Great but not perfect

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2017)

(Sorry for my English, I'm German) The breakfast club is not a perfect movie to me. It is kind of predictable, the fact, that Andrew gets together with Allison just because she looks pretty now ruins a part of the message. The acting is good, but sometimes kind of overacted (but I think it is part of the style of the movie). But what makes the movie so enjoyable for me are the excellent written characters and the way they are presented. At first, there is the introduction, (kind of) the exposition. Different (stereo)types of people are described. And the 5 main characters are perfectly fitting into these types. But as the movie goes on, it challenges you to overthink it. Every character breaks out of his role and when you are almost sure, everÃ½ character tells the reason why he is there and gives the character a touching background. (Making you being sure in your thesis) Added to that, the whole group starts to like each other, even though they didn't like each other in the first place. That shows you can not judge people by the first impression. Moreover you shouldn't just separate people into different types (stereotyped thinking), and that's it with learning more of each other. The whole story is full of funny, smart and characterizing dialogue, which I also love. There are two things I wanna say about the ending: 1. I don't like Andrew and Allison getting together at the end, just because she looks pretty now. Because it is said that you should not judge one by his outter appearance. And Andrew is totally doing that at the end. 2. Am I the only one thinking about John being an undercover agent who was just there to teach everybody the lesson they all learn eventually? Because at the end he holds his arm in the air like he did something incredible (Ok it could be because of the nice day he had but maybeeeeee) However, very good movie because of the outstanding characters, message and dialogue, even if you kinda know after the first 5 minutes where the whole thing is going. 8.3/10
