New York Magazine coined the term "Brat Pack" in 1985 to describe a group of young Hollywood stars, including Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson. The label stuck, defining a generation of actors known for their off-screen antics and on-screen successes. Andrew McCarthy, a member of this elite group, reflects on the highs and lows of that era in his new documentary "Brats." The film explores the impact of the Brat Pack label on their careers and personal lives. Despite the challenges they faced, McCarthy and his former co-stars, including Demi Moore and Ally Sheedy, share fond memories and rekindle their bond. As '80s nostalgia reaches new heights, McCarthy's documentary offers a poignant look at a bygone era and the lasting legacy of the Brat Pack.
