Description

It's the weekend, and five students have weekend detention. There's a jock, a princess, a misfit, a nerd, and a lout.

One of the best 1980s teen flicks!

"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?" During the decade of the 80s John Hughes certainly had his share of classic teen flicks.

The Brat Pack, Part 1

Teen angst has never been captured so perfectly. Brilliant dialog, sharp performances and real characters that sum up certain social identities to perfection. Unfortunately movies of such genre that are being currently released are missing all of the essentials that this movie contains. The kids today are just given crap to watch and try and identify with. Poor bastards.
