I was in high school when this came out. My high school had more preppies and less punkers, but I still thought this movie was enjoyable. If you don't try to pick it apart, it's worth the view. Spader reminds me of why Levi's button fly 501's were made. Just have fun with it. If you were a teen in the 80's this will have you searching for the nostalgia like looking for Where's Waldo. You can't just leave it alone.
