Breakfast Club, The
Quintessential 1980s teen fare from John Hughes, with the Brat Pack mulling over the meaning of life one Saturday morning detention
The trials of adolescence never took up more screen time than in the in mid-1980s, when the teenagers dominated film for better (Fast Times At Ridgemont High) or worse (Porky's). And as every New Wave must have its Jean-Luc Godard, so John Hughes stepped into the frame as the decade's auteur of US high school flicks that never lost sight of the humour of being a teenager, nor how serious it all seems at the time.
The Breakfast Club doesn't exactly push the parameters of filmmaking. In fact the whole thing could, and has been, transposed to the stage. It follows a group of five disparate teens as they're for...
I'm 18 years old

The girls patently outshine the boys, but each manages to breathe a insufficient dash into their essentially clichéd characters.

The trials of adolescence never took up more small screen time than in the in mid-1980s, when the teenagers dominated film representing mastery (Tightly Times At Ridgemont High) or worse (Porky's). And as every Revitalized Wave must bear its Jean-Luc Godard, so John Hughes stepped into the frame as the decade's auteur of US squiffed dogma flicks that never missing sight of the humour of being a juvenile, nor how serious it all seems at the ease. The Breakfast Club doesn't absolutely push the parameters of filmmaking. In low-down the whole clothing could, and has been, transposed to the stage. It follows a group of five disparate teens as they're forced to endure each other's company during Saturday internment. There's the jock (Estevez), ...
