1980s movie. 2 teens pretend to be foreign exchange students from France at own high school.

1980s movie. 2 teens pretend to be foreign exchange students from France at own high school.?
A movie made in the 1980s. I think it was a boy and a girl for sure who pose as foreign exchange students from France or Italy at their own high school. They were nerds before and became popular hot shots in no time. I can not remember the name of the movie. The girl had light brown hair and the guy had dark brown hair. I can not remember enough of the details in the movie, but I am hoping someone can give me a couple possibilities.

I accidentally taped the last half of this movie when I was young and have been wanting to watch the whole thing ever since. The guy was from Italy and he had a tanning bed in his basement or garage. He somehow burned himself at the end. I'm not sure where the girl was from, but she got the lead in the school's production of Sweet Charity and sang "If my friends could see me now." Maybe it was a made for TV, but I can't imagine that it had a title that was much more clever than Foreign Exchange. Man, why can't we find it!? Your question is really the only thing that exist to prove I didn't make this up.

What do you think of Italy and Italians

This is a great question. More people should study there homelands from the outside looking in. And what a good way to do it. As and American my impression will sound Oh so stereo typical to you. Most of us like Italian food, so we think of the culinary arts. Garlic, tomato sauce, PASTA. But I don't think you are asking what we think of your food. I think if Italy as a highly cultured and historic place. We have the inpression that Italians are relaxed and enjoy eating, drinking, smoking and making love. Yes, so we also think of your as romantic people. High arts, classical music, rich with history. Politically neutral from our point of view in recent decades. Non-aggressive government. Also I think of Italians as having large and close knit families. And I'll be honest, due to the image of Italian-Americans, we have a certian belief regarding organized crime and the Italian mafia. Therefore some American may not think of Italians as the most trustworthy of people. More cunning. I think many Americans are interested in Italy and "like" Italians. They probably thinkthey would "like" Italians more than they like Italian Americans. I think you are interesting people. I find Italian men generally very attractive, BUT, we have an image of them being womanizers, a little skeezy - you probably won't find the defination of the word skeezy and I can think of another term. I hope none of this offends you or yoru people. I'm just trying to give you my honest, an uninformed impression. Heck, we have an image of being rude Americans, so what do I care!!! hee, hee. Sounds like a very cool dstudy you are doing.

Help! It is very improtant! It's for a project in school. And I don't need a long answer, but you can if you want to. I've checked on orbitz and sites like that, but I can't find it. It doesn't matter what airport in Paris or in Italy, just give me an estimate. Thx! :)

A couple of hours max....I never flew from Paris but I did from London ( London is less than an hour to Paris)......its about 3hrs to Italy from London so say 2hrs maybe less.
2 :
Go to the Air Italia website. There may or may not be a direct flight. If it's direct, I'd guess about an hour.
3 :

Alitalia has flights daily, the flight duration is 1 hr 50 minutes direct.

Most Americans, regardless of their ethnicity love Italian style food. Most of this food is served by 1st-2nd-3rd generation Italians so it is pretty authentic. All of the italian restaurants I go to, I know the owners. They are very friendly and always treat me well. I would have to say...we really like Italians here.

Italian people are now very popular in the US because the traditional Italian good looking and elegance. I say NOW because nobody forget how much the Italian mafia impacted this country (especially the East coast) in the 40s. Italians were the key factor for what was called the Dry Law epoque, since they managed the liquor black market, remember? Up today, Italian designers are ranking top here same as all over the world. But the most relevant factor not only to the US but for the entire world is for sure Italian art. Finally US language was highly impacted by Italy. Long story short: English comes from German and it adopted (by the Middle Ages and the Renaissance times) a lot of Italian terminology that were the base of a lot of our current every day English language here in the US. Contemporary I can say Italian is one of the favorite int'l food nowadays. It is one of the best adoptions this country embraced! Hope it helps!
