This Generation's "Breakfast Club"

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 1999)

I stumbled upon this movie, I had no great intentions of seeing it... but I'm glad I did.
I haven't walked down a high school hall way in over 10 years, yet I found the adolescent inside loving every moment of this movie. I thought the entire cast did a GREAT job, and I'm hoping to see Heath Ledger (did I get that name right?) in more movies to come.
Someone else mentioned this but I have to, HAVE to repeat it just to make sure no one misses it.... WAIT until the credits have rolled, because there are some GREAT out takes at the end of this movie!!!
I don't think, in response to another comment, that "rapping" a Shakespeare poem is wrong for a teacher to do. ANYTHING that will get a new generation hooked to the classics is fine---if you don't think so, watch Mr. Holland's Opus. HE was about strung from the rafters for using Rock N Roll to teach music, and it worked. I wish some of the snoozer teachers I had in school had been that creative (although some of the language the teacher used would NEVER fly in a real school... unless things have drastically changed in 10-15 years!)
