Unequalled

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 1999)

John Hughes The Breakfast Club remains by far the best of his films. It is unique in that it is the quintessential 80's "teen" movie but it's way more than that - it remains every bit as relevant for today.
There's so much to comment on that I'll keep it short - the film is extremely funny, thought-provoking, poignant, touching. Dialogue throughout is snappy and realistic - Hughes gets the very best out of the cast. What's most impressive is that the whole film revolves 99% of the time around just 5 characters and one location, and yet not for one second does it drag. Who needs special effects or bazillion dollar budgets when characterisation and character interplay are this good?
So if you want to know what's a neo maxi zoom dweebie, go check this movie out - you will not regret it. Watch it. Trust me. Then I bet you 50 bucks you'll be watching it again... and again...
