'The Breakfast Club' is extremely good, entirely thanks to its fantastic cast who produce tremendous performances.
Judd Nelson typifies that statement, he brings everything to the role of John which makes you feel for him despite his indiscretions. Ally Sheedy is also great, as she plays Allison - I already knew of her from 'Short Circuit' and 'WarGames', she's done some solid stuff. Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and Anthony Michael Hall all add heart and meaning with their characters.
Other than the on-screen talent, it isn't really that great a production in all honesty. The message is brilliant and it deserves the plaudits it gets, but take away Nelson, Sheedy & Co. and it's a much, much weaker film.
