TV and movie reviews
Apr. 28th, 2011 11:55 pmBreaking Bad Season 1
( spoilers love this show )
Just One of the Guys - 1985 ImDb page PG-13, streaming on Netflix.
This movie rates as "almost queer" and is a cross-dressing movie. Clips from it appear in Charmax's fan vid "I'm Your Man". It's a high school comedy that is surprisingly good; I particularly enjoyed the friendships and the sibling relationship presented in the film. Terry, a journalism student, dresses as a boy at a neighboring high school in order to get a story and win a scholarship. One of the best scenes involves Terry's brother teaching her how to act like a boy. She evades bullies and the locker room with grace. She attempts to live a double life, dating her college boyfriend and hanging out with her new pal Rick (whom she finds herself falling for). It's a sweet film, and would have been much better without the (sigh inevitable) ending where things are restored to gender norms.
