Summary: On the last day before summer
vacations Michael receives a glowing, but anonymous,
love-letter. He suspects, or better: hopes, it's from
Deborah, the girl he's after since a while, but who
dates college students only. However she shows him
a cold shoulder again. So his and her best friend
Toni advises him to write her an anonymous letter
in return. However these letters get in the wrong
hands and cause lots of confusion in their families,
until it's revealed, who wrote which letter to whom.
Comments:
Secret
Admirer along with Can't Buy Me Love are two of the
most underrated 80s movies I've seen. It is rated
R so it is realistic with how teenagers act/talk (sex,
partial nudity, f-bombs, drinking, etc.) but it still
has heart. C. Thomas Howell is extremely likeable
as the lead as is Lori Loughlin (Jesse's wife in Full
House) as his female friend. Kelly Preston (John Travolta's
real-life wife) is annoying but extremely hot (hooray
for boobies!). Scott McGinnis plays the typical bad
guy well, I laugh when he runs after the van after
the guys crash the frat party (watch that mullet swing!).
The movie is extremely funny is subtle ways that many
will not understand because it is above the bodily
fluids humor in teen movies today. It also has a strong
80s supporting cast including Corey Haim as Howell's
younger brother, Dee Wallace-Stone as his mom (also
the mom in E.T.), Fred Ward as Preston's Dad (Tremors,
Remo Williams), and Courtney Gains as Howell's friend
who is also in my other underrated 80s movie, Can't
Buy Me Love. In my top 5 80s movies and I've seen
a lot, 10 out of 10!
