A film about teenagers not just a film with teenagers

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2004)

Breakfast Club is about 5 kids who get thrown into detention and over the coarse of the day become friends.We see them first as they are seen by the world,as a brain,an athlete,a basketcase,a princess and a criminal, and they act as you would expect those types of people to,at first.As the day goes on they talk more and bond and share their fears and problems with their fellow inmates.At the end of the day,they go home,leaving us to wonder what would be instore for them on Monday as a result of this experience.There are some odd bits with the dance scene(probably put in to ease the tension)and Ally Sheedy's character getting made over,but it's still enjoyable.A great film with a great message:that everyone has problems and that just because people aren't like you doesn't mean you should give up on them.
