Critic Reviews for Johnny Be Good

Two of the screenwriters, Steve Zacharias and Jeff Buhai, also wrote Revenge of the Nerds, so it's not surprising that they're more interested in tame teen-age fantasies than in social satire.
The people who made this movie should be ashamed of themselves.
If Chuck Berry were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.
Johnny be worthless.
Reflects the mentality of great swaths of artless, ignorant slobs.
It's not funny, it tells a surface story and nothing more, and there's no sense of effort to correct any of these deficiencies.
Audience Reviews for Johnny Be Good
Wacky, Wild, and a HILLARIOUS made movie!!! (:
Super Reviewer
It's movies like this that give 80s teen flicks a bad reputation. The actors are good, but the dialogue and story are stupid and pointless. I hated this movie.
Super Reviewer
It's a slightly more sexed up and extreme version of the John Hughes formula, but in a good way. Anthony Michael Hall plays a great jock after being stereotyped as a shy nerd in most roles. RDJ also throws in a knockout as his kooky best friend. I liked the story because it had a real life feel to it and there were real consequences to everyone's actions. When it does get over the top, it's absolutely hilarious and a purely 80s experience.
