Betty has a crush on hunky college football player Ricky. Unfortunately she also has glasses, braces, a lisp, and is a social reject...but it’s 1987 and what’s a girl to do? Throw a huge graduation party to get Ricky's attention, duh! With the aid of the school's popular girls, who undoubtedly have ulterior motives, Betty hosts the event of the year while her parents are away.
