A comedy drama by John Hughes, starring Molly Ringwald and Emilio Estevez.A group of 5 students spend a Saturday in school detention and get to know each other better than they would have otherwise.The beginning of this film is funny and interesting. The characters are all stereotypically unique and everything seems to be coming together to make a great film. About half way through, the movie takes a dive into the crap zone and all of the characters become more similar. By the end, everyone is friends and they have all lost their defining characteristics. By the last scene where they walk out of the school, romantic relationships have mysteriously formed for all but one of the students and this ending makes me want to flush the film down the toilet. Yes, I can rate a film like this in the way I have. It's my fucking blog.
A comedy by John Hughes, starring Steve Martin and John Candy.A man is trying to get a cab to the airport, when a stranger takes the cab before he can get in. They meet in the airport and are seated together on the plane. Due to weather, their destination has closed it's airport. This starts a domino effect of things going wrong.An old friend of mine once told me that this was his favorite movie. I think the combination of Steve Martin and John Candy doing the "straight man, funny man" act is very effective. Combine this with a little bit of that 87 magic that I mentioned earlier and you've got a good movie.
A comedy directed by John Hughes.A high school boy pretends to be sick so he can skip school and retrieves 2 friends to spend the day with him. They spend the day avoiding authority figures and having fun.This is a very popular film among people my age, let alone a popular film in general. The characters are the best part and the setting of the big city that they play in works well. I'm rating it adequate because it's a good film, but very mainstream and very popular.
