In 2008, four Canadian filmmakers set out to try and figure out why famous eighties director John Hughes disappeared off the planet Earth in 1991. So they travel to America (Particularly Chicago) to try and see if they can interview Hughes. During the documentary, you get to see some great interviews with some of the actors who starred in this great films like Kelly LeBrock (Weird Science), Ilan Mitchell-Smith (Weird Science), Judd Nelson (The Breakfest Club), John Kapelos (The Breakfest Club), Ally Sheedy (The Breakfest Club), Andrew McCarthy (Pretty In Pink), Gedde Watanabe (Sixteen Candles), Mia Sara & Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) plus other directors that were inspired by Hughes like Kevin Smith (Clerks), Jasonn Reitman (Juno), and Chris Wyatt (Napoleon Dynamite) to name a few. It's great to see throughout this movie the footage of the younger kids that say they love John Hughes movies because their classics and todays movies are not up to par. If you get a chance to see this then I suggest you check it out because it really does offer some really great incite into the time period when these movies were being made. I give the movie a B+.
