DVD Synopsis

The sophomore outing for writer/director/actress Troy Beyer, Love Don't Cost a Thing is a romantic teen comedy based on the screenplay for the 1987 Partick Dempsey film Can't Buy Me Love. Nick Cannon stars as Alvin, a brilliant but awkward teenager -- and budding engineer -- who seizes a golden opportunity when popular cheerleader Paris (Christina Milian) wrecks her parents' SUV and is strapped for cash. They strike an agreement: Alvin will do the repairs for free if Paris pretend to be his girlfriend for two weeks, all in the hopes of elevating his social standing. Little does he know, being popular isn't all its cracked up to be. Kal Penn and Steve Harvey co-star. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Nick Cannon and Christina Milian star in this urbanized update of the 1987 teen comedy Can't Buy Me Love. Directed by Troy Beyer, Love Don't Cost a Thing centers on a nerdy high-school student who gets a chance to become popular when he strikes a deal with a cheerleader in need. The film is presented in full-screen with the original English soundtrack mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. There's also a dubbed French track in Dolby Digital Stereo and English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Along with the film itself, the disc features a selection of bonuses, including an alternate ending, a behind-the-scenes documentary, two music videos, and the original theatrical trailer. A widescreen edition with the same features is also available. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

I actually enjoyed this movie, it is a pretty cute twisted kinda romantiv love tale. It would most fit Teenagers or youg adults for they can probably relate to it more as times change over the years!

Once again, Hollywood fails MISERABLY at attempting to remake a movie that was already perfected in, "Can't Buy Me Love", with Patrick Dempsey. This movie was terrible. The actors and actresses were decent I suppose, but it was a completely unoriginal plotline. If you want the same plot, but better actors, cinematography, and chemistry, order "Can't Buy Me Love".
