On this day April 26, 1985, the teen comedy Just One of the Guys premiered in theaters. Directed by Lisa Gottlieb, the film starred Joyce Hyser as a high school journalist who disguises herself as a boy to prove she can be taken seriously in a male dominated world.
With a clever premise and memorable performances, the movie stood out in a decade packed with teen comedies. William Zabka once again played the classic 80s bully, while the film also featured early appearances by Billy Jacoby and Sherilyn Fenn.
Just One of the Guys pulled in 11.5 million dollars at the box office and became a cult favorite, especially on home video and cable reruns.
Fun fact: The film was loosely inspired by William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, another story about a woman going undercover as a man.
