Andrew shaves off his beard, cuts his hair, and enrolls in Patrick's high school, pretending to be 17 years old. Cryer does a great job of

this movie is fun to watch, but mostly as a way to remember the fashions and styles of 1980s high school

A fun, fast comic-thriller that serves the talents of Cryer magnificently

Great disguise, Cryer -- EXACTLY the sort of look you want when you don't want to call attention to yourself.
