Movie Haiku:Burstein undoubtedly got remarkable footage of a year in the life of Warsaw [Indiana] High School, but alas, she lost her way sometime in the editing room. Did marketing play too a big role here -- the obsessive need to create archtypes in order to hook audiences by recreating THE BREAKFAST CLUB poster???
