A group of friends graduates from the halls of Georgetown University into lives that revolve around sex and career aspirations. Kirby waits tables to pay for law school. His roommate Kevin struggles at a D.C. newspaper as he searches for the meaning of love. Jules may be an object of adoration and envy, but secretly she has problems of her own. Demure Wendy is in love with Billy—a loveable sax player and an irresponsible drunk. Alec wants it all: a career in politics and the appearance of a traditional home life. Alec’s girlfriend, Leslie, is an ambitious architect who doesn't know about his infidelity, but his new allegiance to the Republican Party is already enough to put her off marriage.

Going into this film, I expected something just as witty, engaging and entertaining at the Breakfast Club, which nearly all the leading actors and actresses starred in. However, after watching this film, I was left feeling completely empty and a bit strange.While this film has its flaws, it has many things that help it shine. We have realistic stories with real, fleshed out characters. We understand these characters' motives and what drives them. We can relate to the core messages of most of their plots which help us empathize with them.However, this movie is like a sitcom without and punchlines. There is this aura of that this should have been a television series. This film sets up the story so well, but about half way through, it all falls a part. Everything ends up being wrapped into a nice little bow and everything seems to be perfect again. The struggles our characters face don't seem to really matter, because a big bandaid is placed over everything. The climax of the film is a huge letdown, with no major event really pushing the characters.Emilo Estevez probably has the best storyline of the film, with Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy coming in on a close second. Demi Moore's story line is a very strong one, but ends up falling apart with no real resolution. Everything else the characters go through doesn't seem to really matter. While we do become invested in the stories, they are shallow and lackluster.Overall, it is a good film and it's great to see these actors work so well together. However, the back half of the film falling apart severely prevents this movie from standing up as tall as it should be able to.

I'm sure St. Elmo's Fire is considered to be a defining 80's movie, and the ship that launched half a dozen careers but good grief, it is a stupid movie. Nuf said.

This movie features a fantastic cast! Some people gave the brat pack a bad reputation. I dint think that reputation is deserved at all, the cast in this movie is great! Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Andie Macdowell, and Emileo Estevez were all great in their roles, even though Emileo's character was a little annoying at times. This movie did have scenes with great dialouge and acting! I really love how this film displays fine talent among young people! It's really great to watch this movie and see the awesome talent! Joel Scheumacer is one of my absolute favorite directors, I think he really knows what he's doing when it comes to movies! I do think the film was kinda slow in some parts, I didn't appreciate that. I do wish it would've kept a constant strong flow through out. This films saving grace was its great cast and good dialogue! It's not a classic or a great film, but it's worth watching, especially if you're a teenager! 6/10.

I had seen bits and pieces of this movie over the years and had heard about it but never really seen the whole movie. Also I don't think I really understood it fully in the 80s being so young.Seeing it recently now that Im an adult I fully grasp the realities of life it was portraying in the 80s. The characters are so finely tuned and precise it looks as though they had a lot of time to rehearse and discuss their roles together as a cast. This is really rare in film production where some actors come together on day 1 and start shooting. Nevertheless it is a beautiful coherent and concise cast all performing as one.The story is very well crafted and precise as well. The result is a great film with intense and real emotions that are fresh and striking. I fell completely into their world in the 80s.The movie is a real Icon of its time and real artistic expression of life and survival in the world in the 80s.
