Saturday Detention, Lifetime Sentence - The Breakfast Club review by griggs
Hard to say anything new about The Breakfast Club, so I won’t pretend otherwise. Five teenagers in Saturday detention, a John Hughes script sharp enough to cut glass, and a premise that ought to feel trapped in the 1980s but still lands.
Hughes gives each archetype room to split open — the jock, the princess, the brain, the criminal, the basket case — and what spills out is messier and more human than any of them expected. Judd Nelson chews the scenery and earns every bite. Ally Sheedy quietly walks off with the film.
This isn’t the first and probably won’t be the last time I watch it. The confessional scenes still sting, the comedy holds up, and that ending — Simple Minds, fist in the air — gets me every time, even when I know it’s coming. Sentimental? Maybe. Don’t care.
