Just One of the Guys (1985)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 5/06

5/06: Just One of the Guys is one of the all-time great cult pictures that's charmingly funny which had me laughing a lot during the hilarious moments.

Pretty much, the film is about a high school girl pretending to be a boy. It also has a wonderful, quirky set of characters. Billy Jacoby gives the best performance of the show. He's highly likeable as the sex-crazed brother, making for a good character study.

Although Joyce Hyser looks pretty, she was 28 years old in this, and her performance isn't convincing. However, her charm and the film's sense of humor are enough to compensate for it.

All in all, Just One of the Guys is unique in the presentation of the subject, and it's fun to watch.
