Movie Reviews of Secret Admirer (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: How 1 innocent letter can lead to 6 sticky situations
Summary: 5 Stars
SECRET ADMIRER is a hilarious movie that starts out when Michael Ryan(C. Thomas Howel) recieves an anonymous love letter from his pal Toni(Lori Loughlin)on his last day of school, but Michael thinks his secret admirer is Debbie Fimple(Kelly Preston) and then when Michael's love letter gets misplaced Connie Ryan(Dee Wallace-Stone) assumes that her husband George Ryan(Cliff De Young)is having an affair with their pal(Liz Fimple) and then Liz's husband Lt. Lou Fimple(Fred Ward)jumps to the conclusion that Liz is having an affair with George, but George assumes that Liz is falling for him, etc. like a chain reaction or a domino effect, but Michael doesn't discover that his secret admirer was Toni all along until the end of the movie when he finally starts falling for her after the whole chrarade unravels and gets resolved.
It was also interesting seeing Corey Haim in this movie as Michael's twerp little brother(Jeffrey Ryan) since it showed us Corey Haim before he even became a star and a teen idol.
This comedy flick also takes me all the way back to memory lane to when I was still living in the Imperial Valley since I was 13 years old in the 7th grade over at Wilson Jr. High School in my hometown(El Centro, CA)at the time when SECRET ADMIRIRER made its theatrical release.
Summary of Secret Admirer (Widescreen Edition)
No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 7-JAN-2003
Media Type: DVD
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 clichés 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
