Overrated

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Okay, more deserving of a 6, but the extra point is awarded because my title is so, so, so true... And there isn't any further episodes to this to make me rue the day I bought the set. Which is more than I can say for two certain TV-shows that started off promising but turned sour, very sour, bitchily sour, the one an all- out man-hating festering hotbed for pointless displays of femi- Nazism. And the kiddie version just made everything male dorky.But okay, enough of that old rant of mine.TEEN WITCH, 1989. I never even heard of it. Big fan of SAVANNAH, 1996 - 1997, though, there, Robyn Lively, not so much. During the second season though, her character began coming into its own (well, at one stage, just before the wheels began to fall off) and I Googled her, and discovered she was in a teen movie. Downloaded a snippet of it, it was that f***awful vomit-worthy rap sequence "Top That" which is truly, truly, truly bad, people who read this without knowing what I am talking about have no idea how bad it is, it positively reeks, not of cheese, but of weeks-old cheese that's been inside a dog and... Anyway, you get the picture. Me too. The sight of a much younger Robyn Lively at the peak of her allure was most inspiring, and I put the movie on my long list of try-to-obtain-these...The Eighties was a time of innocence. That's all I can say. Some things were a whole lot better then. That is very true. In that locker-room dance sequence, you will notice that the girls are very, very All-American, healthy-looking, fresh and clean, no 'girlz from da hood' and no tattoos (that one there is an ankle bracelet, folks!) and just all round absolutely nice. So that's better! But some of the routines, including everything done by the boys, geez, I doubt it could have been seen as that great even way back then. Now it's positively Gaysville. In fact, I think little white lads jumping about like that positively played to a pederast audience. One thing for girls to cavort about, they're timeless beauties, but these guys, they look freaking (unintentionally) queer. It goes without saying that it's instant career suicide for a male (except that one, of course) to have been even remotely seen on this set.And that Ritchie boy deserved to be dropped from the cast, he was so unconvincing as a heckler. Perhaps a force to be reckoned with in his own home to his vulnerable sister, but being of a particularly odd look, kind of like an old woman, he'd have been ridiculed mercilessly beyond the garden gate. Very unconvincing performance, no conviction in the eyes. There must have been scores who could have done better, but, of course, they wisely stayed clear.I liked Robyn, very interesting to see her back in her glory days.Now, back to "I Like Boys" - wow, golly, gee, yes, I am a guy, and, wow, what a surprise, I didn't even expect! Long legs, long hair, and they jump about, arching their feet, and did I mention the long, long legs? This reviewer is only human, and (pant, pant)..."I Like Boys" 10 - 10, Robyn Lively 7 and half - 10, "Top That" belongs on a garbage dump, movie itself a lukewarm response, there are so many off-putting key elements... factoring in some zeitgeist, I'd say 4 - 10. The beauty of the female cast saves it, and sways me, of course!

This movie deserves SOME credit. It's a typical 80s comedy prominently featuring teen angst and high school dilemmas; one of many in it's time during their heyday.There isn't much of a plot, it's a journey of self discovery with an intelligent teenage girl who learns to accept herself. The writer covers a lot of bases from safe sex/birth control, self esteem, insecurities and other feelings about love and dating, irresponsible authority figures and assessing what one needs to be happy as a person. But the movie is FUN to watch, and delivers a hefty dose of cheese you won't forget.

This review is coming from an 18-year-old girl's perspective, so obviously I didn't grow up in the 80s watching this movie as most of the movie reviewers here have. I may be grading this movie quite harshly comparing this movie with the current movies out, but I'm really trying not to. This movie, quite bluntly, is cheesetastic and its plot is unremarkable. Sure, it had its funny bits (((SPOILER: the lead character, Louisa, using a voodoo doll to control her teacher, who has penchant to humiliate Louisa- is a fine example))) and there were moments in the movie in which you probably weren't suppose to laugh, but you'll end up doing so anyway. There were also many predictable moments that had me rolling my eyes when I guessed correctly. If you're like me and didn't grow up in the 80s/ personally witnessed it- you will discover by watching this movie that it's 90 minutes gone out of your life that you will never get back- in my case however it's 72 minutes since megavideo cut me off. I found Dirty Dancing and Footloose much more enjoyable 80s films. However, if you're looking for witch-type films, you may enjoy The Craft much better.

"Louise, i brought your morning pa-pa', i took the liberty of ironing your home-work'!" Ahh... the immortal words of Louise's crazy looking little brother, what an amazing leap for the world of cinema. I am in awe each time i watch this dazzling film. Be it the A-mazing rap sequence or just the HI-larious teacher in the car wash/voodoo doll sequence i cannot get enough of teen witch...but i must say the only flaw in the film is the incredible standard that all of my boyfriends have been held to since the scene in the abandoned house where Brad stands in his tank top daring Louise to "catch" him. well what can i say. this is a no-brainer, peace out dudes.
