The Breakfast Club is a 1985 Drama/Comedy-drama film starring Molly Ringwald (Claire Standish), Judd Nelson (John Bender), Ally Sheedy (Allison Reynolds), Emilio Estevez (Andrew Clark), Anthony Michael Hall (Brian Johnson) and Paul Gleason (Richard Vernon).
This film starts out with five teenagers heading into a Saturday detention. They all meet with the man running the detention Mr. Vernon. He tells them all that they would have to be in detention for 8 hours and that they would have to write an 1,000 word essay on who they think that they are. Mr. Vernon leaves after informing them they are not to talk to each other. Bender starts to try to get people all wound up so that they all could cause a commotion. At first the characters don't like each other because they all come from different backgrounds and school groups. Claire is the princess, Allison is the basket case, Bender is the criminal, Andrew is the jock and Brian is the brains. Bender starts plotting on how to be able to get away from the library. At first he tells one of the characters to un-screw the bolt from the door so the Mr. Vernon can't keep the door open. Mr. Vernon gets mad and blames it on Bender without knowing if it's really him or not. Bender tries to put a chair in front of the door but the door is to heavy to be held by a chair so Vernon gives up and leaves the door closed. Soon after the gang leaves the library to go to Benders locker where he pulls out weed and stuffs it in Brian's pants. The gang hears Vernon coming so they all take off. Bender agrees to stay behind so that the rest of the gang can get back to the library without having an trouble. Vernon finds Bender in the gym where Bender starts talking about how he is gonna try out for a basketball scholarship. Bender soon gets thrown into a closet where Vernon tells him to hit him. The rest of the gang stays in the Library and waits until Bender comes back. They all soon bond where they learn more about each other and they smoke the weed that Bender has. Towards the end it is reveled that Claire likes Bender and the Allison and Andrew have a thing for each other. At the end Brian writes one essay for all five of the people in detention and everyone leaves with their parents. Then it cuts to Vernon holding the essay and Brian narrating it.
Overall the movie was a good one. I wouldn't say it is a great film like most people say it is but that is just my own opinion. I did like how the characters developed and grew to like each other after a while and the story telling was good.
