Can't Buy Me Love (HBO)

What's the price of being popular? For one high school nerd, it's $1,000. That's how much Patrick Dempsey pays the school beauty to go out with him for a month so everyone will think he's cool. But things take a surprising turn in this teen comedy with heart. Co-starring Amanda Peterson and Dennis Dugan. Directed by Steve Rash; written by Michael Swerdlick.
