i had some harsh words for seven when i watched it for the first time a couple months ago, but i’m surprised how much it stuck in my consciousness. most movies i watch come and go but not this one..
been on a spike lee kick lately.. which should i watch for the first time tonight, jungle fever or malc x? i’m leaning jungle fever but i know malcom is highly acclaimed..
its pretty strange seeing molly ringwald playing the same person in literally every 80’s movie she’s in, makes me kinda think she’s a one trick pony when it comes to her acting ability.
so, if you’ve seen a john hughes movie before than you know exactly what your getting yourself into. great soundtrack classic romance, high school coming of age high school stuff. honestly i don’t mind those movies because i love seeing iconic actors in their primes.
i think this movie was too overboard on the romance aspect, and to a fault lacked the drama that hughes movie’s are usually good at portraying. very good performance from cryer, and i would recommend this movie to someone who needs some 80’s coming to age comfort food.
