i do not know what be up with that other guys comment . it intellectual rant like that which be the cause of him probably spend most of his high school life stuff in a locker . anyways . what so great about this movie be the character . i be in love with jennifer connely long before this movie and but this movie make her go to my top 5 beautiful woman of all time list . she look so good in this movie . the main character be so believable and sometimes the dialog seem a little too set up . every guy who grow up in the late 80 or grow up in a similar type town can relate to this movie . anyone who have work in a store after hour have either do or think of do what happen in this movie . also hughes do a good job of live out every young man fantasy of be lock in a place with a beautiful woman . or have a chance to get with the hot girl from school or in town . there so many thing to this movie it would take me forever to write it all . the music go along with the movie perfectly . it also really add to scene that would be kind of boring otherwise . john candy be great and the janitor be awesome and he do a great job for have such a small part . mcdermot be pretty weird in the movie and it hard to believe it even him . a totally contrast from his character in recent movie . the whole idea and story of the movie be well told and play out . i think the movie be entertain from begin to end . anyone who have a hard time deal with have to grow up will be able to relate to this movie .
