The Best After School Special

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2003)

THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985) *** Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Paul Gleason. Excellent comedy from writer/director John Hughes about a group of high school kids held on a Saturday detention ordered to write an essay about themselves. Instead they get a life lesson in finding out about each other and not as their clique/classification : a jock, nerd, rebel, princess and basket case. Fine acting and some very funny moments between the vulnerability of teen angst. **Personal note: I fell in love with Sheedy in this film. Oh momma when she gets her makeover!!
