1980's Cult Classic With A Great Soundtrack. Overrated, But Fun.

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2019)

I'll leave the 10,000 word reviews of this cult classic for those 80's obsessed crazy people that still sing Bangles songs on Karaoke nights. I love this movie, but it seems to be a little overrated by the children of the 1980's that get all nostalgic for this sort of thing. Some of the writing is bad and it's definitely dated, but it's one of the best teen dramas of all time. The five core actors and actresses worked great together. This is a great background movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
