A hilarious and terrifically cast high school movie that brings back memories!

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2018)

The Breakfast Club is easily one of the best movies released during the 1980s. It beautifully captures the perks and downsides (mostly) of student's lives outside of high school. Even though, the movie was only set in a contained environment aka school, the teenagers who were in detention talked about their experiences at home. These teenagers were categorized as a princess, an athlete, a criminal, a brainy and a basket case (recluse). They were all forced to attend detention and sacrifice their Saturday. Out of all the characters I resemble myself the most with Allison aka the basket case.
As someone who has never lived in the United States or went to an American school, it was extremely interesting and intriguing to see how American schools operate and what kind of regulations they have. When I went to high school (which is not that long ago) there was detention, but not on Saturdays. Of course some aspects of the movie are over exaggerated, but what high school movie isn't. Even today, these kinds of movies are over exaggerated and are made more appealing to the public.
The writing and acting was surprisingly well done. From such young actors (at that time) I did not expect such a terrific performance. Molly Ringwald was amazing and stunning. She was without a doubt the star of the movie. Actually all of the actors exceeded my expectations and made me laugh.
The Breakfast Club was an absolute delight to watch. It is so interesting to watch it now in 2018 and think about how life must have been 33 years ago. How the characters dressed in the movie is so different to how they dress now. I wish that I had a time machine and watch this movie in 1985 when it was first released and see people's reactions back then. That would be amazing.
