Breakfast Club

Pros: Great storyline, humorous at times
Cons: Stereotypes are too dramatic

Ever since the classic 80s movie The Breakfast Club was released in 1985, it has been considered an instant classic. The basic plot of the movie is that there are 5 teenagers in high school, all belonging to different social cliques. They all, for some ...

Pros: Funny and well acted.
Cons:

John Hughes' slight propensity for telegraphed melodrama.

Written and Directed By John HughesEmilio Estevez (Andrew Clark)Anthony Michael Hall (Brian Johnson)Molly Ringwald (Claire Standish)Judd Nelson (John Bender)Ally Sheedy (Allison Reynolds)Paul Gleason ...

Pros: good cast, good characterization, entertaining
Cons: hard to believe, pot smoking, profanity

I decided to watch The Breakfast Club because the VHS tape was only 50 cents at a yard sale, and because Molly Ringwald is in it. Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson are also worth watching. In fact, the entire cast is very good. It was made in ...

Pros: Mostly entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Some things not as believable.

John Hughes made a name for himself by making movies about teenagers that were hugely successful and entertaining. I have seen and enjoyed many of them over the years. I just watched The Breakfast Club< b>< i> again. Five different ...

Pros: Lots of good lessons and funny humor
Cons: None!

My high school could've severely used a breakfast club. The movie teaches you about accepting peoples' differences and there's more to people than just what is presented on the outside. This lesson is a very important one for life. The movie itself ...

Pros: A real classic and good for any age.
Cons: A little slow storyline not to exciting.

This really was a good movie for the mid 1980's but for me nowadays it is just a little slow and a little boring especially since I have seen it so many times. It's basically about teenage high schoolers that get detention and have sit in the library all ...

Pros: A surprisingly brilliant depiction of the trappings of high school
Cons: None

I still remember the first time I saw it. I was in my pre-teens, and it seemed like everyone was talking about it. This cool, hip movie that seemed to capture the essence of high school. Though I wasn't yet in high school myself, and I saw the movie ...

Pros: great cast, very "real" story, Hughes at his best, funny and exciting
Cons: none

Many say that Director John Hughes created the genre of film dealing with the angst that kids feel at school on a daily basis. Sure there will films like Rebel Without a Cause and American Graffiti before Hughes came along, but with his three films of ...

Pros: Great cast, very real. Funny.
Cons: Bit slow at times but other than that brilliant.

The title of my review being one of my favourite quotes ever, brilliantly delivered by a 26 year old (I had no idea) Judd Nelson. I watched this movie for the first time at about half 1 in the morning. I am yet to figure out why they would put it on ...

Pros: Funny, insightful movie
Cons: We never get to hear the punchline to Bender's joke...

[Personal note: While talking recently with a friend, I caught myself dropping a line from "The Breakfast Club", (one of many memorable lines that have managed to stay in my head for the last 20 years). When she seemed to have missed the reference, I ...

Pros: It's very well acted, one of the many perfect movies of any century.
Cons: If there is some, it's nothing major.

The Breakfast Club is one of the greatest movies ever to be made. Why? Because the movie is a pure definition of a "cult classic". The story isn't exactly "cult classic" material--uh wait, it is! 5 [complete strangers] students are sent to a ...

Pros: The performances and monologues. Hell, it's pretty funny, too.
Cons: It's horribly cliche'd.

It's hard for incredibly happy/content people like myself to quite completely understand The Breakfast Club. Or maybe it's just hard for me; I don't know. Being the happiest person in the world (TM) isn't always easy, you know. But really, ...

Pros: Directing, acting, screenplay.
Cons: Some of the dialogue is a bit dated.

The caste system is not unique to India. Caste systems, however subtle, exist in almost every culture and subculture in the world, and high school is no exception. Once everybody is appropriately labeled, this is high school according to John Hughes: ...

Pros: None
Cons: Dull, tedious, arduous, cheesy, dated, pretentious and sadly overrated by millions

Plot:Annoyingly arrogant teens discuss each others lives while in detention in a predictible farce. A group of teenagers get dropped off at detention by their parents at 7am. They start off arrogant and rebelious. Each of them questions why on earth ...

Pros: read the review
Cons: read the review

"The Breakfast Club" is a film that is obvious in its intention to make a statement about the caste system between teenagers, but it does so in a funny and enjoyable way. The film has a substantial amount of sympathy because the characters are realistic ...
