Of course, the whole plot is unrealistic where a nerd meets the most beautiful girl. It also was a comedy with honesty about how a lot of how we males felt during the 1980s. There was enormous pressure from movies, music, and just the world around us to grow up and succeed. Jon Cryer is a very good actor, and he shows a character who is raised by a single mom and just wants to be a successful photographer. Along the way, he meets a singer (Moore) who is his dream girl. There is the usual cliche of an 80s movies plot, but ending really sold the film to me. He did not exactly run away with the girl and live happily ever after. She had her own life to live and goals. However, I think the ending reallly nailed down how we males of the 80s generation did not have the machoism anymore, yet we were expected to be so much to become an adult. If an unrealistic fantasy, still it really showed the reality of societal expectations during the 1980s.
