Roseanne was way hotter than Leigh


I can't be the only who thinks this right? I mean when Leigh is first shown after Dennis's friend was talking her up saying how unbelievably hot she was, i gotta say i didn't see it when she walked down the hall. She was also wearing horrible unflattering clothes, i mean baggy beige shorts?

It just baffled me how Dennis was completely ignoring Roseanne and blowing her off because he was so infatuated with Leigh.

Also how did she have the body of a slut? Dennis's friend was saying she had the face of an angel and the body of a slut. Alexandra Paul is very skinny, is pretty much flat chested and hardly has curves, so i don't see how her body is that of a sluts.

Thats what i love about these high school girls, i get older they stay the same age.

Yes, you're10000% correct! Alexander Paul looked like a transsexual wearing boys clothing and no make-up..... There was ZERO GLAM about her looks!

I think it also had to do with Leigh being the new girl too. I do agree with others that Roseanne was hotter but she was old news to the guys now.

That's the only rational explanation. Roseanne (Kelly Preston) was beautiful, but isn't she the one that a character describes as a "sperm bank"? Still, she's way, way, way more attractive than the boring Alexandra Paul character. That girl being the new girl at school is the only explanation for why all the guys seem so interested in her. Arnie's mom is a degree of magnitude hotter than Roseanne.

The movie could have used more of Kelly Preston. Does she even appear again after the scene in the library?

They make Leigh out to be the most stunning girl in the world and she's just average looking.

The casting director blew it.

"Roseanne was way hotter than Leigh"

You have that exactly backwards.

"i gotta say i didn't see it when she walked down the hall. She was also wearing horrible unflattering clothes, i mean baggy beige shorts?"

Who cares what she was wearing? She could have been wearing a burlap sack and it doesn't change the structure/shapes/contours of her face. Alexandra Paul had a beautiful face in 1983, plus she was 5' 10", tall enough to be a super model (Edit: I just checked; she was in fact a model: "Paul began her career working as a model in New York City, and later moved to Los Angeles when she decided to pursue a career in acting"). Kelly Preston looked good, but she wasn't in Paul's league.

"Also how did she have the body of a slut? Dennis's friend was saying she had the face of an angel and the body of a slut. Alexandra Paul is very skinny, is pretty much flat chested and hardly has curves, so i don't see how her body is that of a sluts."

Yeah, her body wasn't impressive at all, but her face was. Kelly Preston's body wasn't impressive either. Very few Hollywood actresses have impressive bodies. I'm not impressed unless they wear at least a size 36DD bra (and only real boobs count, of course, and they have to have a good shape).

Kelly Preston was Roseanne correct? If so yes she was. Preston in those 80s movies was banging hot

reply

True. In the book she's described as a goddess and in the movie she looks sort of ordinary.

I guess Dennis and the other guys were more into innocent beauty than easy going slut.
