I remember watching this film when I was growing up, I loved it then and I still love it.
Despite the fact it's obviously predictable, it's a fun film that's well acted and directed and has a great soundtrack.
Christina Applegate is quite impressive as Sue-Ellen, as is the rest of the cast.
Most of the characters are quite black and white with the obvious "baddies" getting their comeuppance towards the end of the film. Predictable films howeverm, aren't always bad. Especially if they are well acted and the characters are interesting. The only character that was meant to be nice that I found utterly annoying, was Josh Charles as Sue-Ellen's sugary sweet suitor, Bryan. His acting was great don't get me wrong, but I think it's safe to say Bryan wouldn't be MY type!
If anything else, this fun film is easy to watch and will remind most people in their mid 20's of their adolescents.
