Great movie, a little outdated but worth watching.

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2013)

So, The Breakfast Blub... what can i say. The breakfast club was a 1985 film written and directed by John Hughes starry Molly Ringwald as the sensitive yet independent character Claire. Anthony Michael Hall as the stereo typical 80's nerd, Brian. Emillio Estevez as the high school Jock. Ally Sheedy as the weird, eccentric girl Claire. and Judd Nelson as the total asshole, *cough cough* i mean tough bully with a hard life, John bender.
So what does The Breakfast Club have to offer as a film. Well aside from the cheesy 80's dance scenes, it has a fair amount to offer. Not only is the breakfast club and entertaining film to watch, it is also one of those films you can watch over, and over again, and not get bored. I'm looking at you, The Good ,The Bad and The Ugly. So the film starts with an interesting opening, depicting all the characters and their possible attributes and personalities. Like just by the way Claire is treated in this situation, the situation being that all the teens are to be kept in solitude on a Saturday in school for their own personal reasons. All of which are revealed later on in the film. The teen 'misfits' are all then greeted by the stuck up school principal, Richard Vernon, played by Paul Gleeson, best known for his role in film, die hard as Police chief Dwayne t. Robinson. The kids are then directed into what i can presume is a library or study hall, and told to write an essay on who they are and why they are there. So then begins the next 1 hour and 20 minutes of the most unforgettable films of all time. Oh wait, you wanted a more in depth look at what happens in the film, well to put it simply...
John's a perv, Claire is annoying, Alison likes cereal sandwiches, Andrew has feelings, Brian is a virgin, Carl is well, just Carl... They all get high,a cheesy 80's dance scene, Richard get's annoyed at coffee, John's a bad ass, and they lived happily ever after...
and did you know that the joke john tells while in the ceiling has no punch-line and that he just ad-libbed it on the spot.
But overall, it's a good movie. Okay, in my opinion, it's no stand by me or Shawshank but it rules pretty high. The characters are relatable and the general atmosphere created by them it truly wonderful. It's as if you want the movie to go on see the characters even more and keep on enjoying it but, you know what they say, all good things must come to an end.
My only complaint about the film is the fact that it is outdated a little. In fact, quite a lot outdated. Now i usually stand by a strong rule that true classic movies can never be outdated, like the original King Kong, we have a new one but the old one will, in at least my eyes always remain better. It's an popular opinion, yes but i stand by it. However there is certain trends that usually die out in that certain era, such as happy and innocent rap. I don't think I've seen a rap song that doesn't have swearing in it from around 1999 onward. The breakfast club dwells on it's trendy time period a lot. And i mean a lot... But you could always argue that it was popular then and that's all that matters. But just been warned when going in to this film, there is a lot of it. However, having there will always be a sweet charm in 80's dance music that will never die out. Okay i maybe on my own on that but, i digress, The breakfast club will remain a special place in my heart which only cake and Sporks will fill. one last fact. Did you know that Nicholas Cage was originally cast for the role of John Bender.
