The Breakfast Club is an emotional trip and I didn't want it to end

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2003)

Like voyeurs we watch a group of teenage misfits as they anxiously spar and bond during detention. By the end you get a sense they've aged. This is a brilliant film disguised as a teen flick. It's intelligent, well written and goofy. The Breakfast Club is more than the sum of its parts, which is saying a lot given its stars were 80s teen royalty. It may not be perfect, but it's perfect enough. 9/10
