Pros: great depiction of high-school cliques & personalities Cons: somewhat cardboard characters
All right, which one did you think was you? Can you admit it? I don't think anyone who watched this movie - especially if you were a teen in the 80's - could come away from it without seeing a little bit of themselves in it. John Hughes has an ...
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: 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: Characters, Performances, Dialogue, Music Cons: None
“...And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They’re quite aware of what they’re going through...” (David Bowie)
Pros: Story everyone can relate to, excellent character development, localized theme, great soundtrack Cons: Cons? Where??
Before I attempt to pass off this rambling as a legit review, I urge you to check out all the other great reviews involved in this Chicago Movie Write Off, hosted by her highness, levda. Take a few minutes to check out these bad-ass authors'...
Pros: Wonderful actors. Great character development. Cons: The ending.
What happens when people stop being polite and start being real? This is the opening line to MTV?s hit show The Real World. This colorful show has been a staple for MTV viewers since 1992. The show consists of seven strangers who are...
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: A Journey of Teens and their Self-discovery. Cons: Weak final scenes tended to trivalize the important messages.
When I review a movie, I either really like it or I really don’t. That’s why I don’t review many movies. Most movies or videos that I view fall somewhere in between. So if they are only an “OK” movie, I can’t find the words to express it and I can’t...
Pros: well acted. Cons: bad script. shallow and predictable.
The Breakfast Club was one of those movies that everyone else around me really enjoyed back when it came out and I, for whatever reason, watched it and thought "Am I missing something?" Years later, I still have friends who count this among their top ten...
Pros: great 'slice of life' comedy Cons: a bit dated now.
Chicago Film WO: The Breakfast Club
It’s Saturday morning. It’s early, so early that the dew is still on the grass and the newspaper boys are out on their routes. The fog still hasn’t burnt off before another bright day. And 5...
Pros: nice performances by most of the "brat pack" Cons: creaky premise; teacher is a one-dimensional boob; pat ending
Breakfast Club (1985) hasn't held up well over the years, despite the fact that many people still claim to love it. If you browse through the list of Epinions here, you'll find a lot of overly lavish praise and the average rating is a ...
Pros: Accurate depiction of high school society, great dialogue. Cons: Some dated bits, a few over-the-top moments.
In looking over John Hughes resume as a writer-director, it's obvious why it's easy to forget that he was once one of the better writer-director's in Hollywood. For the past decade he has largely been coasting, giving us crap like Flubber, 101 Dalmatians...
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: 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, ...
