A Classic Teen Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 1999)

Teen movies such as "Can't Hardly Wait", "Cruel Intentions", and "She's All That" are bigger than ever thanks to stars such as Rachel Leigh Cook, Freddie Prinze jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, just to name a few. Yet before these movies and these stars, there was the 80's brat pack which featured Tom Cruise, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, just to name a few, and movies such as "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", and "Pretty In Pink" caught the attention of teenagers around the world.
The movie I am reviewing right now is "The Breakfast Club". Before I saw this movie, I heard it was excellent, and it was, it really was! And it kind of showed something in which all teenagers should learn, and that is to know each other before they judge each other. In this movie, you have the teen with a very high IQ, the outcast, the athlete, the basket case, and of course, the golden girl. Spending just one Saturday together in the school library together without knowing a thing about each other let them form an everlasting friendship even though they are different from each other in so many ways! And I guess that bond gave them the freedom to open their hearts to each other to search for some understanding, which they did.
This is one of the greatest teen movies ever, and teenagers from both the 80's and the 90's, I think, can not only relate to this movie, but can also easily enjoy it. And from what I've heard, they do really enjoy it! I'm an eighteen year old girl, and I must be honest, I did! :o)
