Greetings All - hope this weekend finds you and yours doing well.
It's quite surprising to me that this film has received so much slack thru the decades. I will admit that it comes off pretty dated with each passing decade, but this was directed by Amy Heckerling (Fast Times At Ridgemont, hello!) and written by John Hughes (Breakfast Club, etc, hello again!) And does it belong below ranking of "Vegas" and "Christmas" like you see on most lists? Hell, no! I can't even sit through five minutes of either of those.
Below are my top five scenes and also a link to various scenes from MovieClips.
- Rusty complains about wearing berets in Paris and they go to the top of the Eiffel Tower where he throws his beret off the top and a little dog jumps after it.
- The scene in London where Clark accidentally gets in the wrong bed.
- French Cafe where Audrey gets a letter and Rusty keeps staring at a couple making out. "I think he's going to pork her, dad"
- The scene with Moon Zappa, not so much comical as classic. Her dad had just released "Valley Girl" about a year prior.
- "Look kids, there's Big Ben, Parliament. "Look kids, forget it." "I just cannot seem to get left"
