In
this modern update of the classic 1987 teen comedy Can’t
Buy Me Love, our hero is high-school senior Alvin Johnson
(Nick Cannon), a brilliant, likable outcast who has
come to regret the years of intellectual endeavors that
prevented him and his un-hip friends from socializing,
getting girlfriends and hanging out with the super-cool
“Elite” kids. When queen of the Elites, Paris
Morgan (Christina Milian) wrecks her mother’s car,
Alvin steps in and mortgages his future to help her
out. The catch: In exchange for $1500 in car parts and
Alvin’s automotive expertise, Paris agrees to “fake
a front” with him to convince the school that they’re
dating. The question is: can Alvin rein in his newfound
ego before he loses his true friends, his chance for
a scholarship and a shot at a real relationship with
Paris? |

You
know you're getting old when a movie bills itself as
a modern update of a 1987 classic. Wow! I wonder if
they had TV back then in the dark ages. |
