Maddcatt N I started out watching this in hopes it was a dive into the “where are they know” kind of documentary! It is not. I’m going to join in on the bandwagon of this is a “therapy session” for Andrew McCarthy! Ohh Blane, you need to heal from that article and that time in your life! It was hard to get through this movie. But I wanted to be supportive..it’s cringy…it’s awkward, it’s uncomfortable, I felt like Emilo Estevez at the start of the session. The thing is, I don’t think Andrew is ever going to heal from this..it truly affected him and we witnessed this. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Dana J Excellent work growing up up in the 80s I literally thought the Brat Pack was the end all be all!! I would have given anything at 16 yrs to be included in that grouping. I was shocked to see how it negatively effected Them. One thing I want to mention Emilio E. Hutton, and even Rob Lowe definitely earned my respect for having the character to take part in a documentary I hope it helped them heal old wounds Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Robin A It was so obvious this was an attempt by the “Nap Pack” to make one last stab at reviving their careers. McCarthy forgets that viewers watch people suffering all over the world and his asking us to spare sympathy for him, and a group of aged-out actors, is nothing less than absurd. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Badger S I haven’t watched St Elmo’s fire or Pretty In Pink but i’ve seen enough to know how ridiculous this ‘documentary’ is. Did it ever occur to Andrew McCarthy that he was just never really a good actor and was typecast as the cute nerd but then got too old to play the role?He also keeps talking about it being 30 years ago when it was 40 years ago, the dude is ten years out of touch with reality. Judd Nelson was a 26 year ol playing a high schooler in The Breakfast club and was also not very good. Rob Lowe owes his fame to his looks, Emilio is successful due to being good, landing some really good roles and nepotism, Molly is not very good looking or acting Demi Moore is a has been most famous for the last twenty years for being a cougar but Alley Sheedy and Lea Thompsoni arestill gorgeous. I have never understood the appeal of John Cryer John Hughes has been dead a long time and he was basically the puppet master for a bunch of cloying and cringey ‘coming of age’ movies, he was only good when he did mostly straight comedy like Ferris and Vacation movies. Anthony Michael Hall chose not to be involved and this was the only thing smart about this fiasco. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Angela W Excellent insight to one of the best times in film making. The “brat pack” inspired the lives of young people in the 80’s. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Peter G I was looking forward to watching this as I was close to the same age as many of them in the '80s. However, I found it rather boring. The actors themselves weren't interesting nor were their lives very interesting outside of their work and there was nothing revelatory. I stopped watching at the point where the pretentious Malcolm Gladwell prattles on about "desegregation." What does that have to do with a bunch of kids who made movies in the '80s? If anything the documentary is disappointing in that it reveals that the Brat Pack wasn't particularly special at all.
