Molly Ringwald is amazing... I have loved her in each of the movies I have seen her in and this one is no exception. The concept of this movie is wonderful. A brain, an athlete, a princess, a basket-case and a criminal; serving detention together. You would say they have nothing in common, so very different from each other, but each with his own sufferings, own stories, and own talents.
Some of the incidents, specially those concerning the teacher are somewhat over-the-top but that completely makes up for what the movie is trying to achieve. The five completely different personalities, trying to get along, quarreling about what they think is right, getting into fights but sticking together against the teacher.
Ally Sheedy has done a great job. Though I would have preferred if she wasn't made pretty in the end. That kind of goes against her personality.
The movie is a must-see. Some hilarious scenes, some heart-wrenching moments and a talented star-cast. I would have given it a perfect score if not for the two kisses in the end. One (any one would have been okay but to commence two relationships is a little too much.
