Movie Review - The Breakfast Club

Clearly this was made on either a really low budget or no money at all. Everyone raves about how brilliant it is and how "of the time" it is. The film is awful. Nothing happens. In hardly any locations. The film must have cost about $10 to make? The budget most likely went on the soundtrack artists.

There is little to no plot. It's a basic idea of bringing together people from all walks of life to see how they differ and eventually find common ground. Judd Nelson looks like he's about 30 in this, all the rest look just about old enough to be at High School/College. Ally Sheedy is totally miscast as the loner and crazy chick. All the roles she's had since were all good girl roles. Molly Ringwald seems to have always been cast as a whiner in John Huges films.

Nothing happens in this film. Sitting in the library, running in a few corridors and a ton of really dull dialogue to get to an obvious conclusion - they find some common ground. No shock there then. It might have been an interesting movie when it was made but its a pile of garbage now. Only the music gives any relief from the awful and DULL script.
Best avoided now.
