Key Performances:

  Vanessa Marano
  Riley Voelkel
  Mike Ditka Cameos
Movie Haiku:Payton (Connell) must negotiate the high school dating scene while his widowed father (Belushi) gets parenting advice from one-time Bears Coach Mike Ditka. But in this film (unlike most in this genre) the girls are actually smart: the cheerleader (Voelkel) has a plan & the dorkette (Marano) has the patience to see it thru. Sweet, funny, & quite enjoyable. Not yet seen by Rich.
