The film that started The Brat Pack craz.

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2002)

This film started it, St, Elmo's Fire made it higher. Out of all of John Hughes movies, this one really stands out. It's a teen classic. Great performances by Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, and Emilo Estevez. The story is about five different teenagers are forced to spend an all day Saturday detention. For some you may think it's about kids in detention, dive deeper into the story, you'll see a story of abuse, neglect, and the pressure to be perfect. What you see is what everyday teens go through. Thats what made the movie a hit. Although it was well acted by everyone, it's clearly Judd Nelson steals the picture, has the bad boy John Bender. Paul Gleason is also good has Richard Vernon, the not so likeable principal. He later went on to play characters we love to hate. This movie is funny and touching. It's my John Hughes favorite.
