You've gotta love this movie!!
This is one of the best, if not THE best 80's film there is. The fact is, every teen character in this movie can be related to someone you probably knew in high-school. If you were a child of the 80's, you will surely agree that this is a representative cross-section of every high school in North America. The geek, the jock, the outcast, the rich pretty-girl snob, and the future criminal. They all exist, to some degree or another, in the classrooms of every high school.
