A Brilliant Conflict

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Other than Eric Stoltz, I found the teen characters here completely unrealistic, some of them of late college age, and others either totally unlikable, badly acted, or empty inside where it counts. At times I thought Mary Stuart Masterson came off zombie like, and other times, completely out of character for what she was playing when fully at attention in the part. She's an outsider, hating the A group (can't blame her for that...) and at times to only want friendship with Stoltz then staring at him strangely. A girl's locker room sequence is completely uncomfortable to watch as she looks on at the basically nice Lea Thompson with a combination of lust and loathing. Camera shots going down Thompson's panty clad body is severely gratuitous. Then there's Stoltz's family: a father who interferes in his desires for his own future, completely obnoxious and despicable; the mother who seemingly ignores her daughter's out of preference for her son; and the two younger sisters, one just absolutely unlikable and self centered, and the baby just longing for some kind of attention and getting none. The only thing about that family I liked was seeing one of my all time favorite soap divas (Jane Elliott) playing a far cry from Tracy Quartermain as a working class mother. The situation of Thompson apparently using Stoltz to get back at old boyfriend Craig Scheffer was absurd, cliched and boring, presenting an obnoxious story that shows a generation who would now be parents of post college age adults acting just as badly as the young generation today. No wonder adults ignored my generation when I was a teen, and no wonder why my generation ignores high school age kids today!

This was the only John Hughes film from his 80s heyday that I had not seen back in the day. I remember seeing the previews for this and when Mary Stuart Masterson says, "The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums and you" I scoffed and wrote the film off. I shouldn't have because this was a very endearing and sincere teen drama. The film is a love triangle between working class Eric Stoltz, who is crushing on rich girl Lea Thompson, who's also best friends will fellow working class tomboy Mary Stuart Masterson, who is also crushing on Stoltz. What made this film more interesting than most is how the relationships play out. Thompson only agrees to go on a date with Stoltz as a way to get back at her jerk rich boyfriend, Craig Sheffer, who she just broke up with. None of Thompson's friends think she should go out with Stoltz, and all of the other kids, including Masterson, tell Stoltz she's only going out with him to get back at her ex-boyfriend. Thompson (SPOILER ALERT) never seems interested in Stoltz and I think that's where this film get a bit more interesting than most, taking a less obvious of standard love triangle. There is a bit of suspense whether Thompson will actually start to like Stoltz the way he likes her, but the main drama is whether Stoltz will realize that he should be with Masterson. I wasn't really sure how this film was going to play out, which is always good for a film. Hughes' "Pretty in Pink" has the rich boy casting aside the aspersions of his snooty friends to end up with the cute working class girl. That film's original script was supposed to have had a different ending, with Molly Ringwald ending up with Ducky, but that ending was re-shot after test audiences didn't it (Cryer was clearly playing Ducky as gay, so there was never really any real romantic tension there, so the change was the right choice). This film retains Pretty in Pink's original ending, which may have been the impetus for re-writing what is essentially the same class conflict love triangle. Another strength of this film is it's strong supporting cast, which includes the sadly underused John Ashton as Stoltz' gruff but understanding father and Elias Koteas looking very young as a punk rock bad boy who helps out Stoltz, which is a hoot to watch. And look for a very young Candace Cameron as one of Stoltz' younger sisters. Overall, when it comes to class warfare love triangles, this film is certainly not "A Place in the Sun" and although it is not as iconic as "Pretty in Pink," it does feature strong performances by the three leads, well rounded characters you believe and care about, and a very realistic and identifiable love story. All around, this is a solid 1980s teen drama that deserves to be remembered alongside "The Breakfast Club" and "Pretty in Pink."

John Hughes was sort of the master at this kind of film, producing lots in quick succession around similar themes. This is perhaps my favourite of his work.It's a simple story, beautifully told, with three good central performances. As with any Hughes film the music equally plays its part to good effect as well.I know that 'Breakfast Club' is the best known of Hughes' 80's comedies, with 'Pretty in Pink' also having a strong following, but for me there are so many lovely moments within this film that it's stuck with me the more times I see it.I can only recommend you take a look at it yourself.

Eric Stoltz, Lea Thompson, Mary Stuart Masterson, Craig Sheffer, Elias Koteas and John Ashton star in this 1987 romantic comedy-drama. Stoltz (Mask) plays artistic teen, Keith Nelson who has a crush on popular girl, Amanda Jones (Thompson). He asks her out after she breaks up with her cheating boyfriend, Hardy Jenns (Sheffer). She accepts in order to get back at Hardy and Keith goes out of his way to impress her. Soon, Keith learns why Amanda accepted and that Hardy plans to teach him a lesson by inviting them to his party. Keith decides to stand up for himself and Amanda by confronting Hardy. Masterson (Chances Are) plays Keith's Tomboyish friend, Watts who wants to be more than that, Koteas (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) plays Keith's new pal, Duncan who is also artistic and Ashton (Beverly Hills Cop) plays Keith's father, Cliff. I've always enjoyed this film and the cast is great. I recommend this good 80's romance flick.
