John Hughes's Kate Journey

"It triggers a big moment for John Hughes's career too, because as a writer, his movies up to this point are either seen through the eyes of parents trying to deal with their family," says Sean. "I think that the fact that he clearly thought of this movie as a parent imbues like the Kate journey for as silly as parts of it are." Catherine O'Hara's performance is wonderful and she does such a good job of keeping it funny, but also being like really haggard.
