The Breakfast Club (1985) - John Hughes Strikes Again!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2012)

Written and directed by the late great John Hughes, "The Breakfast Club" is a comedy-drama told through the emotions of five different high schoolers: the nerd, the prom queen, the jock, the goth, and the rebel. The movie takes place on a Saturday in detention, when five kids express their feelings of their every-day life, and how they wish that it can all change one day. "The Breakfast Club" is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can watch this over and over again, and I'm still entertained by what this movie has to offer. John Hughes completely knocked this out of the park, and created his best movie ever made. The talented cast of Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, and Paul Gleason, in a scene-stealing performance as the school principal, is quite perfect in every way, and each performance made these characters look more like real human beings. This is a movie that I bet all audiences will relate to. This movie has consistent laughs, heartwarming messages, and memorable moments. This can give audiences a big reminder about being your own person, and how expressing your feelings can make you a better person. All teen audiences can watch this movie again and again, and they'll totally understand. I'm a fan of well-written teen movies that gives out heartwarming messages, and John Hughes does not forget to deliver. He's the perfect director to bring back the high school past of being a teen, and put it on film in a way nobody has ever done it before. This movie is an entertaining message from the heart, and it's worth watching over and over. "The Breakfast Club", in my review, "an entertaining teen movie, with heartwarming elements".
