A Masterpiece!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2014)

The Breakfast Club is perhaps the best high school drama of all time. With every typical character from high school, "jock", "princess", "loner", "nerd", "criminal", etc. we're able to see how each high school stereotype affects each other when locked up in one room for a Saturday of detention.
John Bender becomes the unlikely leader of the pack, as he's got the most knowledge of the streets. He's also got a big bag of marijuana that they end up smoking together. By the end of the movie all the characters, which were once alienated from each other, become close friends. They feel good about their new friendships and leave their detention sessions with a fresh and optimistic feeling about themselves and their peers.
It's amazing how to this day this movie still holds gravity and relevance nearly 25 years later. The darker and heavier themes of alienation and teen apathy give this movie an extra level of importance in comparison to it's contemporaries like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, and Pretty In Pink. An absolute must see for every movie lover!
