Much to their surprise, Lisa winds up THEIR master as she concocts several scenarios to boost their popularity and show the rest of the school they're more courageous than they seem.But this wouldn't be a John Hughes joint without some truly problematic behavior by today's standards. From building a girl from magazine spreads, to an older hot woman seducing some teens, to Chet... well, being Chet... Like all other John Hughes fare, this teen comedy delivers ample amounts o humor, angst, and cringe and we're here for it.The films stars Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Bill Paxton, and Robert Downey Jr and has a runtime of 1 hour 34 minutes.CREDITSHosts: Kristina "Krissie" Rettig & Erin MaxwellEdited by: Russ LichterTheme Song by: Spooky Dan
