John Hughes Teen Comedy Drama.

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2013)

Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall play five high school students forced to spend a Saturday in detention, overseen by a bitter teacher(Paul Gleason). Despite their differences, they talk and eventually bond over the course of the afternoon.
Though this was popular, film is nothing more than an unrealistic examination of the very stereotypes it apparently decries, that is judging people without knowing them. Worthy message, but film, despite some moments of insight, is really superficial. The Judd Nelson character(the angry rebel) is such an obnoxious jerk, that you don't want to see him end up with Ringwald(the princess) It is an unintended irony that the Paul Gleason character(not deemed worthy of sympathy it seems...) is more often than not right.
And I doubt they remained friends during school hours for long, though film was at least wise enough to pose the question.
