Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club. Neither a club nor is there breakfast.

The movie starts off with a wide shot of the school - Shermer High School - and then reveals that there are five students in Saturday detention. The principal, Mr. Vernon, gives them an assignment where they have to write about "Who they think they are" and what they did to receive detention in the first place.

At first, the five just goof off - they dance, they fight, they tell stories (like about Bender's father) and one shakes dandruff out of her hair to create a pile of "snowflakes." Fun.

Eventually they wind up opening up to each other and we find out who everyone is and what kind of character they are. Later on in the film, some of their more hidden traits come out. For instance, Bender becomes softer and is a bit more friendly towards the group (as opposed to him being a complete dickhead before) Hell, Claire kisses him! Andrew winds up becoming interested in Allison after Claire gives her a makeover.

At the end of the film, the group finally does the essay and signs it as "The Breakfast Club" and leave it for Mr. Vernon to read. There were two similar but different letters in the beginning and end. It shifted from antagonizing to the letter realizing that the group is similar in their own ways.

I personally enjoyed this film, it's rather funny and I especially like Bender. I think he's my favorite character because he don't play by no rules yo.
