The Breakfast Club - 4 stars out of 5 stars

My HS days were not like this film in that I was a urban center kid not a suburban,that aside the stereotypes are familiar and thus a worthwhile film to watch if you get nostalgic from time to time.Great acting and the emergence of "The Brat" pack,a follow up to Sinatra's "Rat Pack"of friends in the entertainment biz. Released in 1985 it runs a just right 97 minutes and the only reason to take 1 star off is that it's slightly dated.The brat pack stars are Emilio Estevez and Anthony Michael Hall,Judd Nelson,Molly Ringwald and  Ally Sheedy.Good job by Paul Gleason the guy running detention.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.Enjoy it least once.

Five high school students, all different stereotypes, meet in detention, where they pour their hearts out to each other, and discover how they have a lot more in common than they thought.
