"Hey Son!" "Yeah Dad?..."

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2002)

When I first saw this movie I was fourteen and loved it. I still do. Even though I realized that all the characters in the movie were your classic stereotypical categorizations of people. Not only did this movie have me laughing. I felt bad that they were portrayed as such harsh sterotypes. Is this supposed to be funny. In high school, I was more like Allison than anything. But I had a bit of Brian personality as well. I didn't dress in all black, granted. I knew I was an outsider, but come on. Some of the scenes are just too fake as well. The one where Brian cries about having a gun in his locker. That is definitely not Anthony Michael Hall's best performance. If you really want to see him act, check out " The Dead Zone" television series on the USA network. He really stretches big time. I give him a lot of credit. Molly Ringwald is the Prom Queen? OK, so it was her decade, but come on. I love the movie and the dialogue, but the acting is just bad. Maybe I love it 'cuz it's soooo cheezy and unrealistic. How many people do you know actually tell you their life story in a day? Still this is a great pickme up movie. If you want something that's unrealistic and will take you attention off the stresses of your life.
