Plot: Just how far would you go for a date with the girl of your dreams? Henry (Michael Goorjian) is a socially inept high school student who is constantly mooning over Laurie (Shiri Appleby), the most beautiful girl in his class. Henry announces he'd do practically anything to be able to go out with Laurie -- which, of course, is the cue for Jerry (Kevin Pollack), Satan's earthbound representative, to pay Henry a visit. In exchange for his soul, Jerry provides Henry with wealth, popularity, and a new girlfriend, Laurie. But before long Henry learns there's a downside to having everything you ever wanted, and as his life starts to spin out of control, Henry decides he'd rather have his old life back -- but does the Devil have a refund or exchange policy? Deal Of A Lifetime also features Jennifer Rubin and Ron Glass. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Shiri Appleby is the only reason I bought this movie. As usual Shiri turns in a great performance. Just not enough scenes with her in it.

So much Fun for those times that you just don't want to thin

This movie is completely stupid and trite and you know exactly what's going to happen the whole time. However, the production is fun and not a typical hollywood one. And everynow and then you get the feeling that the movie is making fun of itself anyway. I really enjoyed how they didn't JUST use pretty people in the movie...like the not so cool girl was actually really average looking which definately gave me a bit of respect for the movie. In the long run, i'd say don't get this movie unless your a big Mike Goorjian Fan, which i happen to be. If you are a big Mike Goorjian fan you will not be dissapointed...he's absolutely adorable in it and still shines through his talent even though the role he plays is very much against his type.

This film has all the elements, cute actors like Shiri Appleby (which was the only reason I bought the film Ha!) All and all the acting is rather bad, Kevin Pollak was terrible, and Michael Goorigian look far too sensible to be the averrage high school geek. This film was too predictable with Henry getting the girl at the end, but my didn't they look good together.

If you are thinking of buying this film, don't,unless your a big fan of Roswell Hign (Shiri Appleby), or Party Of Five (Michael Goorgian).

I rate it three stars because Shiri Appleby shined this average low budget film up.
