| Breakfast anyone?: John Hughes' movie about troublemakers is a classic. |
This John Hughes creation shows five high
school students from different social circles at a Saturday detention. Of the five, there is a socialite, a jock, a
criminal, a nerd, and a basket case. In
order to escape boredom, they wander the halls, avoid the principal, and
actually get to know each other. Through
the many disagreements among them, they discover that they are all bizarre in
one way or another. In the end, all
truths are revealed and new friendships are formed.
This movie is a
classic. The clothes, hairstyles, and
technologies may be behind us, but the pressures, stereotypes, and detentions
all still exist. I love this movie
because of its honesty; it shows that five completely different people can
become friends, based merely on personality as opposed to the status quo. This is a must-see movie and can be found in
many different locations such as Target or Netflix.
