Be who you are, don't follow anyone. One of the best teen movies ever

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2017)

Five high school kids get detention on a Saturday by their principle Vernon and asks them to write a 1000 page essay on who they are and this makes for one of the best coming of age stories and high school movies ever.
So, john Hughes is the writer director of this movie and he is really great in making movies about just a single day in a characters life. The characters from exterior are pretty different from one another but as the movie goes on you realize that they each face the same insecurities , complexes and pressures that are associated with a high school student.
So, Claire(Molly Ringwald) and Andrew(Emilio Estevez) are your typical rich popular kids who the other kids look up to. Brian(Anthony Hall) is scholar nerd. Allison(Ally Sheedy) is a weird girl and last but not the least John Bender(Judd Nelson) is the rebellious kid who is a brat but also is brutally honest.
The kids meet each other for the first time and they right from the start are not getting along. But their hatred towards the Principle brings them to talking terms. As they go through the day they start to grow on each other.
The best scene of the movie is when they are all sitting together and they reveal the reasons why they are in detention. It makes you think that no matter how they portray themselves all are somewhat same having the same problems. I think the main message of the movie is to let go of what people think of you and also and to be who you are no matter what your friends think of you about who you hang out with and what you do.
The breakfast club is one of the best movies i have seen which deals with teen issues in a very real but entertaining way. Do check it out guys.
