It Has Nothing To Do With Class

Brats brought me here. I say that because without the 2024 documentary about the Brat Pack I would never have heard of this movie and I grew up in the 80's.On the face of it Class is one of those all too common fish out of water movies in which a working class kid ends up at a posh university, and has to deal with fitting in.However although it is made clear there is a class discrepancy between the two main characters, it is never discussed at any point in the movie. What instead we have is yet another one of those teenage guy makes it with a hot older woman movie. This was a very common 80's trope. The complication in this movie is the relationship that this older woman has to the two male leads.This is a solid 6 out of 10, its entertaining enough to keep watching but not that memorable. This is probably why this isn't mention in the same breath as Ferris Bueller or Risky Business. Despite the Brat Pack member cast. Indeed you will realise that none of the characters are particularly strong or well written. There is nothing particularly taxing about watching this, aside from a few cringe moments. Its maybe a good nostalgia movie if you have seen it when it was released but there isn't much here for a younger audience. This is the kind of movie you rented from the video library when all the other stuff was out, based on the movie poster being suggestive of some hot older woman action. It doesn't quite deliver on that but none of these movies did.

Lost Between Comedy and Drama

The naive and clumsy Jonathan (Andrew McCarthy) joins the prep school Vernon Academy expecting to go to Harvard. He befriends his wealthy roommate Skip (Rob Lowe) and soon he sends Jonathan to Chicago to lose his virginity. Jonathan meets the thirty and something years old Ellen (Jacqueline Bisset) and they have a love affair. Jonathan lies to her about where he studies and he falls in love with her. When they decide to travel to New York, Ellen accidentally discovers that Jonathan studies at the Vernon Academy and she vanishes. In the Christmas break, Skip invites Jonathan to spend the holiday with his family, and Jonathan has a huge surprise finding who Ellen is.

"Class" is a pleasant movie that begins very funny, with Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, John Cusack and Virginia Madsen very young. Jacqueline Bisset is extremely beautiful and fits perfectly to the role of Ellen. Unfortunately the story is lost between comedy and drama with a disappointing conclusion. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Uma Questão de Classe" ("A Question of Class")
