Plot: Romantic Teen Comedy. In this modern update of the classic 1987 teen comedy Can't Buy Me Love, our hero is high-school senior Alvin Johnson (Nick Cannon), a brilliant, likable outcast who has come to...( read more read more... ) regret the years of intellectual endeavors that prevented him and his un-hip friends from socializing, getting girlfriends and hanging out with the super-cool "Elite" kids. When queen of the Elites, Paris Morgan (Christina Milian) wrecks her mother's car, Alvin steps in and mortgages his future to help her out. The catch: In exchange for $1500 in car parts and Alvin's automotive expertise, Paris agrees to "fake a front" with him to convince the school that they're dating. The question is: can Alvin rein in his newfound ego before he loses his true friends, his chance for a scholarship and a shot at a real relationship with Paris?

    Oh, don't you just love Nick Cannon. He should have stayed with Christina Milian! Him and Mariah are cute though!

    What can I possibly say about this film that you couldn't surmise by looking at the movie poster for 30 seconds? It's exactly what you think it's going to be.

    While LDCAT is not horrible, it has very few redeeming qualities. The character that Steve Harvey plays at the beginning of the film (because it seems like he's playing two different people) provides moderate entertainment.

    Don't bother with this one.

    This was a cute remake of Can't Buy Me Love. My favorite scene was when the father brought in all the different types of condoms (ribbed, etc) and was explaining when to use them.

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Especially being a remake of an 80's film (Can't Buy Me Love). Interesting twist. Unneccessary, in my opinion.

    crap, crap crap! Cheap remake that tried too hard to be cool. Nick Cannon fell on his face in this one. Christina Millian is good looking and a decent singer but her acting skills are still not all that great.
