Summary: Terry Griffith has it all -- looks, popularity, the perfect college boyfriend, and an article that's a shoo-in to win her a summer internship at the local newspaper... or so she thinks. When Terry's journalism teacher rejects her article up in favor of a couple of pieces written by boys, Terry is certain sexism is to blame. Determined toTerry Griffith has it all -- looks, popularity, the perfect college boyfriend, and an article that's a shoo-in to win her a summer internship at the local newspaper... or so she thinks. When Terry's journalism teacher rejects her article up in favor of a couple of pieces written by boys, Terry is certain sexism is to blame. Determined to get the internship at any cost, Terry goes undercover at a rival high school to resubmit her article... as a boy.

Critic Reviews

Janet Maslin

Familiar but likable, thanks largely to Mr. Jacoby's irrepressible clowning and Miss Hyser's good-sport manner. Read full review

Nick Schager

Entertainingly goofy. Read full review

Gene Siskel

Joyce Hyser is fine as the male and female Terry, but since "Tootsie" is now the standard in these matters, the makeup job on Hyser as a guy should have been much more convincing. Not for a minute do we forget she's a girl. [30 Apr 1955, p.4C]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Of course, most of the male-female situations Terry finds herself in are played for laughs, and the film eventually sinks into an all too typical conclusion, but the observations regarding the nature of sexuality are interesting and well handled. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Key male part of quiet outsider whom Hyser brings to life is essayed by another film newcomer, Clayton Rohner, but Rohner looks too old to be a high school kid. Read full review

Bill Cosford

Two predictable disappointments here (among many): As usual, these high school kids appear in fact to be played by folks who have left college well behind them; and, sadder, Just One of the Guys was directed by a woman -- women filmmakers being a worthy cause under almost any circumstances -- yet betrays no higher consciousness regarding kids and sex roles than Porky's 3. [30 Apr 1985, p.B3]
