Starts well, but the early comic buoyancy deflates quickly.

...How a formulaic laff riot with a risqué slant is done.

Only in a genre that includes Private School and Joy Sticks could Secret Admirer be considered a good movie, but this one's actually got some laughs!

Another predictable teen romance from the 80s, but it does have a good cast and a couple of funny scenes.
