No breakfast involved :(

Rating: 4/10 (30 November 2018)

Very disappointed by this so called "classic" film, definitely overrated. Basically it was five young adults crying about who's life is harder while stuck in the same room for almost 2 hours of my life. WASTED. The stereotypes were so exaggerated it was comical. Don't bother if you wanted to know where the famous fist-pump moment came from, skip to the last 5 irrelevant seconds, it isn't even significant like wtf. The four stars were for the only mildly relatable character, being the wonderful teacher who dedicated his Saturday to disciplining troubled teenagers who can't hold it together. He was the most interesting and complpex character by far because his whole life wasn't explained in mumblejumble in its entirety. He also had problems of his own but he handled them like an adult and never gave up on his principles, showing them a good example. The problems the kids had were so surface level and basic honestly without any back story they came off meaningless and boring, we don't even care about these characters yet and their already trying to earn sympathy points with suicide cards and my dad beats me cards. Very lazy. I was expecting at the very least some morals but it turned out to be 5 kids complain about their lives in a library for 2 hours and then go home happy. It was confusing and unsatisfying because there WERE NO RESOLUTIONS?? what was the point. If you're going to make a basic highschool movie about stereotypical groups clashing together all cheesy at least change it up a bit and make it interesting or something. They weren't even allowed to eat in the cafeteria ffs. Train of thought idk. It was so straight forward, nothing left to the imagination. I suggest reading the movie description and saving 2 hours of your life because the movie doesn't offer much more than the synopsis honestly, even the visual aspects are insanely boring. Pretty much the same room for the entire movie, same lighting, same characters, same everything. I usually enjoy watching bad movies even if they're classics but I don't know if The Breakfast Club is even worth it. Essentially the moral is "you can't tell us who we are" so Basically "don't judge a book by it's cover" because the popular girl is stressed out and the straight A student is suicidal and The bad boy has feelings... need I go on?? Such a surface level movie.
