Summary: BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GREATEST TEEN COMEDY OF ALL TIME.
Review: Any child or teen of the 1980's (I was born in '82) can tell you just how important and inspiring this film is. I remember being very young and watching it on television with my brother who is six years older. I asked him if the whole movie was going to take place in detention and he said yes. I couldn't believe a movie could make that work, but then I watched and was amazed. Every actor is brilliant, especially Judd Nelson. What a shame that Demi Moore was the only Brat-Packer to become a mega-star...maybe if Rob Lowe wasn't taping his underage sexual exploits things could have worked out differently! Anyway, this movie makes you feel that there is hope for humanity, that young adults of different cliques can become friends...that is until you go through high school and you see how the movies are quite different from reality :) So here's to The Breakfast Club...the greatest teen comedy of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why can't detention be this meaningful and FUN?!
Review: This is one of my favorites. As most people already know, this film is about a group of completely different individuals, all with their own conflicts, who have to share a Saturday in detention together. Basically, they all get to know each other, they talk about their problems, gradually help each other out and become great friends while doing so. This is one of the best films of the 80's, and, in this day and age, if there really MUST be anymore teen films, they need to give them over to John Hughes. He is one of the best.

This movie is superb in every way. Nothing is forced or corny (except for some of the out-dated dancing sequences) but thats about it! The performances are phenomenal, and just about everything else is, too. SEE IT if you haven't seen it already.

Highly recommended!

Summary: Are you sure it was 1985?
Review: This has to be the most bizzare thing! I saw "The Breakfast Club" when I was sixteen, on December 30, 1982. I remember so well because it was the ONLY date I had during my high school years, THE ONLY ONE (and I graduated in 1984)!!! Yet, I keep reading that this movie came out in 1985. Well, no matter, it was the best movie I ever saw. Here we are, some 15-20 years later and people still like it. It was absolutely great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Breakfast Club
Review: Out of all of the BRAT PACK movies, this was one of my favorites. The Breakfast Club is about 5 kids (an athlete, a princess, a nerd, a basket case and a criminal) who are stuck wasting a Saturday for their various reasons. In one Saturday, they all learn something new from each other and also learn a little about themselves.

O.k. first and foremost, the premis of this movie is kinda off (i.e. why are 5 kids actually showing up to Saturday detention?) but if you look past that little part, the rest of the movie is funny as hell. There's just a ton of laughs in this from wise cracks to even some pretty good physical comedy and even a smoking pot scene that's really funny.

I took off a star because Molly Ringwald's character (Claire) is a bit on the annoying side but at least, Judd Nelson is harsh in this movie! And of course Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall and Ally Sheedy weren't bad either.

This is a great hang out film and it's also a bit mooshy at the end for any romantics. Check this one out and also check out FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The way movies are supposed to be made
Review: Of the plethora of teen-based films released in 1985, THE BREAKFAST CLUB stands as one of the best, but it's still not exactly a shining example of the genre. Set in suburban Chicago, the film features five high school students from different social backgrounds who must spend a Saturday sitting in the school library as punishment for various infractions. Estevez, a star wrestler, is the jock; Ringwald portrays a rich, spoiled "princess"; Hall is a nerdy "brain;" Sheedy plays an introverted loner; and Nelson is a rebellious punk. Nelson fixes the library doors so they will remain closed, giving the students a little privacy. Confronting their values head on, with an articulate and sarcastic verbal assault, Nelson works on the others until they slowly begin talking with one another. THE BREAKFAST CLUB, paradoxically, is one of the few teen-oriented films that truly addresses the troubles of its characters, yet it falters in dealing with the issues raised. Director-writer Hughes, though he gives the material a sense of fun and achieves several moments of genuine warmth, too often resorts to obvious cliches, stereotypes, and easy answers, and throws in the near-obligatory rock video as well. His cast, on the other hand, is a fine ensemble that infuses the material with the sense of reality that Hughes's script often misses.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When Cliques Clash
Review: This is probably the only TRUE movie that deals with the different cliques at a high school. It has someone who's rich and popular (Molly Ringwald), someone who's jocky and pressured (Emilio Estevez), someone who's geeky and quiet (Anthony Michael Hall), someone who's tough and abused (Judd Nelson) and someone who's weird and lonely (Ally Sheedy). They spend on Saturday detention with each other and realize that they're not so different from each other. All going through the same problems like teens. This movie is one of the best TEEN movies and should get an award for different ways of expressing the truth of high school. Viva John Hughes!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An All-Time Classic
Review: 'The Breakfast Club' changed the way a movie could be presented.
Think about the plot, 5 different high school kid's: The punk, The jock, The nerd, The princess, and The essentric; all in detention together, sounds pretty boring on paper. But once you have seen the movie, you want to see it 1000 times, and each time you realize why you love this movie even more, it never gets old.

I am only 16 years old, and I have seen this movie 10+ times over the span of 3-4 years. The first tiem I saw this film, I thought it was alright. But as I got more into it, it became something that I get estatic every time I see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic, absolute classic
Review: This movie, while not John Hughes best in my opinion (see Sixteen Candles) Is his best directorial and writing. Molly Ringwald plays the princess, a role she absolutely knocks out of the park. There are a lot of cool moments. You'll laugh, you'll cry (well maybe not) but you will definitely enjoy the movie,..The image is clear and while I have seen better transfers this is definitely above par.

If you love teen flicks with something to say, this is definitely for you.
