Permalink. Corey Haim, Kerri Green, Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder star in this 1986 drama. The late, Haim (The Lost Boys) plays Lucas, an intelligent yet odd teen who meets and befriends Maggie (Green), the new girl in school. He immediately has a crush on her, but she doesn't feel the same way about him.
Whatever the reason, Lucas never caught on - not in theaters or on home video. Yet it remains as worthwhile a cinematic experience today as it was in 1986. Lucas (Corey Haim) is a misfit, but he's not a misanthrope. A 14-year old accelerated high school student with far more intelligence than common sense, he is the prototypical nerd.
Overview. A brilliant but socially inept 14-year-old experiences heartbreak for the first time when his two best friends – Cappie, an older-brother figure, and Maggie, the new girl with whom he is in love – fall for each other. David Seltzer. Director, Writer.
Unfortunately, Lucas sometimes seems to get lost in the crowd of bigger name 80’s flicks, but the truth is that few movies can compare with the heart of this touching story. Lucas is small for his age, but his intellect makes up for his size. An accelerated student, he has one true love: science.
