explain to me why after this frank whaley do not turn into a huge star . this be as good a turn a matthew broderick in ferris bueller . whaley carry this film with a swagger that defy belief . we have all know total b artists post high school like this . the opening scene alone be worth the price of admission . definitely one of john hughes underrated gem . add to that the fact this will remind you of how hot jennifer connelly use to be before she get all stick figure on u in her adulthood . the violence i think really we could have do without . it seem a crutch many american flick fall back on . i mean and how many comedy seem to want to put gun in them . sorry and but how often do the average person actually see a gun pull in their lifetime . it be really unnecessary to have the whole trap in the store after hour and then have connelly and whaley hold hostage .
