Overview

Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

The film is a cannon, evokes memories of his affairs, troubles and unrestrained fun, during his school years) Such a game was created, ahahah, yes, I don't mind now😈

Modern schoolchildren have not changed much, to be honest. All the same problems and problems)

It's a great movie! And the acting of the young actors is just great! You empathize with the characters, not like in most modern films.

One of the best films in the history of cinema! 📽️
I'm ready to review it endlessly! 🍿
So many flashbacks from my school days. Everyone is such a different person, each with their own background of life problems that are actively provoked by their actions in everyday life!
That's 11 out of 10!!!

I don't like old movies because most of them haven't passed the test of time. Unclear dynamics, undisclosed characters, irrelevant controversial topics. They tell me that it's because of my clipped mindset and I just don't understand the classics of cinema. But there are only 5 teenagers here, and I couldn't get away from the screen. The script, the music, the message, the costumes, absolutely everything is in place. You believe and empathize with actors, even though you've been through adolescence for a long time. So the question is not about my "clipped" thinking, but about the fact that "adults" hold on to their self-esteem and are even ready to call a turd a rose, just to be right. Basically, that's what the movie is about.

"Dear Mr. Vernon, we recognize that we have to sacrifice an entire Saturday for the offense we committed. Yes, we are to blame, but forcing us to write an essay about ourselves is just madness.
What do you care who we are? You see us the way you want to see us. In short, very simplistic. We discovered that each of us is a Smartass, an Athlete, a Psychopath, a Princess, and a Criminal.
Is this the answer to your question? Sincerely yours, Weekend Club."

Infinitely cozy and vibe movie ♥️

Yesterday I started reviewing Dawson's Bay (TV series 1998-2003) https://myshows.me/view/526 to remember James Van Der Beek, 1/7 remembered this movie
