- The couple are predicted to have met too early for a permanent relationship because freshman-year changes and academic uncertainty would strain them.
- One forecast has the relationship end after he drunkenly kisses someone else and she never forgives him; it may not survive the first summer.
- A conflicting forecast says they make it through most of college before he wants to be himself and do something else.
- Risky Business and The Sure Thing are ranked first and second among 1980s teen movies, followed initially by The Breakfast Club, The Karate Kid, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
- The Karate Kid is then removed from the teen-movie ranking because it is considered more a sports movie, leaving The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off on the four-film list.
- Daphne Zuniga is argued to have deserved Brat Pack membership and to have been preferable to Ally Sheedy in St. Elmo's Fire, The Breakfast Club, and Bad Boys.
- One Crazy Summer is used to compare Demi Moore's role with the kind of part Daphne Zuniga played, prompting speculation that Zuniga might have had a career resembling Moore's.
