Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Mr. Hughes, having thought up the characters and simply flung them together, should have left well enough alone.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
The Breakfast Club doesn't need earthshaking revelations; it's about kids who grow willing to talk to one another, and it has a surprisingly good ear for the way they speak.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
rotten:
Does director John Hughes really believe, as he writes here, that 'when you grow up, your heart dies.' It may. But not unless the brain has already started to rot with films like this.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
18 Jul 2007
fresh:
John Hughes's 1985 film seems meant to explain 80s youngsters to yesterday's youth, and comes to the comforting conclusion that they're just as alienated, idealistic, and vulnerable as the baby boomers of the 1960s.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
18 Jul 2007
fresh:
In nine hours of threatening, bickering and, eventually, poignant (but never maudlin) self-revelation, the stereotypes dissolve and re-form.
– Michael Booth,
Denver Post,
