I always felt they were connected too but then maybe it's because I loved the Bowling for Soup song, 1985: "I've seen all the classic, I know every line. Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, even St. Elmo's Fire." Hahaha, that's always been one of my favorites by that band. I actually hadn't seen any of those films when I heard that song, but now I've seen them all. The 80's would have been an interesting time to grow up in, but I think I was born in the right decade the 90's.

It was the 'right' time for you to be born; but what do you mean by the 'right' decade? I lived through the 80's and 70's and the bland, dreary 90's had nothing on these 2 periods. The very early part of the 90's, wasn't too bad.

I was 12 when this came out so I never watched it and always told myself around 1989 to 90 that I should watch it. I finally got around to watching it today lol it only took me 25 years. It was cool but weird at the same time, if you want my honest opinion it made me think about a Seinfeld episode, it felt like a movie about nothing. It does remind me though of how happy go lucky / smooth sailing the 80's felt but it really doesn't have a story that makes me want to watch it again. I would still prefer 16 Candles & Breakfast Club over this but I am glad I watched it at least once. I have yet to watch Pretty in Pink & Some Kind of Wonderful, those are next on my list. The coolest thing about never watching this but finally getting around to it was to see how young all the actors were in it. That was fun

They were all douchers in their own waywith more angst than Reality Bites.
But we are talking Joel Schumacher here, who also penned such erudite fare as Car Wash, The Wiz, and DC Cab.
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it? -

It's a bad movie. They took a bunch of young stars, threw them together and expected something great to happen, but it didn't. They publicized it heavily, so people remember it well, but there wasn't much good about it.

The film is a prime example, of what superficial and pandering Hollwood, can be all about. The music was good and the look of the film was 80's stylish, so it does have some positive attributes to it's credit. I watch it for a good laugh and to see how far we HAVEN'T come. I love picking the film to pieces. I recommend ABOUT LAST NIGHT-86', with Lowe and Moore. Far superior relationship film and more realistic, with an excellent, witty script and decent acting.
