I can see why you feel this way, it's not a great film but kind of an interesting one because we see Prudence all grown up [I religiously watched Nanny and the Professor and wow there's Jared Barkley!]

Both James Spader and Robert Downey jr are in the film and I've been a fan of both especially Spader but both became great actors so this is an early look into the start of their careers.

It was a good but not great movie and I own the bluray and the digital but I just have a soft spot for the film. It's a decent teen movie but not in the league of the John Hughes films or Can't Buy Me Love and Just One Of The Guys.

Also I've been following Kim Richards career and besides Nanny I loved Escape and Return to Witch Mountain. Thought it was cool that she was in Race To Witch Mountain along with Ike Eisenmann.

and then later on to learn of her connection to Paris Hilton.

I even watched some episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills but felt really bad for Kim's decline.
