The criminal, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the brain in The Breakfast Club. Rating: 4/4 stars. We all know school could either be a time of fun or pure hell. IT's especially hell if youre a victim of a stereotype which what all five of these kids are by their nicknames listed above. The only thing all five have in common is that they share a room for an entire Saturday because of some bad thing they did. It's eight hours with people that go to the same school, but simultaneously are completely different because of their social standing in school. But they come out with a life changing expierence. Its absolutely a feel good movie and a movie that no one can hate. It's Saturday March 24, 1984 at Shermer High School in Shermer, IL which is where five teens need to spend their entire day. Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez), Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald), John Bender (Judd Nelson), Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), and Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) are the victims and although go to the same school, they are all from different cliques or groups in the school. They are secluded in the school library from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, they can't talk, they can only sit and think about what they've done, and write their 1,000 word essay. They are occasionally visited by Principal Vernon (Paul Gleason). Though when he isn't in the room, they do the exact opposite of what they are supposed to. As time passes the kids learn about one another and know they each have a struggle to overcome and they need to rise above their stereotype. By looking at these kids you can tell who is who. Stereotypes have been around forever and though most are true can be hurtful and humorous. This film focusses and says to look past your stereotype and be who you can be. Let people see you as they want to see you. In my opinion the most deepest and heartfelt John Hughes film to date. Some kids my age would think it's a boring, lackluster film that isn't funny. I find it extremely fun and it only gets funnier everytime you watch it. The movie is more than half dialogue which is why kids would be bored by it. But what else is there to do in detention on a Saturday? A kids moral to the film is be yourself, look past your bad quality, pick out the positives, and be who you are. A teacher's moral should be when you place five high school students in a room and expect them to keep quiet for eight hours, they will talk eventually. Starring: Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, and Paul Gleason. Directed by: John Hughes.

i disagree that kids your age would think it's boring, unfunny, ect.... During high school, we watched this movie at our freshmen retreat and everybody loved it and thought it was hilarious. It's still relatable today, but some of the music is outdated and would be considered "lame" by kids your age

I was in 8th grade (moving on to Freshman this year), most kids who saw the film say its boring and is stupid. Which leads me to get in an argument about it.

Ask them what they think is good and then give me their answers.
I'll run their ignorant, idiotic asses through the ringer. Then, you can study what I said and spit it back to them.

I wont see them probably ever again, but they would say "its a piece of shit", "its gay", "it made no sense". They said like the mormon vampire series Twilight beats it and The Hangover is way funnier. Shit like that.

Shit like that. you shouldn't let boys talk shit about TBC when they like twilight. the hangover is hilarious though
