What happens when five strangers end up together in Saturday detention? Badass
posturing, gleeful misbehavior, and a potent dose of angst. With this
exuberant, disarmingly candid film, writer-director John Hughes established himself as the bard of American youth,
vividly and empathetically capturing how teenagers hang out, act up, and goof
off. The Breakfast Club brings together an assortment of
adolescent archetypes—the uptight popular girl (Molly Ringwald), the stoic jock (Emilio Estevez), the foulmouthed rebel (Judd Nelson), the virginal bookworm (Anthony Michael Hall), and the kooky recluse (Ally Sheedy)—and watches them shed their personae and emerge into
unlikely friendships. With its highly quotable dialogue and star-making
performances, this exploration of the trials of adolescence became an
era-defining pop-culture phenomenon, one whose influence now spans generations.
(USA, 1985, 97 mins, R, English | Dir.
John Hughes)
