Product Description:
At 14 years old, Lukas is a bit too small for his age, and far too smart for his high school classmates. He's more interested in symphonies and science fairs than food fights and football. But when Lucas finds himself falling in love with a cheerleader, who only has eyes for the school's top jock, he grows desperate for her attention, Even if it means risking his pride and his neck at the big game.
Amazon.com:
A surprisingly engaging story of puppy love and friendship in a teen setting, this film focuses on the title character (Corey Haim), who is nerdy but winningly outgoing. He falls madly for a new girl in town (Kerri Green); since school is out for the summer, he becomes her only friend--until she meets his hunky pal (Charlie Sheen). Meanwhile, Lucas ignores the romantic yearnings of another female pal (Winona Ryder, in her screen debut). Written and directed by David Seltzer, this one is a charmer with substance, featuring strong, open performances by its young cast. It's also fascinating to watch today, more than a decade later, and consider what became of these performers: while Ryder grew to be one of Hollywood's brightest lights, Haim descended into substance abuse, as did Sheen, whose predilection for call girls also made him a talk-show punch line. --Marshall Fine

- Lucas

Rating: - 80's movie
this was in my opinion a good movie. it's about a 14 year old kid who comes from the wrong side of the tracks and he falls in love with a beautiful 16 year old girl who's willing to be his friend but is in love with a football player. everyone including most of the football players are mean to him but become friends in the end.
Rating: 
- Very good
This was a great movie. Kids and adults can both enjoy it. I am from Australia and It was hard to buy this movie in Australian shops so I bought it on Amazon. It was a Christmas present for my Nephew who is 13. He loved it. Its a good wholesome movie that many people may never of heard of because its old but its a great film for kids.
Rating: - Great movie and sad at the end I always cry
I just want to say that I love this movie.Cory Haim plays this hs student Lucas who is so interested in this girl that he joins the football team just to impress her so she would consider him.He's so tiny and gets hurt pretty bad and winds up in the hospital, but in the end he goes back to school and they all clap for him and it has a very happy ending.Great movie and sad at the end I always cry because I'm so happy for Lucas.
