BRATS

Spotlight+
Feature | United States | 92 MINUTES | English
Documentary

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 one New York magazine cover story in 1985 dubs them the Brat Pack, these 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, such as Emilio Estevez, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson, Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy, and Demi Moore, so that together they can reflect on their respective legacies. McCarthy also interviews fans and cultural critics to better understand the impact the Brat Pack movies have had over the decades. 

While fans of the John Hughes era of 80s teen movies will delight in seeing McCarthy reminiscing with his former peers. Brats is ultimately a disarmingly intimate Hollywood documentary about looking back on the past and reconciling with the difficulties of being a young adult in the spotlight.––Cara Cusumano
