The Breakfast Club - It seems like I have to be a grouchy cynic again...I mean, it had it's moments, especially at the beginning of the film, when it still felt kinda real but then the characters started to turn their moods on a dime and change in very contrived ways to fit the scenes, then there was the baffling dance scene, a make-over of the "ugly" girl (I thought being yourself was the message?), tacked on romance, and finally they end it all on a freeze-frame and a fist bump...Oh, you 1980's.
I'm kinda mixed on it myself...alright at times, but the whole "everyone fits a certain high school stereotype" seems too absurd to believe. Were American high schools actually as clear-cut as that? It feels like one of those exaggerated things that probably never really existed.
