One of those films

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2002)

Well Ive read most of the comments about the Breakfast club, good and bad. Its one of those hated or loved movies, i guess. If its any measure of how i feel about it, then i will say its the only film ive ever went out my way to watch again. Ok, it has its flaws, i dont like the scene where Emilio Estevez shouts so loud that the glass on the door breaks - it almost turns the film into a spoof and outdoes the good work leading up. But nothing is black and white, in life and in the movies and i think that the Breakfast Club overall is a fantastic movie. It is a credit to the film that it appeals internationally and that it can mean so much to so many. Its a very eighties film, tho, still relevant to this day , perhaps, i could be wrong but unless high school has undergone a remarkable transformation it still appeals. Judd Nelson has the best lines, Molly Ringwald looks pretty but she aint wearing pink, Emillio Estevez is more concerned about tomorows wrestling meet,Anthony Michael Hall is analysing the whole situation in a scientific sense- yet cant still make sense of it all and Ally Sheedy is just there - cos she has nothing better to do. Watch it it encapsulates the decade, but more so the emotions, stereotypes and indeed the teen angst that we all go through.
