Y'know, put popular people's names in movies and make thin *THINK* they may be something like what that popular person has done before. Granted John Hughes was the Executive Producer of the movie and maybe his blood James Hughes wrote the movie, but if you're expecting anything even close to the Breakfast Club or Ferris's lovely day off, you're in for a big suprise. This movie is very very dark. There is only one scene that is remotely funny. For a 90-minute movie, it seemed to last forever. The ending was very bland and just didn't impress me at all.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 09-08-2001 11:16 AM                     Where the heck did this movie come from? Didn't find it listed on the Film Releases website. The post in Trailers & Attachments indicates it's a Disney picture. That must mean Disney is dumping a loser in 1-2 cities with no promotion.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-10-2001 01:02 AM                        Charles - This movie was given a test release in 6 markets (Minneapolis, Chicago for sure).

Lousy storyline. We had one person watch it on opening night! And it hasn't been much better since then. Its playing on 9 Marcus, 1 GC screens in the Milwaukee area, and then our theatre north of MKE.  |  IP: Logged
