It had been a few decades since Canedy Knowles last saw the 1987 teen rom-com Can't Buy Me Love. Would time prove kind to this film for which she had a fondness? Were her memories of a film in which the kindly young nerd version of that man who would become McDreamy teaches the coolest girl in school about the value of hard work something that would bear true upon revisiting the film, or was the real premise of the film considerably darker than she'd recalled? Did Patrick Dempsey still play a cute nerdy boy, or did his character's charms wear thin quickly? Did the film still play as a cute teen romantic comedy, or did Cindy Mancini have to settle for someone who did not deserve her?

Can't Buy Me Love can be found on most VOD platforms and Tubi.

A custom recreation of Cindy's mother's white faux suede outfit can be found here: Custom Costumes Caprio on Etsy
