Plot
Bryan (David Hallyday) is a singer, and his best friend Reggie (T. K. Carter) is his manager. They both reside in Missouri. In order to help advance his music career, Reggie enters Bryan into a competition to win a trip to L.A. Bryan wins, but he has to bring a girl with him. In order to go, Reggie poses as a girl.

Reception
Rita Kempley of 'The Washington Post' said, "The gender-bender "He's My Girl" is all cross-dressed up with nowhere to go. It's a farce so stale the only thing to do is make croutons."
Janet Maslin of 'The New York Times' wrote "'He's My Girl' is at least made relatively painless by Mr. Carter, who is happily overconfident and even convincing in his role. Beyond that, the film has little to recommend it."
