I'm glad they never made the Lunch Bunch Sequel...

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2013)

They were five students with nothing in common, faced with spending a Saturday detention together in their high school library. At 7 a.m.
They had nothing to say, but by 4 p.m., they had bared their souls to each other and become good friends.
To the outside world they were simply the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess and the Basket Case, but to each other, they would always be the Breakfast Club....
The first thing is, if you never saw this film between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, you will not get the what the fuss is all about and that's a damn shame. I saw this for the first time in nearly twenty years, and it didn't have the same impact it did when I was fifteen.
It's simple, but brilliant, and could be Hughes finest hour. All the cast are great, but Nelson and Gleason are the most memorable. They have a great chemistry when they argue, and give the film it's main point of focus.
Ringwald is great too, but this is because she fuses with Judd, and because of his character communicating with her so much, makes her more interesting.
The rest of the cast are good, but are just that bit boring compared to the other three.
It's funny, heartbreaking and tense all in one go, and when you are fifteen, it's life changing and important.
When your thrifty five, it's funny to see the dancing, and how young people look, but not as important as it was.
Saying that, it's a phenomenal movie and the epitome of my favourite decade.
Please Hollywood, never touch this wonderful movie
