Andrew McCarthy's documentary "Brats," delves into the world of the iconic '80s "Brat Pack" stars, but notably missing from the film is Molly Ringwald. Despite her absence, McCarthy sheds light on the reasons why she declined to participate in the project. The documentary captures the candid conversations between McCarthy and other members of the Brat Pack, including Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Demi Moore. Ringwald's decision to stay out of the documentary was influenced by feeling limited by the Brat Pack label in her early career. Despite her absence from the documentary, Ringwald has seen continued success in various acting projects outside of the '80s teen movie genre. McCarthy's attempt to reach out to all former peers was obstructed by logistical challenges, but his documentary provides a nostalgic look at the heyday of the Brat Pack era.
