Great Product, Great Service
John Hughess popular 1985 teen drama finds a diverse group of high
school students--a jock (Emilio Estevez), a metalhead (Judd Nelson), a
weirdo (Ally Sheedy), a princess (Molly Ringwald), and a nerd (Anthony
Michael Hall)--sharing a Saturday in detention at their high school for one
minor infraction or another. Over the course of a day, they talk through the
social barriers that ordinarily keep them apart, and new alliances are born,
though not without a lot of pain first. Hughes (Sixteen Candles), who wrote
and directed, is heavy on dialogue but he also thoughtfully refreshes the
look of the film every few minutes with different settings and original
viewpoints on action. The movie deals with such fundamentals as the
human tendency toward bias and hurting the weak, and because the
characters are caught somewhere between childhood and adulthood, its
easy to get emotionally involved in hope for their redemption. Preteen and
teenage kids love this film, incidentally. --Tom Keogh
Because this is a review that is supposed to be on the DVD itself, Ill begin
by saying that the special features may not be ultimately all that expansive.
But for any fan who wanted to know a little bit more about this fantastic
movie and the actors in it, the documentaries contained and the feature
commentary by Judd Nelson and Anthony Michael Hall are great
supplemental knowledge. The picture is clearer than the original and the
sound quality seems to be much better in the film itself.
There are never enough words to describe how fantastic this movie is. It
speaks to multiple generations of young people without condescention.
Honestly, I would recommend it to anyone starting high school or better
yet, anyone who has already gotten to know a year or two of it.
Please do not be put off by its R-rating. The issues and kind of language
that gave it this rating can be heard in the span of one day in high school.
Its tastefully done and packed with emotion.
I cannot praise this film enough.
Classic movie!
