This film is one of those rare teen films from the 80s that is actually watchable and enjoyable, a rarity in this genre. The plot may be predictable, the characters a bit stereotyped, (not as bad as Breakfast Club however) but the dialogue and characterizations are very good. The film holds the interest throughout. It holds up well for its age and still maintains a positive message. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the ending, but it really doesn't matter, the film is so much fun to watch, you don't care.
