ction Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Has there ever been a better movie about a stock broker on the run from the mafia posing as a high school student and living in his teenage cousin's bedroom? I sincerely doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I swear there was a near-duplicate of this movie about a year or two later, which I thought starred a very young Matthew Perry. But according to imdb, I'm dreaming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite of these is probably the most underrated one, with George Burns in it. Which I don't know that I ever actually saw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 That one co-starred Charlie Schlatter, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also a big fan of the 'girls/guys who either turn into and/or pose as dudes/girls' genre...or maybe i'm just a big fan of the prom shirt ripping scene in 'Just One of the Guys', the locker room scene from 'Private School' and Ellen Barkin's beach scene in 'Switch'.

'White Chicks' ruined the whole 'white/black person posing as a black/white person' genre for me and almost ruined the 'girls/guys who either turn into and/or pose as dudes/girls' genre as well...but the power of Joyce Hyser's yabos is just too strong.
