Just One of The Guys (1985)
Just what does it take to be among Entertainment Weekly’s “50 Best High School Movies?” According to “Just One of The Guys,” a film needs to be horny, depict decent journalism and have a jaw-dropping fight scene. Bonus points for cross-dressing. This 1985 adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” shocked Dick Ebert with its depictions of a boys locker room, delighted Gene Lyons with its outlandish characters and ventured dangerously close to cringe with a surprise James Brown reference.
Plot Summary: In the 1985 teen comedy Just One of the Guys, directed by Lisa Gottlieb, Joyce Hyser stars as Terry Griffith, a high school student and aspiring journalist who feels her talents are being overlooked because she’s a girl. Determined to prove her abilities, Terry decides to go undercover as a male student at a neighboring school, hoping to win a writing contest she believes will jump-start her career. Disguised as “Terry the guy,” she navigates the high school scene, complete with new friends, social hurdles, and the challenges of keeping her identity a secret.
