What Breakfast?????

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 1999)

When I first heard this movie, I pictured a delicious buffet of bacon and eggs, pancakes, sausage, danish, fresh orange juice, assorted cereals, hash browns, wow was I ambushed. Lukewarm cans of coke and cheap soggy sandwiches were all the food these guys ended up with, and perhaps thats the theme of the film, what looks like treasure is often trash. Breakfast Club (Shouldve been called "High School is Prison") wasn't a bad film, and wouldve been better as an afterschool special if only they allowed F words. I liked the scenes where Judd Nelson tells Molly Ringwald where to stick it, and Carl the clever janitor was a nice touch as well. The film was an accurate depiction of high school's darker side (which too many kids are forced to endure, rather than just get to date cheerleaders and drive expensive cars)and certainly outclassed every other teen movie made since (except maybe for Ferris Bueller's Day Off).
