Full Plot Details

Beyond being in the same class at Shermer High School in Shermer, Illinois, Claire Standish, Andrew Clark, John Bender, Brian Johnson and Allison Reynolds have little in common, and with the exception of Claire and Andrew, do not associate with each other in school. In the simplest and in their own terms, Claire is a princess, Andrew an athlete, John a criminal, Brian a brain, and Allison a basket case. But one other thing they do have in common is a nine hour detention in the school library together on Saturday, March 24, 1984, under the direction of Mr. Vernon, supervising from his office across the hall. Each is required to write a minimum one thousand word essay during that time about who they think they are. At the beginning of those nine hours, each, if they were indeed planning on writing that essay, would probably write something close to what the world sees of them, and what they have been brainwashed into believing of themselves. But based on their adventures during that nine hours, they may come to a different opinion of themselves and the other four.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Duane ByrgeWhile meticulously drawn, the film's characters are so stereotypically representative that only the lamest of moviegoers will not determine their respective backgrounds and problems long before the plodding movie does.
Film Written Magazine - 10/10 by Shay CaseyIt's easy to see why The Breakfast Club appeals to teens - it understands their problems, sympathizes, and tells them that, no, it's not always their fault.
Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestIt's extremely insightful, and pure fun all the way. There might be better movies, but few are as cool as this one.
BBC - 10/10 by Ben FalkThe performances by the young cast, culminating in an exuberant pot-smoking session, followed by a genuinely touching denouement, is classic stuff. And such lines as: "The chick can't hold her smoke!" and "You wouldn't know her, she lives in Canada," are still spouted today.
Newsday - 10/10 by Rafer GuzmanRarely have on-screen teens felt this authentic. They bluster, bicker and trade horrible insults (whence the film's R rating), then suddenly expose their most guarded feelings.
Cinemalogue.com - 9/10 by Rubin SafayaMolière's most famous work, Tartuffe, is about a pious fraud who turns out to be a criminal... The joke is that Bender is a criminal fraud who turns out to be pious.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh LarsenNelson is jarring, scary and brilliantly bitter.
DVD Clinic - 9/10 by Scott WeinbergEqual parts funny, smart and sincere, it's a movie that delved a little deeper into the teenage psyche and came back with something more challenging than "nerds want sex."
Q Network Film Desk - 9/10 by James KendrickHughes's poignant, sometimes funny, and always thoughtful drama didn't so much revolutionize the teen movie as it mined the genre for long-ignored potential
Cinema Crazed - 9/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Had something to say about being an adult and how the lessons we learned as a teenager would carry us in to adulthood, for better and for worse.
