If it weren't for the ending

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2019)

I'm a 39 year old child of the '80's that just sat down to watch The Breakfast Club for the first time this weekend.
I found myself pleasantly enjoying this flick. It's actually a cool plot to bring five high schoolers with very different backgrounds and interests together in a Saturday detention setting. I remember serving detention after school once in middle school and it put me in a room full of not only kids from various grades but kids I wouldn't have normally hung out with at all. This plot idea made sense to me.
Anthony Michael Hall was in his prime and was just great, for the most part. Judd Nelson is one of the most believable jerks in the history of cinema. The others play their parts extremely well.
I just think the falling in love thing at the end (after 8 hours) was too silly for me. The ending felt forced. Otherwise this was a good time had.
