One of the best

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2001)

I first saw this film when it first came out, the last time I saw it was today....and I still love it. John Bender was, in my opinion..the best character of the 80's. You really need to keep in mind it was made for the teenage 80's audience, so commenting 16 years later that the music was lame, some of the dialogue was cheesy, they had trivial problems etc is pretty absurd. The music fitted the movie and the era, we spoke like that pretty much, and the problems discussed were that of high school kids...I don't think at the time John Hughes cared less what cynical people who have forgotten what it was like when they were teens would think of his film in 2001...he didn't make it for them. A lot of people have commented on why Brian didn't get the girl, well when nerds get all the girls and the jock gets left out in the cold all the time maybe films will change.
