of the hughes teen film and which i think be an important genre of film and especially from the 1980 . this one be basically joke or joke or joke or maudlin moment or joke or joke or joke . but it somehow work and largely on the strength of the cast . molly ringwald have never be good and and anthony michael hall be superb . their chemistry hold it together and as be the case in most of the hughes film . but there be an undeniable glee and anarchy present that make this worth watching and despite some crude film making and joke that fall flat .
