Brats documentary emphasizes how the success of teen-focused films in the 1980s, especially John Hughes' works, marked a turning point where coming-of-age movies featuring a group of young actors became prominent in Hollywood.
The documentary reflects on how the Brat Pack actors, including Andrew McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, and others, starred in films depicting youth struggles, resonating globally and turning them into iconic stars.
Hollywood's discovery of the box office potential from young audiences through films like Risky Business and Dirty Dancing led to a prolific era of youth-centered movies like never before, creating a unique cultural impact.
The Brat Pack label, originating from a 1985 article by David Blum, portrayed the group negatively as unprofessional and over-privileged, sticking with them for decades despite their significant contributions to the film industry.
