This movie has always been awesome. Sheryl Fenn compared Terry's style in the movie to Ralph Macchio, but I always thought she was trying to play a fast talking Mike Damone type from Fast Times.

aTomiK, I remember when you first posted that cover with the soccer balls replacing the football helmets. Definitely, crafty marketing by someone at the time.

I remember it was on TV all the time! I watched it every time it was on. I've only ever seen it on cable, so I need to rent it! lol

I grew up on this one. Even with all the cheesy bad acting, I will always love it.

"Just One of the Guys" has a stellar cast with Joyce Hyser, Deborah Goodrich, Clayton Rohner, Sherilyn Fenn, and William Zabka.
This movie offers tons of 80's nostalgia in my opinion.
I can't mention "Just One of the Guys" without commending Billy Jayne for one of the most hilarious and memorable performances ever as Buddy.
"Don't get me wrong. It's not like I've never had sex before; I've had lots of sex. It's just that now I'd like to try it with a partner."
And if you miss your 80's clothes, you can enjoy some classic 80's fashion throughout the movie. Those outrageous outfits that Deborah Goodrich wore were actually quite popular....I think??
But best of all is the awesome Ronnie Spector song "Tonight You're Mine Baby" that is played a couple times during the movie.
I totally enjoyed the setting for the prom on the beach. The theme was "Passion In Paradise"....check out that huge banner in the background at the cafeteria and then later at the beach above the Brock/Davis band.
Any new fans of this movie?

Speaking of the beach prom.. I always enjoyed the dance that Rick and Terry do at the prom.
Also, while I'm a fan of Terry and understand why Rick and her ended up together.. it would have been difficult for me personally to break-up with Deborah.

I've only seen this once Valley, about a year ago after some promting from the Rewind. I really enjoyed it and wouldn't mind seeing it again. This movie, in addition to a handful of others, is a big reason why I love the Rewind so much. This is one of the classics I missed in the 80's and likely never would have seen it without the advice of my fellow Rewinders. I love love love experiencing 80's movies for the first time as an adult and get really excited when they stand the test of time.....Just One Of The Guys, Modern Girls, Real Genius, Night of the Comet....all movies I never would have seen...

The great thing about this movie... the really great thing, is just how much fun the cast seem to be having. At no point does the film take itself too seriously.
Valley, you've prompted me to watch it again. Cheers!
