than see this film again . though i do laugh at a few joke and think that martha plimpton character be funny and real and the movie be a complete disaster and thoroughly disappointing . most of the character be at best wooden and at bad excruciatingly annoy and the acting performance be terrible and even from some of my favorite . for example and christina ricci normally excellent put on the bad new jersey accent i have ever hear . also and i do not get the feeling that this movie be take place in the early 80 . if it weren not for the annoyingly omnipresent mtv soundtrack and a few flock of seagull do and i probably would have completely forget the time set . to get your 1981 fix represent rent a bunch of john hughes movie and get out your old album and look at your high school yearbook or photo album from the time . you will enjoy yourself and probably laugh much more .
