Summary: 4 Stars
Everyone relates to Lucas on some level. He was an awkward kid with quirky interests and an ernest manner about him. I realize now looking at him in contrast to the other popular kids exactly what makes a person "well liked" in certain situations. Honesty and sincerity seem to not make someone popular, and if you have other interests besides being the star of the team then you're odd, and your worth is measured by something else entirely.
Corey Haim, in perhaps his most famous and successful role, plays the dorky kid Lucas. He befriends a pretty new girl in town and they become very close over the summer. Once school starts, she begins to branch out and meet new people, including the star quarterback Charlie Sheen. Lucas becomes naturally jealous that the gal he had developed a crush on is becoming smitten with someone else and not acknowledging his more gentile charms, and even attempts to join the football team in hopes of getting her approval. Beaten up by the steroid ridden jocks and crushed on the field, he never gives up on his dream of someday winning her over.
It's a noble thought, but now this leaves a lot of things up to questioning people's character. When Charlie Sheen's girlfriend dumps him, he comes to Lucas's fair lady for comfort. When Lucas shows up to take her to the school dance, she announces that she will not be going with him but taking Charlie Sheen out for pizza. If she truly had integrity she would've forgone her love for Charlie Sheen for that one night and stuck to her obligation. Charlie Sheen was supposed to be the reformed jock who saw what a great person Lucas really was, and he does defend him when others try to bully, but if he was really a friend he would've stepped aside and said to the dream girl that while he cares for her he doesn't want to hurt Lucas's feelings so they should put it aside. As for Lucas, he told the dream girl that he lived on a house on the hill when he actually lives in a trailer park. He wanted her to like him for who he was not the fact that he was a kid from a trailer park, but the bottem line was that he lied as well. Maybe none of them had all that much integrity to begin with, but it is, after all, high school.
