John F What a trainwreck of a movie. Probably would have been best as a love triangle between Sheedy (the standout here), Nelson, and McCarthy but instead had all these other subplots that resulted in an undeveloped, unfocused story. It would be easy to complain about Nelson and Lowe (who "won" the Razzie for worst supporting actor) about their poor performances, but poor writing and direction didn't help their cause. Then are the songs that seem out of place, especially the "Man in Motion" track which seems a better fit for one of the Rocky sequels.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Chip C A certain generation can watch this a feel the entire film. If you watch it along with the Breakfast Club, you're reliving that wonderful time in your life where the world was yours to conquer. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Melissa M Not all critics are fans of this film. A lot of people think that the eighties was a decade of decadence. This movie pretty much is how a lot of people acted back then. The 80s were over the top. '80s was definitely one of the most economic decades. Most 20-year-olds are just trying to find their way. It is natural for them to get wrapped up in themselves. In a lot of ways they are still like kids trapped in adult bodies. At that age there's a lot of poor decision making. And impulsive decisions are made. They definitely look out for each other in this film. Especially when Jules gets herself in over her head. Billy surprisingly towards the end of the film shows he has a grown up side. When he tries to help her get out of a funk. Wendy is very level-headed. Her character is very mature for her age. She's the voice of reason in the group. Leslie is pretty down to earth. She gets a little impulsive. But she still has a good head on her shoulders. Kevin is indecisive. But by the end of the film he figures it all out. Kirby is love obsessed. He doesn't have his priorities straight. Love can make you do crazy things. By the end of the Movie he grows up somewhat. Give the film a chance you might be surprised. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, o elenco é legal, as histórias de dramas e de romance dos adolescentes é legal, com traições e coisas de relacionamentos, um meio que parece um episódio/filme de friends só que de adolescentes, por que são amigos que tem coisas de relacionamentos que acontece depois da formatura, o filme teve muito drama e pouca comédia para um elenco desse, eu só recomendo se quiser ver um filme de drama e romance de adolescentes, por que comédia não tem.
