Don't understand the hype

Rating: 3/10 (2 March 2019)

Despite having experienced enough high school detentions to last me a lifetime, The Breakfast Club was completely lost on me. Sorry in advance - I know this might be an unpopular opinion of a film regarded by many as a "classic".
I couldn't relate to this film and found it overwhelmingly uneventful and monotonous.
Perhaps it was a combination of things:

The 1980s

American high school

The ability to bring a gun to school

The fact they had an unbelievable amount of freedom while on detention

Despite being born in '89, none of those things were relatable to me. The characters were well developed, but the storyline? Not so much. I felt like nothing really happened. Occasionally a random music break would wake me up.
These critiques are not even touching on the fact The Breakfast Club is riddled with sexual harrassment and homophobia throughout. This is not a film that has translated well into 2019.
All I can say is thank god for John Hughes giving us Home Alone and Ferris Bueller to make up for this boring mess.
