Budding teenage journalist Terry Griffith (Joyce Hyser) can't seem to get a break--her good looks inspire drooling from her sexist male teachers, while her "perfect" college boyfriend just wants her as a trophy. So when she's rejected for an internship, she goes undercover at a rival school for a second chance--as a boy. While undercover, Terry must fend off a bully (William Zabka) and a potential girlfriend (Sherilyn Fenn). But true gender-bending chaos results when she falls for classmate Rick (Clayton Rohner). JUST ONE OF THE GUYS is a quintessential 1980s teen film. [More]

Most of the male-female situations Terry finds herself in are played for laughs, and the film eventually sinks into an all too typical conclusion, but the observations regarding the nature of sexuality are interesting and well handled.

Joyce Hyser, affecting a lower register, a short haircut, and a subtle swagger, is not totally convincing as a boy because she's too pretty and too chic.

Innocuously likable little mini-Tootsie.

Just One of the Guys is worth repeated viewing, especially for Hyser's hilarious and charismatic performance.

Innocuous and highly-spirited screwball comedy about changing genders in a zany nod for advancement. Gottlieb's nutty narrative is inspired in its cheap laughs

The film is a bit too fashion conscious to make a very strong point about appearances not meaning anything.
