Editorial Review:

Description:
An anonymous note sets off a romantic chain-mail reaction with hilarious results in this letter-perfect comedy with "something for everybody" (The Washington Post). Flirty and hilarious, Secret Admirer is a fast and funny farce where the laughs are unsigned, sealed and delivered. When high school heartthrob Michael (C. Thomas Howell, Red Dawn) receives an unsigned love letter, he assumes it's from knockout prom queen Deborah-Anne (Kelly Preston, Jerry Maguire) instead of pretty honor student Toni (Lori Loughlin, "Full House"). And when Michael accidentally misplaces the letter, the juicy jottings soon make their way into the hands of the whole neighborhood, touching off a scandalously sexy soap opera of mixed-up motives, mistaken identities and merrily misfired emotions!

Amazon.com:
In the brief flower of his teen idolhood, C. Thomas Howell starred in this unexpectedly mature teen comedy. High school loser Michael (Howell) receives an unsigned love note and hopes it's from the queen of the social scene, Debbie (Kelly Preston). When Debbie brushes him off, his best friend Toni (Lori Loughlin) convinces him to send her an anonymous note of his own--only Toni, who's so in love with Michael that she wants him to be happy, rewrites his clumsy fumblings into romantic prose, and Debbie swoons. Meanwhile, the first note has fallen into other hands, setting off misguided passion among the kids' parents. Secret Admirer could have been familiar fluff, but the plot keeps taking unexpected turns, tweaking the clichés of the teen genre with a dose of reality. The characters reveal surprising sides, resulting in a unusually rich story that earns its happy ending. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pleasantly Suprised
I caught this movie on late night TV last night and was pleasantly surprised at how hilarious it is! Lot of good actors and a very funny storyline. Some parts made me laugh out loud hysterically (especially the part where C Thomas Howell yells at the mailman). So glad I watched this, I will definitely add this to my collection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a blast from the past- a funny movie
i forgot how silly and funny this movie was, if you are in the mood to see the movies from the 80s you must see this one and you'll forget how silly these movies were, and who could have remembered that kelly preston was in this movie, i completely forgot, she had done other films also during the 80s but this one was her best during this period, you really think she is that superficial. a great buy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This movie might be old school, but still good!

I watched this movie when I was like 13 and I loved it, so now that I'm 25 I had to buy it. I saw it again and I enjoyed it even more than in the past. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Secretly Good Film, often forgotten but worth a watch
Ever wondered what would happen if you told someone how you felt only to not sign the letter? A string of romantic comedies and love triangles and confusion results when a secret admirer letter is misplaced. It's a surprise that this flick is quite well written and well cast. The happy ending is exactly what you want. Instead of running away for a year on a plane the real sweetheart is about to sail away on a ship having won a "Year at Sea" highschool scholarship. When both admirer and admired jump ... Read More
