Spend not just breakfast, but a day with this club

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2014)

This is John Hughes other baby. The other one, you may ask is Sixteen Candles. Here, honestly is a movie that's better than you think it is, you could actually beat yourself on the head, when not seeing it at the movies. A score of students are spending a Saturday detention, each character vastly different from the next. By the end of the day, they have bonded together, accepted each other for who they are, faced their fears and truths. That is a what a good movie. Over the course of the day we have a real a..ehole of a take no s..t principal, wonderfully played by Paul Gleeson. Watching him get riled by Bender (Judd Nelson, the standout performance in this, which honestly has you mystified as to why he never received more acting nominations during his career) is just too much fun. The actor's conversations, issues, whatever, become absolutely mesmerizing to the audience, we wanna feel part of the group. By the end of the day, one detentionee, a basket case as you will, has made a total transformation, another great performance here. Even the janitor is made interesting, popping up here and there, one piece of dialogue he delivers to Gleason, regarding these teens, stays with me. Truly this film is an aphrodisiac for movie buffs. Don't up pass this movie. As well as showcasing Judd Nelson's top of the line performance as our wonderful rebellious delinquent, Bender, It will have you cheering or giving cause to re watch. Probably Hughes's best film ever.
