You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried

Gora acknowledges up front that she's a fan of Hughes, and the entire 80s teen genre. With that in mind, her starstruck writing shows it. The interviews are great, but David Blum (who coined the nickname “the brat pack”) is villainized pretty heavily. A chapter on “Say Anything” is included, but it feels almost tangential.

Knocked an entire star off of this review because she called Uncle Buck “sub-par” and I have never been so angry.
