The Best Film Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2018)

I love "The Breakfast Club" in fact, it's my favorite film of all time. It's simple on the outside but complex the further you go into it just like the characters. It's about 5 teens of 5 stereotypes Criminal, Jock, Nerd, Princess, and Basket-case, who are stuck in detention for a full 8 hours on a Saturday being watched over by an asshole of a principal and a janitor who knows them a little too well. So, why is it good? It sets up a simple story with simple characters who have hidden motives and character traits that unravel in an extremely enjoyable 95 minutes full of heart, and humor that isn't too long or too short. The acting from everyone is every bit as hilarious as it is heartbreaking while we learn about their character and backstory of abuse and crappy home lives outside of their school persona's. John Hughes' directing and writing is as quirky, awkward, dramatic, hormonal, angry, funny, and depressing as high school itself making you cheer for these characters whether they be playing their type or expressing their true selves with a moral of don't judge a book by it's cover. 10\10.
