Don't You Forget About Me (I wish I could) catching up on my film reviews Chapter 1



Don't You Forget About Me

Cast:Ally Sheedy, Kelly LeBrock, Mia Sara, Judd Nelson, Kevin Smith, Andrew McCarthy, Alan Ruck, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, John Kapelos, Justin Henry

Director:Matt Austin

"After creating some of cinema's greatest teen films -- The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and more -- John Hughes vanished from the Hollywood scene in 1991. Years later, four adoring young filmmakers set out to find him. " NETFLIX

this synopsis omitted one important piece of information. let me just try and rewrite this

"After creating some of cinema's greatest teen films -- The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and more -- John Hughes vanished from the Hollywood scene in 1991. Years later, four of the most annoying people alive incompetently and annoyingly stalke him throughout the films short but painful running time. " miqueFLIX

these people are stupid. I'm talking late-night direct to video "can't believe Lions gate put this retarded slasher movie" teens stupid. you cannot write characters this inept.
no shred of authenticity in the reality of how these jackasses act when the red light on the cameras Ablinking , I kid you not, the exhaustively contrived bickering makes the hills seem Schindler's list compelling by comparison.

there is a scene near the end where the group has finally managed to stumble upon the residence of the 80s icon, it is at this point the film manages to holds any level of interest in all, I'd like to think any compassionate human is watching this and praying they have the wrong house

" please don't let these idiots come in contact with John Hughes"
" please don't let them see that this is his legacy that this is what it's come to"

they have managed to compile some pretty interesting interviews including some great moments with the 90s anti-Hughes ( lets be honest it's awesome but no real teens talk like this) Kevin Smith.

a bunch of JH alumni are also on hand but there contribution adds up to not much more than “I don't know where he is either"

its like you're watching Scooby doo and they replaced the cast with four fred's and that dumpy broad from the comic strips that can't get laid (nancy?) I can't think of anything more irritating.
