Plot summary

In the 1980s, Andrew McCarthy was part of a young generation of actors who were set to take over Hollywood after a string of successful teen movies. However, when the New York magazine cover story in 1985 dubs them the Brat Pack, stars in the making suddenly find themselves losing control over the trajectory of their careers. Now, almost forty years later, McCarthy looks to reconnect with peers and co-stars so that together they can reflect on their respective legacies.

Impact of Journalism

Sadly, watching this, I felt bad for the young actors. It did not impact movie goers like it did the actors. I felt the documentary was about the fact that McCarthy let it hit him so hard that it affected his career. Watching the other actors talk about their experience wasn't the same. They were upset, but they moved on, in some ways by separating themselves from the group, which is sad.

As a journalism major I was taught to be truthful, but be thoughtful and kind in my approach. Don't leave a trail of bones to make a personal attack, unless you have the experience or talent of the person you're interviewing. You're job is to report the facts, not personal opinion, unless its an editorial, which should hold no weight. The man who wrote the article did not have the same training apparently, nor did the editor. Before you demolish people, talk to them all and walk a mile in their shoes.

I'm sorry to see how it affected them personally. I would have enjoyed seeing them together in more movies. As a child of the 80s we related to the characters. I wish Andrew peace and happiness and hope he finds his bliss.

The results of 2 words

The best parts - 1. The old videos and clips that brought back a lot of memories from that time period.

2. Learning about the negative impact that the article had on their careers back then, I had not realized it effected them as much as it did.

3. Seeing a lot of the actors now... they are all still fantastic.

The worst parts - 1. It should have been an hour... there were way too many "clever" documantary shots. For instance, the video of a video of a video or the reflections in a subway. Cliches that made the story drag out and didn't add to piece.

2. Realizing that Andrew either hasn't went to a good counselor in the 35 years since then or he hasn't been open and receptive to what they were saying. You can tell that pretty much every actor he interviewed had processed it and moved on. Most of them seemed to have turned the negative into a positive and let it fuel them on to become better.

I am hoping his angst was mostly overemphasized for the project. Anxiety/rumination is a tough combo to live with and I hope he got peace from doing the documentary.

I'm glad he did this project and am grateful to him for sharing with us.

Take me back please.

This documentary hit me like a ton of bricks. The soundtrack, the movie scenes , seeing the guys. I was never able to describe why loved these movies so much but listening to the folks in the film explain why these films were so important to them 100% made me feel like they were speaking for me. To those that gave this film a negative review, it's obvious that you weren't around during those years. This documentary made me want to watch all those movies all over again for the first time. I feel sorry for this generation, you guys can't even spell nostalgia without expecting help from Google translate. Great film.
