Honors go to irrepressible filmmaker John Hughes

The Eastman House this month celebrates the late filmmaker John Hughes, the cinematic pied piper of adolescent America in the late '80s. Hughes virtually invented the teen film of the modern era, creating a formula of clever, cynical teens who overcame angst-ridden lives by being wittier and way ahead of their parents, teachers and other adults.

Interview: Matt Austin Sadowski

This is not how Matt Austin Sadowski wanted to release his John Hughes movie. A couple of years ago, the Toronto actor-filmmaker decided to make a documentary about the writer-director who defined the 1980s teen movie with Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off and vanished from sight in the early 1990s.

'Adventureland' a pretty standard teen rom-com
