Plot: A college student clashes with his co-ed roommate, then falls for her in this romantic comedy. Sheltered freshman Chris Wooden (Patrick Dempsey) arrives at his university ready to hone his writing skills. His hard-partying roommate, however, proves to be a distraction. Alex Page (Helen Slater) -- short for Alexandra -- has been placed on a guys' floor by mistake, and the aspiring actress/good-time girl drives Chris crazy. Eventually, as both students hone their respective crafts and spend more time together, they become friends and finally lovers. But Alex's freewheeling ways put a kink in things; Chris is an old-fashioned guy, and he wants a plain-vanilla girlfriend. Things come to a head when a random biker Alex promised to marry shows up looking to rearrange Chris' face. Happy Together is one of the few feature credits of Mel Damski, who has directed countless TV movies since the late '70s. Astute viewers will notice a pre-Thelma and Louise Brad Pitt in a small role. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

I know this is hard to believe, but this is one of my top ten video's of all time. As a theatre major I can really relate to the 'I can be loved by you' acting excercise that becomes a recurring theme. While the 'girl with boys name who acidentally winds up in the boys dorm' genre is usually pretty fluffy, in this case it works, going beyond laughs to a more serious and vulnerable (yet still fun) place. For the record, other movies that have affected me as deeply include 'Glory', 'The Muppet Movie', 'Monster High', 'Final Destination (1 & 2)', 'Schoolhouse Rock', 'The Specials', 'Mulan', and 'Not another Teen Movie'. Fairly eclectic I know, but I really encouarge you to give it a try, especially if you were involved in Drama or Writing in High School or University.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE FOR A RAINY DAY!
Added 6/28/2000

DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I SEEM TO ENJOY PATRICK DEMPSEY'S 80'S FILMS A LOT. THIS VIDEO IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES. JUST AS "CAN'T BUY ME LOVE" THIS ONE IS CHESSY AND PREDICTABLE, AND I THINK THAT IS THE MAGIC ABOUT IT, THAT'S PROBABLY THE REASON WHY EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN THIS FILM SEEMS TO ENJOY IT. A GREAT ONE FOR A BAD DAY... IT WORKS FOR ME JUST LIKE STRAUSS' MUSIC DOES "UPLIFTS ME UP, DRAWS A SMILE ON MY FACE AND MAKES ME WANNA DANCE" AND AGAIN, JUST LIKE STRAUSS' MUSIC: ITS BEAUTY LIES IN ITS SIMPLICITY. NOT TO MENTION THAT HELEN SLATER LOOKS SPECIALLY LOVELY ON THIS FILM.

AS YOU CAN TELL... I NEED THIS ONE ON DVD A.S.A.P.

'80s musical montage madness
Added 6/30/1999

One of the most ridiculously fascinating films ever created, containing every cliche you can imagine regarding college romance--including the obligatory paint fight scene, the wacky dance scene/musical montage (set to what else? "Happy Together"), the threatening punk rocker ex-boyfriend, and witty, heartfelt exchanges such as "I'd like for you to love me." "Well, I'd love for you to like me." "Supergirl" Helen Slater opposite the king of all '80s PG-13 teen romantic comedies, Patrick Dempsey. This film is cheese-ball heaven!

Just as advertised, a nice and endearing movie
Added 6/29/1999

A funny and sometimes touching movie set in college, or what we'd like college to be. Recommended.
