He's My Girl

A coupla posters have slagged this off, but it isn't really that bad. It has obviously been inspired by Hoffman's Tootsie film, and adds a new spin on the genre, if I can call it a genre. TK Carter's pretty funny with his over the top impressions and rubber faced expressions. And, it is refreshing to see some black actors in a love story.

Tasty Tasha!!

One of my favourite childhood films that carries memories and not to be taken seriously. A fun look into the past with wacky comedy from some interesting characters. TK plays his role awesomely for it to be such a plain story line. Overall great comedy simply because the actors were fabulous to me. You can't possibly look to take this piece seriously. I look at this film as a piece of 80's pop culture. Nowadays this would just be considered cheese but as a child of the 80's I can appreciate the zanyness each actor put into their character which is just lain stupid good fun. Watch this without judgment.

I used to watch this movie because it came on all the on HBO in the 80's when I was 5 or 6 years old. I didn't realize just how bad it was and forgot all about this piece of sh*t movie until 20 something years later when it appeared on netflix. I watched it for nostalgic reasons. It was definitely terrible. What I couldn't believe is how they got so many songs cleared in this movie. Oh and that horrible actress is Jennifer Tilly. I was also surprised at how this movie even got produced. I think the main actor singer/songwriter guy just bailed out of Hollywood completely. I looked up the director and she went on to direct typical 80's and 90's shows.

He' My Girl is yet another one of those role-switching 80s comedies. An aspiring rock stars' manager (Carter) invests his clients money in six hundred entries into a contest whereby the selected winner will win a trip to L.A. for a week. They'll get to meet washed up pop rocker, Simon Sledge. The duo look at the contest as the perfect opportunity to get Brian (the aspiring rocker) recognized since he'll be around all of the industry hot shots. But, the catch is, that the contest requires that the winner bring a date, and the only way Brian's manager will get to go is--you guessed it--by dressing up as a woman.

It's the usual role-switching comedy and follows the same tired story line. The manager is a little too cocky and finds a girlfriend while he's out of disguise. Meanwhile, Brian, too, falls in love. And the two start to find it quite difficult to keep up the charade. The ending was a bit funnier than the rest of the movie, but you've been warned, expect the same old, same old. It even has that peppy 80s intro credits.

But, this comedy is recommended for you if you love performances by TK Carter. If you do, you're in for a real treat since he basically steals the show (what an underrated actor). Other than that, this movie is nothing remotely special.

absolutely unfunny insulting film that has no purpose to exist; horribly acted and completely unfunny; Jen Tilly is wasted; this film should be avoided at all costs!! 0 of 10
