**"They only met once but it changed their lives forever..." **  Being one of John Hughes's most well known movies, The Breakfast Club is a great movie that teens of any decade can relate to. When five teens of completely different stereotypes, a princess (Ringwald), a misfit (Sheedy), a nerd (Hall), a jock (Estevez) and a rebel (Nelson) find themselves in an eight hour Saturday detention, they make it anything but boring. They don't have much in common except having to sit in the library for eight hours and write an essay about "who they are" for the principal. By the end of the day, they realize that they have much more in common than they thought at first glance. With it's witty characters and a soundtrack that moves this movie along, detention will never be the same.

Every character is a rebel in their own way. Like most young adults, they are trying to break out of the mold that their peers put them into. Of course while doing so, they can't let their other "friends" find out. They soon realize that they really aren't from totally different worlds as they seem to be. All of them have similar problems and can't accept themselves for well, being themselves.

I feel like more teens should watch this movie and realize well, the message is true, we are all the same in some ways and shouldn't be categorizing each other into little groups of social circles.

If you enjoyed this movie, which I can assure you, you will, you should watch some of John Hughes's other great films. These include Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles and Weird Science to name a few. To get a full list of his movies, visit [|this site].
