A great teen movie

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 1999)

"The Breakfast Club" is one of the great teen movies of the movies. John Hughes is an underrated director. His films all seem to have their own followings. This film however is one of his best. It explores the relationship and lives of five stereotypical high school students spending Saturday school together in the school's library. Molly Ringwald is well cast here in an early role as well as her co-star from "Sixteen Candles", Anthony Michael Hall. They are both good. Judd Nelson shines as John Bender, the rebel of the group and Ally Sheedy is excellent as the shy girl. Emilio Estevez is also believeable in his role as well. Overall this movie is full of wit and humor. Overall Grade: B+
