excellent, must-see 80s comedy about 5 teens in a detention

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2005)

the plot consists of 5 teenagers with nothing in common put in a Saturday detention with each other, 7 till 4. there's the criminal, the jock, the geek, the 'princess' and the basket case. throughout the day they form unlikely bonds with each other, form some common ground and by the end of the day, seem like different people.
although i didn't see the film around the time of its release i nonetheless thoroughly enjoyed it and i could watch it over and over again and never get tired of it. the acting, especially the jock (emilio estevez) and the geeky kid, is very well done indeed.
this is a must-see, must-own flick from the 80s and cannot be missed!
