One Paragraph Movie Review: The Breakfast Club

Fifty-ninth film: The Breakfast Club. Obviously there’s a few problems with this movie: there’s some homophobic language, there’s some surplus-to-storyline sexual harassment, Ally Sheedy looks way better before her makeover, and everybody’s school library sucks by comparison. That said, holy shit what an incredible movie. It’s fifteen percent better and deeper and more meaningful every time you watch it, which means for most people it’s about three hundred percent good. Watch it every two years for the rest of your life, and relate the most to a different character every time. Four and three-quarter elaborate detention sushi lunches out of five.
