Classic 80s movie that actually ages pretty well. Likable characters and overall super fun watch.

A great 100% 80's nostalgia flick. Watch it if you love the 80's.

Entertaining. Very 80s. Yeardley Smith's tiny role is a treat

It's a teen movie (80's kids), but doesn't talk down to them, quite rare. Slater is outstanding. Yes the pacing is weird, but I love this.

When you're 17, people think they can do anything to you. Billie Jean is about to prove them wrong.

All I can really say on this movie is that I have been trying to C it 4 decades as it has a decent cast, & a plot kind of ahead of its time?

If you want to understand 80's teen angst, this movie is covered with it. Great for nostalgia- not sure would hold up as anything >meh now.

Wandering story, not really much of a point to it. I was hoping for more.
