Anthony Michael Hall's still stuck in detention 38 years later, and now he's the teacher.
A coming of age film about a group of high school seniors forced to spend a Saturday at school completing an exam they either missed taking or failed. By the end of the day, they find their own values, betrayals and love within themselves and their classmates.
Acting
Hall leans into meta-winking authority figure with surprising warmth.
Writing
Dialogue knows it's ripping off better films and almost makes that charming.
Director
Nicholas Celozzi
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Celozzi cast Hall after direct-messaging him on Instagram; the entire film was shot in 12 days in a real Illinois high school.
Released the same year as Hulu's 'The Breakfast Club' documentary, this accidentally became part of a weird 80s nostalgia industrial complex no one asked for.
