It would, perhaps, be an overstatement to say that John Hughes invented the modern, post-counterculture Hollywood teen comedy (hello, Fast Times at Ridgemont High!). Read the full post.

“Planes, Trains and Automobiles” is sited by Roger Ebert as being a “great American film”, and I’ve never watched “Ferris Bueller” without it making me feel happy and unburdened. Your article is glib trash, and it’s no wonder why I always feel, after I’ve read your reviews, that you know nothing.

It’s a good thing I bought my own copy of The Breakfast Club on DVD this past Monday because on that same day, I heard about John Hughes’ passing, which is difficult to believe. My other John Hughes favorites are Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Home Alone, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Uncle Buck, and Dennis the Menace. Long live John Hughes!

This kind of article, written by this kind of arrogant “journalist”, is exactly the reason Hughes stopped making movies in the first place. Know-nothing, talent-less people like the writer of this article are why we never saw, and never will see, a movie of Breakfast Club-caliber ever again. Sad. So much talent, written about by a man with so little.
