Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The film creates a perfect embodiment of every adolescent's nightmare.
Fresh: A simple, lovely and thoughtful teenage story that occasionally shines due to fine characterizations and lucid dialog.
Rotten: Lighter and less filling than usual.
Fresh: Like her energy, Masterson's beauty is kinetic, internalized, and she's a winner even if the film itself runs third in the Hughes opus on teenhood.

Awesome 80s Flick!
I have been waiting for this on itunes! So happy they finally have it! They need to get Valley Girl though. That was another good one!
Finally, finally, finally.....
I have been requesting this for what seems like years now, my John Hughes collection is now almost complete, this being the second best of the bunch. "I'd rather be alone for the right reasons, than be with someone for the wrong reasons, it's going to be good to stand on my own." Classic!
Great movie but...
The HD transfer is lacking!! Also purchased "Pretty In Pink" and that transfer was gorgeous so I assumed that after seeing this in the "new releases" section, that it was newly remastered. Unfortunately, if it was, it wasn't done by the same company that did PIP. It looks like Im watching an up-res'd version of an SD copy. Disappointed.
