Alright friends, since today is #ThrowbackThursday, I figured it would be fun to talk about an oldie but goodie. Today we are going to talk about one of my favorites Can't Buy Me Love featuring the ever so handsome Patrick Dempsey (can you say YUMMY?). This gem was first introduced in 1987 and still has a hold on our hearts today. Well mine at least. If you have never seen this movie, you need to stop what you are doing right now, get on Netflix and watch it. It is on there I promise, I just checked. If you don't want any spoilers however, stop reading now. I am pretty much going to tell you all about it.
So the adorkable Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey) desperately wants to be a part of the "IN" crowd, and he thinks he has figured out a way to do that. He pays the head cheerleader Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) $1,000 to pretend to be his girlfriend. Popular by association right? Well it works, things are going good for little Ronald Miller. A little too good. He starts to forget who he is. His morals get compromised and he realizes he has started to hurt people he loves just to be popular. He comes to this revelation and decides to come clean with everyone about the bribe and goes back to being plain old Ronald. The kid who mows everyones lawn.
But by finally seeing his wrong ways and confronting the jocks and popular kids about the way they treat the "nerds" (see GIF above), Cindy Mancini realizes she loves plain old Ronald and they ride off in to the sunset together on his lawn mower. And she puts on his gross sweaty hat, but that is besides the point. Who wouldn't fall in love with this guy? I mean look at him!! Who knew he would one day grow up to be McDreamy of Grey's Anatomy. So that is my pick for this #ThrowbackThursday.
