I agree that AMH does a great job -- he is eminently watchable. As for Lloyd Dobbler, I can't speak from the female's perspective, but he was much more the guy an average bloke like me could aspire to be... so for that I can much more easily identify with him. I think Long Duk Dong is absolutely the most painful part of this one. It's hard to believe that was acceptable -- but I'm finding my memory of what was acceptable in the 80s to be surprisingly out-of-whack.

I think you may have mixed him up with Craig Sheffer from 'Some Kind of Wonderful'. Just for the record, it’s Michael Schoeffling.
