Just One of the Girls is a well put, comedy. I recommend this film. This is one of Corey Haims top 5 best roles. I'd say number 5 actually. The Lost Boys, Blown Away, License to Drive and Watchers come before this movie. This is one of Corey Haim's better roles. This doesn't do better than Blown Away but its watchable. Very good storyline and camera action. The film could of used more comedic elements. I never seen Corey Haim in this kind of role, its pretty amusing.If you come across this movie, I suggest you watch it. Other actors include Nicole Eggert (Tv's Baywatch), Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie, Freddy vs. Jason).

Well, here we have yet another role reversal movie. There were many worth watching, despite the tired plot of gender reversal. However, this one is not. In previous reviews, I think I've made my point about the general decline of enjoyment for Haim movies that followed the late 80s. This is one of them.'Just One of the Girls' is about a high school kid (Corey Haim) who tries to avoid his bullies by dressing up as a girl and attending another school. He joins the cheerleading squad and makes friends with fellow cheerleader, Marie (Nicole Eggert). Obviously, he can't keep up the charade for too much longer.I thought this movie was utter crap, and it wasn't even funny. But, judging by a majority of reviews, it looks like fans of Alanis Morrisette or teen sex queen, Nicole Eggert, are the only ones who'd want to watch this. If you're looking for a good Haim feature (or role switching comedy), look no further than 1989. This is about the point that Haim's career tanked.

And, I still love watching it, each and every time I pop it in the machine. *Insert spoilers here.* Not only for the cameo appearance by Alanis Morrisette, back when her hair-do was bigger than her first name. But, also for the Machiavellian lengths to which Corey Haim had to go, in order for his girlfriend and his parents to NOT be in the same place, at the same time, as him. Priceless!Plus, there's no denying that Ms. Eggert's fellow varsity cheerleaders weren't bad to look at. Speaking of which; there was one blooper connected to the cheerleading sequence towards the end. The JV squad appeared to have the letters "S-H-S" on their uniforms. The initials of the real-life Vancouver school where this was filmed, perhaps?Well, in any case, I think this delightfully and shamelessly sappy movie is a perfect 10. As in, undeniably ten times better than "Legally Blonde 2" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" put together!

Alanis Morrisette (pre-makeover) as the teeny-bopper singing 2 minutes before the credits roll - what else is there to watch in this movie? Alanis' mere pre-introspective presence is worth the rental!
