“Brian Johnson: Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us… In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain…
Andrew Clark: …and an athlete…
Allison Reynolds: …and a basket case…
Claire Standish: …a princess…
John Bender: …and a criminal…
Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question?… Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.”

A beautiful and telling portrait of teenage rebellion that announced the rejection of yuppy culture in favour of one of spirited malcontent or a puff-ball fantasy of idealised youth? The Breakfast Club inspires myriad “readings”- it’s also an allegory for the diverse sub-cultures of the school environment- and yet also remains a pop culture mainstay cited and treasured as a coming of age film for all ages.
But, fuck all that – the reason it’s still incredibly popular and an iconic event in cinema for those who grew up at the right time to enjoy it is that it is a great example of perfect character-based story-telling, with conflict, resolution and awkward teenage romance. And that enduring popularity has seen the John Hughes classic finally released to Blu-ray this week.The genius of The Breakfast Club is that if someone asks what it’s about, it is almost...

Chicago – People Love “The Breakfast Club.” It seems to have even jumped generations. While it likely still appeals most strongly to those of us who were at or near the age of the characters on the film’s initial release, John Hughes’ comedy seems to speak to something timeless about the high school experience. The 25th anniversary edition of “The Breakfast Club” on Blu-ray should be a hit.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
Considering that the special features on “The Breakfast Club” Blu-ray have been available before on the standard DVD (in the “Flashback Edition” released in 2008), the big question is whether or not that those who own the latest release need to bother with an upgrade merely for the video and audio offered by HD. Probably not. The HD video picture looks just okay. It’s a bit muted and the overall picture looks soft, like there’s Vaseline on the lens instead of a proper remastering.
