PRESENTED ON 35mm!
On Feb 27th, HOLD UP is throwing it all the way back to 1987 with the classic teen rom-com CAN‘T BUY ME LOVE.
Starring Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson, and featuring a very young Seth Green, CAN‘T BUY ME LOVE tells the story of high school nerd Ronald Miller, who decides to buy his way into the popular crowd by renting the it-girl cheerleader Cindy Mancini. Just as Cindy begins to fall for Ronald, his popularity begins to go to his head.
Despite its liberal use of the “R” word, and a healthy dose of cultural appropriation, CAN‘T BUY ME LOVE is a heartfelt teen film about shallowness and the clique dynamic. After all, it’s hard enough just being yourself. (ALICE ROSE)
