Harmless, but inaccurate

James-184

This film brings up the tail end of the 1980s "John Hughes-ish" movies about earnest teens and young adults.  As a tail-ender, it's not as rewarding as The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, or even Some Kind of Wonderful.  It's not a great movie, not even that good of a movie, but if you like its kinfolk, you may enjoy it.

One caution: its portrayal of college debate is utter fiction.  Do not imagine for a moment that college debate resembles this film's view of it in the slightest.
