Review: I first saw this movie a few years ago and i loved it. It's no Hamlet or anything but well worth your time. If you like Adam Sandler movies or if you likes Empire Records you will probblably like this. Not much point to it but funny as hell.

Summary: John Hughes will always be the King of Comedy!
Review: I loved this comedy and thought it was original and hysterical. Frank Whaley plays a great dork just waiting to break out of his shell and funny cameo by John Candy. Let's not forget Jennifer Connelly's very large breasts. This is definitely worth the price of admission!

Summary: A movie for all of us who were "outcasts" in High School!!!
Review: I loved this movie!!!! Frank Whaley is an underated actor who gives a very energetic perfomance, and Jennifer Connoly, well...'nuff said. I guess I'm a little biased in this review because I was one of those labeled in high school "Outcast", and I identify with the main character. It's about damn time one of us got the most girl popular girl in high school!!! Sorry that's the pain from High School talking. And which one of wouldn't imitate Jim Dodge's antic's if we were locked in Target for one night!?!?!?!?!

Summary: I like it for what it could have been.....
Review: I watched this movie for the first time in many years the other day and had to come to this board to see the comments. Just as I thought, a lot of guys oogling Jennifer Connelly. And with very good reason. This movie was the worst in the John Hughes collection, but I can't tell you why because I didn't care a thing about the plot or the lead male character or the robbers or even John Candy, of whom I was a very big fan. I just know that Jennifer Connelly is an absolute doll in this movie, whether it be on roller skates or on a mechanical dime-store horse (especially a mechanical dime-store horse). In fact I think she comes across sexier here than she does in The Hot Spot, where she shows even more of her assets.Alas, today Jennifer Connelly has gone the way of Calista Flockhart and lost the babyfat and become a serious actress, even carting home an Oscar, but her role in Career Opportunities will be the one remembered by fans years from now.

Summary: It's actually quite funny and Connely looks great (as usual)
Review: It's surprising to find that this movie actually works in its own right. Although lame in parts overall it should certainly have you watching it through more than once (providing to don't mind John Hughes' kind of humour) Jennifer Connely of course looks great too

Summary: Boobs:Yes, but I like the pitifulness of high school life...
Review: Jennifer Connelly is beautiful and sexy.But really attracted me to this film is the conversation between Whaley and Connelly about those four years of high school and what it meant to both of them. Connelly found them to be the best years of her young life, never to be had again. Whereas Whaley found them to be four years of agony and persecution and was absolutely enlightened when they were over. Both characters seemed stagnant in their growth due to their affliation to those particular years.This seems apparent to anyone who has ever went to their high school reunion. Also, I happened to work for Target(store 100) at the time of this release. It was the best job I had ever had. So there is some bias here.

Summary: Ugh!
Review: Little did I know as I watched this movie that Jennifer Connelly would be a huge star or that a Target would acutally open in my neighborhood in the years to come. But even that doesn't mitigate the bad taste I still have in my mouth from this movie.Try not to watch it if you're in a career slump or in between jobs or depressed! I was all of the above at the time, and watching this was the worst punishment I could have inflicted upon myself.This was surely the last hurrah of 20something-bashing, you know, the kind of uneducated diatribes in which this demographic was perceived as lazy, unambitious, boring, and jaded. In reality the 20somethings were in a slump in the early 90's because of a recession and a poor job market, not because of any lack of ambition on their part. But you wouldn't know it to watch this movie. It does great injustice to GenX.

Summary: Sweet-Natured Comedy.
Review: Now, I'll be honest . . . this isn't a really good movie. ... However, this is a John Hughes comedy, and he has this indescribable appeal in all his movies . . . this film is very corny and cliche-ridden, but it is self-aware of all its cheesy jokes! Because of this, it is a highly-enjoyable piece of popcorn fluff, as only John Hughes ("the master of watchable teen flicks") could write 'em. The plot is simple: a 21-year-old guy, who happes to be the town liar, can't seem to find a job anywhere. He lives at home with his parents, who have just about had it with their son's laziness and innability to keep a steady income for more than three weeks. So, in a desperate move, his dad gets him a position at. . . . . . none other than. . . . Target! But there's just one problem: he's the night shift pick-up boy. So, locked in at 7:00, he tends to his chores, and then begins to do some hysterical time-passers. Little does he know it, however, that he was also locked in accidentally with the town beauty (the gorgeous Jennifer Connely). The two slowly become friends as the night passes; until two "Home Alone"-esque thieves attempt to rob the store. The ending is somehow disappointing, but hey, it was never that great of a movie to begin with. Now, don't get me wrong, it has its funny attributes to it (heck, at times it's downright side-splitting). But one can easily tell who its main audience was meant to be (teenage boys). Jennifer Connely is constantly showing off her glamour and good looks; the overlong close-ups of her face, and the dancing & rollerskating scenes give it all away. But, Jennifer Connelly was (and still is) hot-as-hell, and her showing off of her body gives the movie many of its high points, especially when she's distrating the thieves (just watch the scene with her riding the nickle-ride horse to see what I mean). Now, some may call it slow and boring. But I think that's part of what makes John Hughes such a great filmmaker: he's not afraid to move at a steady pace, like far too many films these days are. In short, it serves as a more-than-worthy time passer, and should especially please any Jennifer Connelly and/or John Hughes fan.
