Movie Reviews of Secret Admirer (1985) (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I saw this movie back in the 80s and realy liked it. I'm currently deployed and haveing watched it with the family before leaving, ordered it as a "Feel Good" movie to watch after bad days. My kids love they way Lt. Themples police radio can be heard even after the car is crashed and dead in the driveway. By todays standards the language is not extremly harsh (an "F-Bomb" or 2)but Kelly P. drops her top so I have to turn the TV off for a minute when the kids watch it, but they think it's funny too.

Summary of Secret Admirer (1985) (Widescreen Edition)

An anonymous note sets off a romantic chain-mail reaction with hilarious results in this letter-perfect comedy with "something for everybody" (The Washington Post). Flirty and hilarious, Secret Admirer is a fast and funny farce where the laughs are unsigned, sealed and delivered. When high school heartthrob Michael (C. Thomas Howell, Red Dawn) receives an unsigned love letter, he assumes it's from knockout prom queen Deborah-Anne (Kelly Preston, Jerry Maguire) instead of pretty honor student Toni (Lori Loughlin, "Full House"). And when Michael accidentally misplaces the letter, the juicy jottings soon make their way into the hands of the whole neighborhood, touching off a scandalously sexy soap opera of mixed-up motives, mistaken identities and merrily misfired emotions!

In the brief flower of his teen idolhood, C. Thomas Howell starred in this unexpectedly mature teen comedy. High school loser Michael (Howell) receives an unsigned love note and hopes it's from the queen of the social scene, Debbie (Kelly Preston). When Debbie brushes him off, his best friend Toni (Lori Loughlin) convinces him to send her an anonymous note of his own--only Toni, who's so in love with Michael that she wants him to be happy, rewrites his clumsy fumblings into romantic prose, and Debbie swoons. Meanwhile, the first note has fallen into other hands, setting off misguided passion among the kids' parents. Secret Admirer could have been familiar fluff, but the plot keeps taking unexpected turns, tweaking the clich?s of the teen genre with a dose of reality. The characters reveal surprising sides, resulting in a unusually rich story that earns its happy ending. --Bret Fetzer
