In this movie, if your 1980’s pop culture memories have been fogged over by the passage of time, is about a group of students who are sentenced to Saturday detention “to ponder the error of (their) ways” because of misdeeds during the school week, and end up (spoiler alert) with a better understanding of themselves and each other.
