Story
Terry Griffith, believing she lost her school's writing competition due to sexism, decides to prove that being a girl hindered her chances by transferring to another high school disguised as a boy. Her brother Buddy helps her with the transformation. At the new school, Terry befriends Rick and impresses him with her intelligence and humor. However, their friendship becomes complicated when Terry starts developing feelings for Rick, who reciprocates but believes Terry is a guy.
Summary
Just One of the Guys (1985) is a comedy-drama directed by Lisa Gottlieb that explores themes of sexism, identity, and acceptance through the lens of adolescence. The film follows Terry Griffith, played by Joyce Hyser, as she navigates high school life while disguised as a boy to prove her journalism teacher's gender bias in selecting competition winners. Although the plot primarily revolves around Terry's cross-dressing adventure, it also touches on typical teenage experiences like crushes and friendship dynamics.
