Imagine Faust set in high school. Now imagine it inspired by the sex comedies of the '80s, and cast with actors who look like they're nearing their 10-year reunion. Kevin Pollack stars as the Mephistopheles-inspired Jerry, the guy in charge of buying souls for Satan. His latest victim is high school nerd Henry Spooner (Michael A. Goorjian) after the kid mutters under his breath how he would sell his soul to the devil in order to go out with the prettiest popular girl in the school, Lori Petler (Shiri Appleby). Henry is happy enough to use the powers of evil to become popular until he realizes it's testing his relationship with his best friend. Plus, he starts to believe he's becoming popular by himself, not because of the manipulations of the devil. Deal of a Lifetime is not a great movie, but Kevin Pollack fans will want to check it out because he's given free reign to ham it up big-time and make a lot of costume changes. --Andy Spletzer

Product Description

Henry Spooner would sell his soul for a date with the most popular girl in school and now he finally has the chance! Starring Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects) and fresh new talents Shiri Appleby ("Roswell"), Jennifer Rubin (The Crush) and Michael Goorjian (Leaving Las Vegas), Deal of a Lifetime is a "hell-arious" romantic comedy! Unpopular, un-cool and totally un-datable, Henry (Goorjian) doesn't have a hell of a chance with super-hot cheerleader Laurie Petler (Appleby) or does he? Tempted by the Devil's sleaze-ball agent (Pollak), Henry soon gets his hands on fame, fortune and Laurie. But just as his every wish begins to come true, Henry has the hilarious realization that, when it comes to a deal with the Devil, getting everything he ever wanted mayjust be a whole lot more trouble than he bargained for!

3.0 out of 5 stars my personal review, June 10, 2001

By 

Joseph Hester (Currently residing with Aunt in Atlanda, Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deal of a Lifetime (DVD)

This film has all the elements, cute actors like Shiri Appleby (which was the only reason I bought the film Ha!) All and all the acting is rather bad, Kevin Pollak was terrible, and Michael Goorigian look far too sensible to be the averrage high school geek. This film was too predictable with Henry getting the girl at the end, but my didn't they look good together.

If you are thinking of buying this film, don't,unless your a big fan of Roswell Hign (Shiri Appleby), or Party Of Five (Michael Goorgian).

I rate it three stars because Shiri Appleby shined this average low budget film up.

Shiri Appleby is the only reason I bought this movie. As usual Shiri turns in a great performance. Just not enough scenes with her in it.
