THE definitive '80's movie.

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2001)

"They only met once but it changed their lives forever"
Yet another wonderfully angsty teen movie from the master of the genre, possibly John Hughes' best although "Somekind Of Wonderful" and "Ferris Beuller's.." are both great. The plot is simple yet effective (5 different kids have to spent saturday detention together, a brain, a basket case, a jock, a princess and a criminal). The cast are excellent, a stand out being Judd Nelson as the wonderfully sarcastic and wise-cracking John Bender. This movie has to been seen when you are a teenager or it won't have the same impact. Check your mind at the door and enjoy!
