st. elmo fire have no bearing on life after university at all ( for the majority of u common folk anyway ) . why be this garbage even make . who can really relate to this . who live like these character . i truly feel sorry for the actor have to deal with such a terrible script . there be some talented young actor in this film that have do a good job elsewhere . it must have just be one whole joke to them on set . i actually find this film insult to my intelligence . the only joy i get from this be hop that sir john hughes have a good ol laugh when he saw a screening of this the same year his masterpiece of the breakfast club be release . don not make the same mistake i do of watching this because you enjoy 80 film . it really be that offensive to the genre .
