How To Fight, Lie, and Cry Your Way to Popularity and a Prom Date

Teen movies are a tremendous part of our culture. But does anyone really look at what these films are teaching us? Do black leather pants really lead to instant popularity (as they do for Sandy in Grease)? Should you really stalk a girl to win her over (as Lloyd Dobler does in Say Anything)? And if you steal your dad''s car and solicit a prostitute (like Joel in Risky Business), will you really get into an Ivy League school? This hilarious read offers synopses from 50 classic teen movies and brings to light all the brilliant (well, maybe not) advice offered up in each one. Includes quotes and quizzes.
