Though corny at times, it's a classic thanks to great leads by Gray and Swayze. It's okay to be cheesy if it is quotable and humorous, and DD toes the line to maintain charm even through its cringe. The story is surprisingly layered with adult themes, class analysis, about stereotyping, and themes on the meaning of love and relationships. Many scenes are real classics, and Gray and Swayze reach that rare, elusive movie magic with commitment to their characters.
Even if this isn't one's cup of tea, if you give it a chance, you'll understand why so many people consider it an 80's classic. The soundtrack is also well known.
