If you were around in the 1980s, then you might just remember the 1985 teen comedy film ‘Just One of the Guys’. This film was loosely based on ‘Twelfth Night’ by William Shakespeare and adapted into s screenplay by Dennis Felchman and Jeff Franklin. It was directed by Lisa Gottlieb and starred Joyce Hyser, Clayton Rohner, Billy Jacoby, Toni Hudson, and William Zabka. The film is about an attractive female girl who wants to become a journalist. She thinks that her teachers do not take her seriously and that this is either because of her looks or because she is

Songs On Screen: All week HitFix will be featuring tributes by writers to their favorite musical moments from TV and film. Check out all the entries in the series here. When we talk about underrated directors, it's hard not to mention Walter Hill. Hill is an underrated director, the way Michael Ritchie and Peter Yates were underrated directors, the way Roger Donaldson, Joe Dante, and Fred Schepisi are underrated directors. They’re all underrated because it’s only when you look at their filmographies that the numbers start to total up and you realize, boy, he directed a lot of really good movies. In Hill’s case, that list includes "The Warriors," "48 Hours," "The Long Riders," "Southern Comfort,: "Hard Times," "Trespass," and "Wild Bill." Some great. Some solid. (My personal favorite of those is Hard Times, a pulpy film about bare-knuckle boxers in the Great Depression.) There were clunkers...

Greg (Eric Szmanda) Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) Db (Ted Danson) and Ecklie (Marc Vann) attend the opening of the Mob museum, officially opened by former Mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman (Oscar Goodman). Db does the rounds with Ecklie and then talks to Catherine and Greg about the two wives standing with the wife Joanna (Frances Fisher) of the hitman, Vinny Sapphire who killed their husbands. As the Mayor toasts all hell breaks loose as shots are fired shattering his martini glass and hitting him three times. Sheriff Liston (Barbara Eve Harris) also at the event wants Ecklie and Db to get to the bottom of this pronto. The CSIs compare notes and find shots were fired from two different areas of the room. Db finds the gun behind one of the dummies, a .38, as is the weapon of choice in a mob hit and the shooter would always characteristically dump the gun at the scene.

There’s a theory that you can tell more about a society from its “low-brow” pop culture than you can from its high art. If that’s true, there’s not too much that’s more low-brow than the teen sex comedy, movies which are usually celebrations of male promiscuity and debauchery – often with a vague or bittersweet moral tacked on at the end.
What are teen sex comedies saying about gay people?
Surprisingly, the news lately is pretty good. A trio of recent teen sex comedies, Easy A, She’s Out of My League, and I Love You, Beth Cooper, have either included sympathetic gay teen characters, or joked about gay themes in surprisingly progressive or inclusive ways.
Of course, gay folks have always existed in teen sex comedies in some form or another. It’s just that they’ve usually appeared either as brief sight gags to be ridiculed or,...

In a sea of boob and fart-filled '80s teen comedies, Lisa Gottlieb's Just One of the Guys is a smarty pants, funny as hell take on the typical high school tropes. It's also the movie where I learned that you could use a broken pencil eraser as an impromptu earring backing! There are a host of colorful characters, including an intelligent and charming lead actress in Joyce Hyser, who portrays Terri Griffith. She's a cute wannabe journalist who wants to be taken seriously but keeps getting the wrong kind of attention, so she enrolls in a rival high school as a boy to prove that women can write their pants off the same as men.
During Terri's journey of self discovery and fight for fair treatment, her super horny brother Buddy (who plasters his bedroom walls with centerfold posters and hilariously hams it up in every scene) tries...
