It was a good flick in it's day. If you're into that kind of feel-good teen coming-of-age movies then you'll like it. It's a good film for everyone to see once. Like geminigear said, you have to watch it on DVD or else on one of the pay movie channels like HBO. The family "G" version with all the good lines edited for content is lame. It's got a representative from several of the stereotypical social classes in the typical mid-80's high school - a jock, a headbanger, a nerd, an outcast, and a preppy chick. I won't spoil it for you if you want to see it. You'll see what I mean when you see it.
