I wish i grew up in 80's America, and this is one of the resons to that. This film watches a weekend detention in one high school, with some unlikely characters participating in. They are all different from each over, and start off hating the rest. However a whole day together and they find that first impressions are not always as they seem. Story wise i didn't find anything amazing about this. However when you watch it its hard to not want to be apart of it. The acting is good, along with the music. There are probably a lot of iconic statements and messages that i don't get in this, however i still find it amusing and enjoyable. It's one ...  Read the complete review

The Breakfast Club is one of those 80s cult classics directed by the late and great John Hughes. Scripting some of my favourite films of all time including movies such as Ferris Buellers Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and Home Alone, John Hughes epitomises the 80's and I know when first watching the Breakfast Club that I would not be let down. John Hughes uses many of the Actors/Actresses that were part of the infamous Brat pack that he himself made famous, a collection of actors and actresses that featured in many films in the 1980's. Molly Ringwald and Emilio Estevez being firm favourites. Following on from his trend of High School ...  Read the complete review

The Breakfast club is a famous teen movie from the the 1980's that is now a cult classic. Teen movies have changed throughout the years really as far as how they are protrayed. In the 1960's you had movies that had lots of fun and jumping about with no sex normally. Then in the 1970's there was the horror movie trend where teenagers would be slaughtered. However, in 1985 The Breakfast Club revolutionized the teen genre by showing teens as they really speak and think. Five very different teenagers are all subjected to a Saturday afternoon detention for various reasons. Despite their differences at the start of the day, throughout the movie they form a bond with ...  Read the complete review

The Breakfast Club is the kind of film I wish I had written. You ever get that? Something comes along… a film… a book… a song..., and as well as just liking it, you really wish you had came up with the idea in the first place, not because you want the fame or money, just because it is so… indefinably… brilliant. So ‘you’. I get that inkling whenever I watch a Kevin Smith film. The Breakfast Club has similar qualities. Easy, to systematically tear-apart at the hands of a cynic, yet somehow so compelling, despite it’s glaring flaws and weaknesses. The best films, or at least my favourite films, are technical under-dogs  Read the complete review
