Thoughts
This did not feel at all like a John Hughes movie, it was more like a Gremlins film or something odd like that. It was really weird and nonsensical and awful and yet somehow kind of intriguing. I thought we might be able to make it through more of the movie but once they got drunk and Anthony Michael Hall started up the worst and oddest accent ever, it was all over. A rare JH mis-step.
