Hard to believe how many contemporary reviews still rave about this movie. Apart from the fact that it's sexist, racist and every other -ist in the book, it has no story, no style, it's incredibly poorly made, has mostly weak performances from the actors, and it's not funny in the least. No redeeming qualities at all.

I love a few of Hughes' movies, and more or less enjoyed a handful more, but he has quite a few that are just... disturbing. This might be the worst of them.

I expected a silly comedy, along the lines of American Pie. Instead, I got a great dramedy. Great acting, script, dark humour, good pace, everything you need for a very good movie. It was infuriating and hilarious at the same time. I really enjoyed it. I kept putting off watching it, because I was not in the mood for silliness, but it was not silly at all.
