'Baby, It's You' is not ideal material for anyone, let alone an actress like Roseanna Arquette, who can do good comedy (and light romantic comedy) when given the opportunity.
This is the story of a simple high school girl (Arquette) who starts dating a quasi-James Dean type (Vincent Spano as the "Shiek") during the early 60s. Neither characters are very interesting, especially the Shiek who seems all too arrogant and altogether strange, anyways to enjoy any sort of romance that forms between the two. The story takes us from high school, when the couple meet and date and have some sort of wavering relationship (made entirely difficult by a control-freak like Shiek), and then on into the post-high school years where Jill Rosen (Arquette) is either unhappy or uncomfortable at her college and the Shiek is a lip-synching performer in Miami night clubs singing to an enthused crowd of senior citizens.
The movie is hardly funny, and only moderately entertaining. There is little or no story, and with the characters being so wishy-washy (I hate that term), there's really nothing to hold your interest. Plus, the Shiek just comes off like such a jerk, it's a wonder why a girl like Jill Rosen would even waste her time with him. Even if sappy 80s romance comedies are what you might be in the mood for, this is not one that I'd recommend watching.
