Richard Corliss: "Hughes generated successful movie-comedy franchises
as fast as other people wrote postcards. First the National Lampoon
Vacation films ... Then the teen movies" - Sixteen Candles, The
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off - "not
strictly a series but with more or less the same rep company of kids.
And then the blockbuster Home Alone" and its sequels. (Not to mention
the movies about Beethoven the enormous dog, written under a pseudonym.)
