5 teen kids, one nasty principal, one good movie

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2000)

"The Breakfast Club" is a fine drama of 5 high school kids, who have nothing in common with each other, but find the right solace together through deep trust and judgement. Emilio
Estevez is Andrew, the jock, Anthony Michael Hall is Brian, the
nerd, Ally Sheedy is Allison, the outcast, Judd Nelson is John, the punk, and Molly Ringwald is Claire, the stuck-up. Each kid has different categories in personality, and that clashes with one another because one doesn't agree that another can fit into the world. But how are they to argue if one isn't the same as
the next person?
The cast, which is consisted of half of the famed "Brat Pack," (minus Charlie Sheen and Demi Moore), is great and bonafide.
Nelson and Sheedy provide the best performances, because they
totally unique kids, not the kind that would be part of an in- crowd. Paul Gleason does his typical nasty turn as Vernon, the jerk principal. If you think Gleason's role in this movie
was rough, check out his police chief in "Die Hard!" You'd like to punch the snot out of the guy!
