High school senior Terry Griffith (Joyce Hyser) has a great life, but she aspires to be a journalist. When she can’t convince her high school journalism teacher to let her compete for a summer internship, she decides that she isn’t respected because she's a woman. With the help of her oversexed little brother Buddy (Billy Jayne), she goes to a different high school and enrolls as a male transfer student. She starts a friendship with Rick Morehouse (Clayton Rohner), finds herself the target of bully Greg Tolan (80’s go-to villain Creator/WilliamZabka), and attracts the unwanted interest of Sandy (a young Creator/SherilynFenn).

Added DiffLines:

* AssumedWin: BigJerkOnCampus Greg smiles and straightens his collar before the prom king is announced. Surprisingly, he actually does win.


Added DiffLines:

* ClassPrincess: Deborah is Rick's LustObject, the best-dressed and most popular girl in school, and is never seen being personally mean to anyone. While she ''does'' date BigJerkOnCampus Greg, she believes that he has HiddenDepths, sometimes tries to talk him out of bullying people and eventually dumps him after accepting that "You are an asshole." She's also the head of the prom committee and is pleasantly surprised when she's voted prom queen, in contrast to Greg's cocky but justified AssumedWin for prom king.


Added DiffLines:

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Terry has lots of dolls and stuffed animals, including a giant teddy bear, in her room.


Added DiffLines:

* HappyEndingMassage: Upset about his failure to have sex with anyone during his parents' long absence, Buddy contemplates visiting a place called "Massage Delight."
* IHaveBrothers: Inverted when Terry (who is disguised as a boy) falsely claims to have sisters to explain how "he" knows a trick to fix an earring.


Added DiffLines:

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: When Denis agrees to pose as Terry's prom date, she conditions this on Terry never telling anyone.

Added DiffLines:

* NotSoAboveItAll: Linda finds Buddy's advances annoying, but when he asks if [[GagPenis it would make a difference if he was hung like a bear]], she admits that it might. Buddy then admits that he isn't, and that was a desperate shot in the dark.


Added DiffLines:

* PubescentBraces: Linda, a girl Terry's younger brother tries to seduce, has a pair of braces and is more focused on studying than responding to Buddy's advances.


Added DiffLines:

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: PlayedForLaughs. After Deborah and her ex-boyfriend [[BigJerkOnCampus Greg]] become prom queen and prom king, Deborah notes that traditionally, the two of them should dance together. However, as the head of the prom committee, she abolishes that tradition and quickly hurries away to dance with her date instead of Greg, to his frustration.


Added DiffLines:

* ThoseTwoGuys: The two {{Trekkie}}s who get bullied a lot and claim to really be visitors from another planet.
* ThroatSlittingGesture: As Rick's attempts to ask out a girl named Betty get more cringeworthy, Terry makes a throat-slitting gesture to urge him to abandon the conversation.
