Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Cindy Mancini, where have you gone?!
One of the biggest dorks in school, Ronald Miller's (Dempsey) life is consumed by telescopes, astronomy, and his similarly socially awkward friends.

Rating: - a coming-of-age classic
I showed this to my high school classes, and they loved it.

Actually, to buy off a girl who is a mental prostitute.
