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.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
When I saw this for the first time, I saw it twice in the same day! I love The Breakfast Club so much! In fact, watching it twice in one day made it my favorite movie for a brief while! The movie is pretty much just kids in detention talking about their lives but its so entertaining in that way. Today you need action to entertain people. In 1985, all you needed was speech. (The same year, a documentary called Shoah released and it was just 9.5 hours of interviews from Holocaust witnesses and survivors.!)That's where the magic of this movie clicks. That's why it earns a 10.
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
The movie has a deep meaning, but I also enjoyed the special kind of humor. It's unlike any movie I've ever seen. It has a perfect balance of emotions. The scenes that are dramatic move slow enough to let the struggle and the emotions of the characters touch you. Then the humor makes it not too heavy to watch.The actors did a wonderful job, the movie is fun to watch and it's simply a must see movie!
The movie is about five different teenagers - 'a brain...and an athlete... and a basket case...a princess...and a criminal' who are locked up together for a day of detention. I won't lie, this sounded like a boring movie to me but I watched it anyway to 'culture' myself on iconic movies of the '80s... or something.I'd heard that this movie really got teenagers, and maybe it did at the time but the characters don't really hold up as much as they might have in the '80s. The protagonists are clear-cut clichés of the cliques that usually exist in Hollywood's stereotyped high-school movies, these kind of social groups don't really exist anymore (if they did at all); nowadays the athletes hang out with the brains, the princesses hang out with the basket cases and the criminals... I don't know who they hang out with but the point I'm making is that I don't think a modern teenager can really relate to the teens in this movie. Saying that, the main point that the movie grapples with is exactly what I just said - that brains, athletes, princesses, basket cases and criminals can and should be friends but I feel that this argument is now about a decade too late to relate to which sometimes makes the teenagers feel somewhat 'alien' to me.The one thing that I really thought the movie got right was the actors, they're really excellent and spoke authentically about the universal experience of being a teenager (minus the weird cliques). They were the focus of the movie and carried it well until the end, listening to their stories and watching them form friendships was fun to watch and there was enough humour and quiet moments for you to just start to unravel the personalities of the five lead characters which, in my opinion, makes the movie interesting enough to watch.
