The Breakfast Club
Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

Absolutely Brilliant!
A Masterpiece!
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I feel like the movie should've taken place over multiple Saturdays instead of just one,but it still over all it's a good movie,go watch it if you haven't
To put it in context, im 51 years old. I grew up during the 80;s so maybe Im biased. but I prefer these kind of character driven movies over the crappy Marvel movies produced nowadays. The characters are excellent, the dialog are trustworthy and the setting is perfect. This movie could easily been a caricature but astounding performance of the young actor and excellent direction avoids this trap. it portrays the stereotype characters, the jock, the nerd, the outcast, the pram queen character in a believable context. confined in the library of the school they have to confront each other with the preconceptions they have. and the finale is fantastic. think back to when you where a teenager, all the struggles you had finding your identity, all the existential questions,the intense love and hate feelings. this movie captures this in a fantastic way (without CGI effects)
The Breakfast ClubAs much as powerful the screenplay is, John Hughes's attempt to install cheesy and petty inputs in characters to attract younger audience wears down the intensity and gravitas that it had created that easily would have helped it enter the major league. His directorial work is appreciative but deserved a better supervision compared to its script. The performance wasn't up to the mark which is the only thing that itches one down the throat in this old classic. The Breakfast Club is a typical teenage movie retold in the most intriguing way that it is almost impossible not to invest in it and be moved by it (no matter how much familiar their tales may sound but the impact doesn't grow shallow at all).
The movie is one of the best movie I've ever watched! Its cast was chosen perfectly. They reflect their characters very well. Movie criticizes the same type of people who want to get in a stereotype groups. So movie displays this situation. You can feel 80s atmosphere from their clothes and music that they used. Songs were perfect and dance scene was fun. Smoking scene was pretty good but final scene was the best! "DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME!!" The best teenager movie so far.
