Review of The Breakfast Club (1985) by Scott A — 15 Jun 2013

This just one of those very rare perfect films that I doubt anyone could ever make again. The cast is perfection together, and the theme song is one of the best songs from a movie or ever really. Every time I hear that song, you can just see images from this movie, cause it is rare, but not impossible, to sum up the whole movie in a song and they knocked it out of the park.

I like how the film starts with everyone being a cliche, but we learn that not everyone is who they seem. They are vastly different that their image would say they are.

Gleason is just fantastic as the Principal, but all five leads are perfect. They all get time too shine and the story allows them all to grow and develop before the story is over.

But in the end, you have to wonder did they all just bond over this day and go back to the way they use to function in High School, or did they keep their promises?
