This is coming from a 15-year-old, "The Breakfast Club" was so boring.!
Question: I expected too much from the movie or something, because it was boring me. I don't care about 5 teenagers lives... All they did was sit and talk the whole time. I was paying attention to what they were saying. I can't believe I had the patience to watch this movie. I've seen tons of movies.. and I've heard this movie was really good. So why not give it a shot? Turns out, it stinked. One of my favorite movies is "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" now that's what you call a good movie. "Lion King" was so good too. But this movie was just.. blechh.. I was actually supposed to watch "Pan's Labyrinth" instead of this movie. I should have watched that movie instead..
What do you think about the movie?

I also thought that The Breakfast Club is a boring film. In school people would say it's amazing then once I seen it, I thought "You're easily pleased".
Sit down and watch Pans Labyrinth, it's a much better film but quite brutal in parts.
sorry you feel that way
guess you needed to be 15 in the 80's to get it, it's the movie of my generation hey hey hey hey
i thought it was boring to.And LOL Winter Glory is old!!!! P.S i am 12 lets chat!
Btw....not "stinked," "stunk."
The problem was that you went into it with elevated expectations when it's a movie that kids have to relate to and I don't think kids today can - each of the groups have either vanished or gotten more extreme. The innocent age in which these kids lived is over. Lesson, you're not an 80's teen movie kid, nothing wrong with that.
Your lame! I like the movie...and this is coming from a 15 year old. It has good music from the 80's and isn't boring at all.
I think you're too young to understand it. The movies deals with social relationships and the realization of the diminishing gap between social classes. The movie is older than you, so you missed it's target generation.
OPINIONS differ, but I would say you are in the minority!
It is a little boring compared to today's action-packed or special-effects tweaked films, but if you were around the same age as the characters in the movie at that same time, you'd appreciate it more.
But I agree, I don't think it's as great as most people do either.
Try 16 Candles instead.
Back in our day when we were 15 when it first came out, it was great. One thing is kids today have a different way of classifying school mates. Breakfast Club was how we did it. The popular girl, the jock, the geek and the nerd. It made perfect sense to us.
Oh, and trust me, if you didn't like this, you won't like 16 candles.
What?! You didn't have to be a teenager in the '80s to relate to this movie!! That's absurd!! I wasn't even BORN yet when "The Breakfast Club" came out, I wasn't around until 2 years later, and all through middle school and high school (10-20 years later), it was one of my favorite movies. It helped me out a lot.
That David Bowie quote at the beginning? People from across generations can relate to that, I don't care who you are or when you were born or when you went to high school. Humanity is still humanity, people have to deal with the same crap over and over again, and go through the same stages of life.
"And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through..."
I saw that movie when it came out when I was 15 or 16 and thought they were a bunch of cry baby losers. I agree that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was really good. Try "No Country for Old Men" or "There Will Be Blood." Excellent and will be classics years to come.
Not only did you watch the movie with expectations that were too high, (which can ruin any movie, I know from experience), but you watched it being a teenager at a time when there aren't a lot of movies being made where the characters mostly sit around and talk without a lot of action and special effects. So I understand how you could be bored.
However, what makes that movie so good and so timeless is that no matter what decade the movie took place in, the theme of teenagers trying to discover themselves, make an identity for themselves, and find out exactly who they are and what they want to be is universal, and will always be. Therefore, there will always be teenagers who can identify with the movie, and one of the characters in it.
Maybe if you watch it again in a few years, with lower expectations, and really pay attention to what the characters are representing, you'll get more out of it.
It was a different time. Cliques were more defined back then. Labels were clear and kids had the guts to stand up for what they believed in.
Not like now, where many kids don't want to be judged.
