“Footloose“ and “He’s All That” share many similarities. Both movies portray the high school experience, where teens set out to find themselves and face societal and family challenges. People need someone to relate to, and most can likely relate to experiencing high school drama, stress, self-image issues, and pressure.
I’ve rounded up some relatable, funny, realistic high-school movies that pair perfectly with the back-to-school season and might just have you standing outside your crush’s house, holding a boombox.
