Nobody gets locked in Target anymore and it’s disappointing.

Maybe it's time to lock every one in big supermarkets at night and see how everyone react. Open them up in the morning.

I love this film so much!!!

Sadly, i don't.

Anything with Jennifer Connelly!

I’m convinced bro is just horny 24/7 but also happens to be a cinephile

Being a Fellini & Bergman fan does that to people :)

Have you seen Labrynith? You look like Jennifer's twin. 😋

Loved John Candy's cameo ❤️

Career Opportunities is a charming '90s rom-com that perfectly captures youthful misadventures! 🎬💕

2/3 The standee for "Career Opportunities," the new teen comedy from the pen of John Hughes, features the genuinely ravishing Jennifer Connelly, who costars with the instantly forgettable Frank Whaley, sitting astride a mechanical rocking horse,

This one and opportunity knocks

Is that film or ??

@shabbirusama66 not a great movie, but its fun.

This is how they get to the top. It's like a pervert that's been doing something wrong for so long that it's normalized, now he flaunts it openly unafraid of any consequences. It's impossible to get away from the darkness in peoples hearts.

1/3 ‘Career Opportunities’ By Hal Hinson Washington Post Staff Writer April 01, 1991 In the movie business, there is such a thing as a standee. It's a cardboard display -- think of it as a three-dimensional poster -- that's placed in a theater lobby to advertise a current film.

3/3 ...her back slightly arched, dressed in a form-fitting white tank top and tight black jeans. Some standees move; this one rocks back and forth, gently, suggestively. Jennifer Connelly is very easy to look at. "Career Opportunities" isn't. Go see the standee.
