I'm not asking that challengingly; but I remember how popular the movie was in its day, and when I was watching it on television yesterday, I wondered "Why?" I thought it was interesting enough, although none, or almost none, of these characters are people I would have spent much time with even when I was their age.

It's really just a novelty film to see (most of) the Brat Packers all together at one time.
When there's no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.share
I've never understood. One of life's mysteries.
shareI think because at the time these actors were stars, so people wanted to see them. At least none of them has died yet and some have gone on to great careers.
shareI think the movie's appeal is that it makes early twentysomethings feel good about themselves. Like, no matter how obnoxious you think you are, you'll never be as toxic as these entitled, know-nothing pricks.
They simply wanted to see how many smug self-obsessed twats they could squeeze into the same movie.
shareThis was a nice little film that the producers thought would be a nice companion to "The Breakfast Club", but in my opinion, the direction and writing were very lackluster.
In my humble opinion, "The Breakfast Club" is one of the best, if not the best, films about teenage angst. This is the film that helped to form "The Brat Pack".
