- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The best teenage comedy since last year's 'Risky Business'"
-
"A fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk"
-
"Hughes invokes the classical unities of time, place, and plot symmetry, yet he trashes his careful structure every time he needs a gag - destroying the integrity of his characters"
-
"The movie is cheerful and light, showcasing Mr. Hughes's knack for remembering all those aspects of middle-class American adolescent behavior that anyone else might want to forget"
