A Brain, an Athlete, a Princess, a Basket Case, and a Criminal
Five reasons to watch this flick.
1). Great writing... John Hughes has an in depth way of taking adolescent issues and translating their complexity into fun, quick-witted language that is often times perverse towards "adultness".
2). Empathy -- what a relief! They no longer see one another in the "most convenient terms and simplest definitions."
3). The music. Or is that just me?
4). Emilio Estevez dancing! Not ice skating... (quack, quack, quack).
5). Timelessness. I feel the same way every time I watch this film; a little excited, nostalgic, and slightly inspired.
