Operating under the apparent belief that every generation needs its own insipid teen comedy, Warner Bros. Pictures has remade 1987’s Can’t Buy Me Love, in which a dorky teen (Nick Cannon this time) pays the most popular girl in school to date him.
Sure, the earlier Patrick Dempsey flick has its defenders – most likely they could be found on shows such as VH1’s “I Love the ’80s” – but sometimes nostalgia should remain unexplored.
