and recognizable emotions. That is no small feat.

this movie is fun to watch, but mostly as a way to remember the fashions and styles of 1980s high school
