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. <I>--Marshall Fine</I> Reader Reviews 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.
