  Love Don't Cost a Thing Production NotesLove Don't Cost A Thing but it pays to be yourself.
This movie is a modern day update of the classic 1987 teen movie "Can't Buy Me Love," Alvin Johnson is a high-school senior, a likable brilliant outcast who regrets the years of intellectual endeavors that kept him and his un-hip friends from learning other skills such as socializing, getting girlfriends and hanging out with the "Elite Crowd".
When Paris Morgan (queen of the Elite crowd), wrecks her mom's car, Alvin tries to help her out by mortgaging his future. In exchange for Alvin's automotive skills and $1500 in car parts, Paris agrees to "fake a front" to the whole school that she and Alvin are dating. As Alvin's ego soars he stands the chance of losing his true friends, his chance for a scholarship and a shot at a real relationship with Paris.
In Love Don't Cost A Thing, an urban comedy inspired by the classic 1987 teen romance Can't Buy Me Love, likeable outcast Alvin Johnson (Nick Cannon) is looking to bust loose. With his head always buried in a book or under the hood of a car, Alvin has spent the last three years of high school grinding away at his studies and working as a pool boy to earn extra cash. No doubt, Alvin?s focus has paid off: he's finally saved enough Benjamins to finish building an engine he designed an engine that's going to win him a much-needed college scholarship.
