The movie that made detention and high school a little cooler

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

I really did enjoy "The Breakfast Club", and I can truly agree with people that this is a classic. There is a main reason why I liked this movie and it's not because of the acting or the way it was made.
I'm a high school graduate(Class of 2003), and after high school you really take a look at what your years were like. Were you a jock, cheerleader, nerd, weirdo, junkie, party girl/boy, pretty, ugly, skinny, fat...? It goes on and on. Either one of these roles we were in high school and we did get harassed at least once by someone and all you could think was "Why me?". This movie helps point out what the problems were, everyone has their own problems and pressures and take it out on other people. While the kid who pulled a knife on you might go home and have his father beat him almost to death. The nerd you knocked the books out of their hands, might go home to parents who are pressuring them to get the best grades they can and put their social life behind. It continues and high school is always going to be like that, sorry to those who are still in school.
"What will happen?" "You mean on Monday?" They whole time during that monologue between the kids at the end, I kept on thinking, and they'll go back to their regular lives afterwards.
I will always recommend "The Breakfast Club", because you will have a true taste of what high school is like.
9/10
