Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

deneciacotham Were you ever that teenager who wanted to be popular so bad? Did you ever see that one teenager who did anything and everything out of their way just to be a cool kid, even if they had to pay for it? If you were that kid or if you knew that kid,then you should definitely go watch this movie because Alvin Johnson was that teenager. Alvin Johnson is the main character in the movie, Love Don't Cost a Thing, he was played by the one and only Nick Cannon.This movie was a modern day remake of the 1987 movie Cant Buy Me Love.The movie tells a story of a young, nerdy teen who offered his life savings to the most popular girl in the school just to be dated for a month. He did this because he thought it would make him popular. For a while he was popular, he even stopped hanging with his real friends to be with his new "friends." It worked for a while, but everyone eventually found out about their arrangements. I believe the reason I love this movie so much is because it has a very unbelievably, happy ending. Alvin Johnson and Paris Morgan, who was played by the gorgeous Christina Milian, were a very cute couple in the movie. The scene that caught my attention most in the movie, is when they had a date night on the last day before their breakup. Paris Morgan had looked at Alvin Johnson in a way like none other. It was the look of love, lust, and passion. She realized that she really did like him and that she did want to be in a real relationship with him. I thought that scene was very cute considering that they were in two totally different social groups at school. It shows that all that really matters is what's on the inside; not a person's social status. Another thing that caught my attention about the relationship that they had in the movie, was that they had started a real relationship outside the on set of the movie. Before the movie was recorded or even released they were dating.They were in a relationship for over two years during this time period. I feel like the bond they had already created, made the movie seem more realistic which in turn made more people attracted to this movie. The high school setting that the director created was quite relatable to the intended audience in my opinion. The movie had described all of the different types of social groups that any typical high school would have. There were the nerds/losers, the jocks, the popular girls, the Asian kids, and even the emo and Gothic groups. Most high schools around the country has these different type of social groups, and it is greatly appreciated that they put all the different groups in the movie. I state that because in the movie you will see the nerds/losers prospective versus the jocks and popular girls prospective. Not only do you see that, but you also see how the other social groups view the jocks and popular girl groups. In this movie, it actually gives courage to the boys in high school that may feel like they are lame or too nerdy to have a chance with the pretty girl in school. This movie also can shed light on those pretty popular girls who may feel like they're too good for a certain person. It could also help them realize that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover; you never know who may be the one. Lastly, this movie teaches you that you should just be yourself and not try to portray someone you're not because at the end of the day, everything comes to the light. My all time favorite thing about this movie has to be the soundtrack play list. I really like almost every song that was featured. The songs that I had really liked were, "Comes to the light" by Jill Scott, "Pass the Courvoisier" by Busta Rhymes, "We Rise" by Rama Duke, and lastly "Luv Me Baby" by Murphy Lee. I enjoy these four songs because they were all so catchy and matched every single scene in the movie perfectly. Most of the songs that were played in this movie were either previously played on the radio, or the movie made the songs popular. These songs kept me entertained throughout the entire movie. I had even caught myself dancing and singing to the songs throughout the movie. A particular part in the movie, Love Don't Cost A Thing, that I really liked that was being played was when everyone in the school had found out about Alvin and Paris' secret. The song that was played during this scene was "Comes to the Light" by Jill Scott. In conclusion, this is my favorite movie because not only is it for entertainment, but it also teaches you a valuable lesson. I love it from start to finish simply because of the happy ending. This movie is relatable to all high school students or any student that is about to get ready to go to high school. I feel this way because nobody really knows what social group they will end up in until they get to high school. I feel like every student would like to be recognized and noticed for at least something because nobody wants to be considered a loser. The happy ending love story between popular girl and loser boy makes everyone realize that there is somebody out there for everyone and that they may one day have a happy ending also.

Arginia Cadle Movie writers and producers stop with the remakes of the 80's movie it's stupid it's like when I watched a totally unrelated movie oz the great and powerful no one can remake classics that's why they are called classics and these actors can not fill the shoes of the real actors from the movie can't buy me love so please stop I don't think anyone's forcing anyone to remake these films or are they? Lol.... Every time I go to watch TV or a movie there are a dozen previews of remakes or movie franchises like Friday the 13th someone just had to make a new one I'm not cutting down the actors in it Jared padalecki is awesome but these new remakes or movies that has all these changes to them are stupid ideas, except this one it's the same but different actors it sucks I'm sticking with the old ones out with the new in with the old for me lol

nedatronics Love don't cost a thing came as a wave of fresh air for me. I've always had a bias against American High School teen flicks coz i found them soo superficial and cliché.....but Love Don't cost a thing was a bit, just a tinsy bit more mature than that. There was nothing original about the cast or story line but i can contentedly say that it had a positive effect viewing it. LDCAT was well acted out and the cast suit it perfectly, i loved Harvey as usual...being his cocky self and Nick Cannon and the chick added flavour to the story line....the plot was the usual dorky guy goes cool and reverts back to dorkiness after he finds out that "coolness" doesn't live up to what its projected to be. It evoked emotion and thought...enough of it to warrant a watch. I actually felt the torment going through the characters lives as he strived to adapt to the system...and as i presume, a good movie is one that has the power to connect us with the characters. To cut the long story short...i think each and everyone can identify with at least one of the characters and i can undoubtedly say that most of us have at least gone through what is projected in the movie. My scepticism as to Teen Flicks diminished when i got to the core of the movie and without a doubt, LDCAT is an emotion evoker. It tells the story of American suburban youth trying to adapt and this can be replicated all over the world and in all walks of life. It was a good watch and i gave it a clean 8 out of 10. The ending was quite abrupt though but the chick really carried her role well...emotional distress and all....and as Steve Harvey would say....GET OF YOUR ASS AND HANDLE YOUR BIZZZNESS...my favorite quote of the movie.

jwhale9382 I liked it. It was nothing special, but I liked it. It was a good story about issues that most teens deal with everyday. And it was funny. In the movie, Alvin (Cannon) is a nobody who wants to be a popular somebody. As somebody who once wished he could be more popular in high school, I completely understand where Alvin was coming from. So when popular cheerleader, Paris (Milian) gets into a jam, Alvin offers to help her if she pretends to be his girlfriend. But Alvin soon finds out that there's more to popularity than he realized. As Paris puts it, "Popularity is like a job" and you have to "work" to keep up with everyone else. In the end, Alvin learns that it's far more rewarding to just be himself. (There's a cliché we never get tired of hearing.) I thought the acting in the movie was great. Nick, Christina and the rest of the cast were believable in their roles, but still managed to stay funny. I especially liked Steve Harvey, playing Nick Cannon's 'Stuck in the 70's' dad. This movie may not be 10/10 great, but if you're looking for a good date movie, you may want to consider this one.
