Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2016)

The Breakfast Club is one of the definitive teenage coming of age movies with a colourful cast of characters that will be remembered forever. Coming off his directorial debut, Sixteen Candles, John Hughes second effort improves on his first and shows why he is legend at his craft. Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy and Paul Gleason all stand out in the most memorable performances of each of their careers. John Hughes creates five classic characters who are completely different types of people and have no reason to get along, but ultimately become relatable through shared events.
While there are some issues with the ending, The Breakfast Club lives and breathes on John Hughes' great vision and the actors' memorable portrayal of these unforgettable characters.
