Just One of the Guys (1985) is a romantic comedy that reimagines William Shakepeare’s Twelfth Night as an 80’s high school comedy. It was directed by Lisa Gottlieb. It is a time capsule of 80’s hair and fashion and famous for its Signature Scene.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 William Zabka), and attracts the unwanted interest of Sandy (a young Sherilyn Fenn).Compare She's the Man, which reimagines Twelfth Night as a 2000s high school comedy. | |

Class Princess: Deborah is Rick's Lust Object, the best-dressed and most popular girl in school, and is never seen being personally mean to anyone. While she does date Big Jerk on Campus Greg, she believes that he has Hidden Depths, 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 Assumed Win for prom king. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Just One of the Guys / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: A strangely circuitous one. Boy-Terry is compared to Ralph Macchio in-universe. The character of Greg Tolan (the film's villain) is portrayed by William Zabka, who was also the villain in The Karate Kid. | |

No Bisexuals: When Rick thinks Terry is gay, Terry confesses that he is not gay despite planting a kiss on Rick earlier. Rick then says that now he is confused. Terry admits that she's not gay and that she is actually a woman but Rick doesn't believe her. Bisexuality isn't acknowledged even in 1980's high school. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Played for Laughs. After Deborah and her ex-boyfriend 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. | |

Adults Are Useless: Given that this is a high school comedy, this is rather to be expected. There is no effective adult supervision in this world. Terry and Buddy's parents are on vacation for the entire film. The high school faculty and staff are remarkably absent. Greg Tolan tears up the lunch room seemingly every day and the few adults present look on helplessly. | |
