Can't Buy Me Love

“Ronald is making an investment in his senior year. He's hiring the prettiest cheerleader in school to be his girlfriend.”

Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey), a nerdy high schooler, pays cheerleader Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) $1,000 after she ruins her mother's designer clothes. In return, she has to act as his girlfriend for a month. Steve Rash follows the deal as Ronald climbs the school's social ladder, and as the friend he leaves behind gets harder to ignore, since being popular and being liked are different things.
