VHS Movie Reviews of Breakfast Club [VHS]
Movie Review: Breakfast Club DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always loved this movie, a must see for anyone who was in high school in the 80's, and the lessons still hold true today.Movie Review: One of the greatest films in the teen genre
Summary: 5 Stars
You can't call yourself a teenager if you've never seen a John Hughes flick. With this film (his best) he presented a common problem we have (communication) using characters we all don;t understand, teenagers. This film has heart and envokes some deep isssues. The cast is great but Judd Nelson stands out the most. I Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
What more can I say? This is a cult classic, and a must for any movie library.Movie Review: "We're All Different,Some More Than Others"
Summary: 5 Stars
n 1985 a movie named "The Breakfast Club" came out and i don't think anybody expected it would become the hit and have the impact it did.This movie changed the way teen movies were made and set a new standart for them.Even today those movies all owe a little something to this beloved movie.It adresse issues such as stereotypes and teenage anger.It also points out a very strong message and even if the movie is over 20 years old now,it doesn't matter it still is up to date as most of the things that happens still happens in High Schools.There are still nerds,basket cases,princesses,criminals and athletes in each schools and that is precisly what the 4 main characters are,different from the rest.The story is original and is still as good and funny as it was back when it was released.
4 teens are sent to the 8 hours Saturday detention at a Illinois High School in a fictionnal city,for different reasons.John Bender(Judd Nelson),the criminal is sent there because of the false fire alarm he pulled earlier in the week.Andrew Clark(Emilio Estevez),aka the sporto,is there because he tapped ahem,someone's buns togheter.Andrew Johnson(Anthony Michael Hall),the nerd is there because he was caught with that's right,a flair gun in his locker.princess Claire Standish(Molly Ringwald)is there because she skipped class to go shopping(what else?hehe).Allison Reynolds(Ally Sheedy),the weirdo is simply there because she has nothing better to do.Those teens don't have much,if any in common except they all have problems and they all belong to different groups.Of course there is a character that you will relate to more than others,and if you want to know wich one mine was it was probably John Bender as he was the entertaining one.
These 4 teens will troughout the course of the day,learn about each other and try to understand each other and even experiment with things.Paul Anderson as the mean Principal was really convincing and his role was appropriate for this film and there is also the Janitor who has a small role in the movie as well,outside of that there are a few kids's parents in it but that's about it as far as characters goes.The cast for the movie was pretty good with Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez being the ones delivering the best performances in it.Most of the actors in the movie were also part of the brat pack movie that were famous in the 1980s but this was the first and possibly best one.Anyone who was a teen in the 80s has to have seen it,if not well...anyway you can still watch it now anyway.
This movie was defyning for the teen movies that followed it and its a great piece of pop culture used in many television shows(such as Family Guy,The Simpsons,Futurama and many other shows)and others.It even receved an award.The soundtrack was also famous for having the new wave band the Simple Minds's hit "Don't You Forget About Me" wich was aired quite often in the 80s.It is also to note that movie has a good length,doesn't have any scenes that are dragued too long and its captivating.The Director and Writter,John Hughes made some pretty good movies and some of the greatest teen movies ever and this one might be the crowning achievement of his career.Simply put,this is a must see movie and a classic one that nearly everyone can enjoy and i give the highest rating,symbol of excellence a well deseved five stars,I highly recommend The Breakfast club.

Movie Review: Not as good as I remembered..
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to admit I've never been a fan of John Hughes. He's like an icon to many Gen Xers, not necessarily because they all like his films (many don't), but because he was the quinessential 80's teenage comedy man. But this film is probably the most overrated one he ever did. I thought it was good when I first saw it, but it's really tame stuff masquerading as edgy, pointed teen angst. The concept itself could have been interesting (a day's detention with 5 typical high school types, the nerd, the spoiled queen, the druggie, the jock, and the "alternate" chick), and it's surprising that Hollywood greenlighted a film with no real plot like this one (Hughes had major pull in those days). But the execution is really pedestrian. I especially dislike the ending, in which the alternate chick cleans up and ends up with the jock (never happen), and the druggie and the queen together was even more preposterous. It's ridiculous. It completely undermines the entire story of the 5 castes of teenagers. There are a few choice moments (the man who played the principal was quite funny at times), and some of the dialogue is decent, but overall it will mainly be remembered for a nostlagia trip for 80's kids.
