I must say that after seeing 'The Breakfast Club' this past weekend, that
the 'Variety' ecerpt posted here is nothing but simple-minded mouse drivel.
'The Breakfast Club' is an *outstanding* movie, and remembering my somewhat
traumatice high school days, there is no doubt that John Hughes understands
the high-school teenage condition.

The dialogue is quite intelligent I think, and 98% COMPLETELY true to life.
These characters are people that I went to high school with, and the only
questionable aspect, to me, was the time spent on Gleason's character Vernon.
About all I got out of that tangent was "Gee, no wonder our schools have such
a bad reputation."

I understand that most critics are really giving this film a hard time, and
that is really sad, as I would place this film above 'The Killing Fields'.
If not, then very close to 4 *.

Finally, I would like to add that I though '16 Candles' was a delight!
