Ok, I really hate it when they do that. Y'know, put popular people's names in movies and make thin *THINK* they may be something like what that popular person has done before. Granted John Hughes was the Executive Producer of the movie and maybe his blood James Hughes wrote the movie, but if you're expecting anything even close to the Breakfast Club or Ferris's lovely day off, you're in for a big suprise. This movie is very very dark. There is only one scene that is remotely funny. For a 90-minute movie, it seemed to last forever. The ending was very bland and just didn't impress me at all.

Where the heck did this movie come from? Didn't find it listed on the Film Releases website. The post in Trailers & Attachments indicates it's a Disney picture. That must mean Disney is dumping a loser in 1-2 cities with no promotion.

Charles - This movie was given a test release in 6 markets (Minneapolis, Chicago for sure). Info is available at www.upcomingmovies.com

Even the soundtrack was terrible. Lousy storyline. We had one person watch it on opening night! And it hasn't been much better since then. Its playing on 9 Marcus, 1 GC screens in the Milwaukee area, and then our theatre north of MKE.
