Plot Summary
She's 18. She's great-looking. And now Terry Grifith is about to set off an epidemic of comic hysteria when she enrolls in a new high school... as Just One of the Guys! Terry (Joyce Hyser) blames sexism after her journalism teacher refuses to enter her article in a competition to win a summer internship on the local newspaper. With the help of her kid brother, Buddy (Billy Jacoby), she masquerades as a male at a rival school and enters the contest there. During her charade, "Terry the Boy" tangles with a vicious bully, Greg (William Zabka), and fends off an amorous classmate, Sandy (Sherilyn Fenn). But when she falls for a handsome loner, Rick (Clayton Rohner), our hero/heroine must find a way to convince him that she's not Just One of the Guys!

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The film is a bit too fashion conscious to make a very strong point about appearances not meaning anything.
Rotten: Joyce Hyser, affecting a lower register, a short haircut, and a subtle swagger, is not totally convincing as a boy because she's too pretty and too chic.

A must see film!
Innapropriate!
Great Plot in this movie, but needs acting skills! Not a family movie! This should not be shown to anyone young! Lots of nudity and sex! Should definitly not be PG.
Entertaining movie
Kind of ticked off that iTunes doesn't have the soundtrack for this movie, trying to get the "Hard Way" song that is played by the band during the prom toward the end of the movie. The movie is good though, entertaining, fun to watch.
