He points out that &#8220;each kid turns out to be soft at the core and sympathetic&#8221;, and notes that &#8220;all suffer from the same problem: parents&#8221; (!!). He writes that while Hughes&#8217; &#8220;direction is too stagy&#8221;, his &#8220;dialogue is perceptive and witty, and also realistic enough to have made the film a hit with teenagers&#8221;. (Indeed, while the movie was popular upon its release, its cult status has grown to enormous proportions since then, with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBreakfastClubMovie\">Facebook page<\/a> receiving nearly 2 million &#8220;likes&#8221;.) Peary notes that &#8220;it&#8217;s obvious that Hughes likes teenagers and believes them to be smart and funny&#8221;; he further points out that &#8220;the young cast excels&#8221;, with &#8220;even Nelson&#8221; &#8212; who &#8220;got a lot of bad press, looks too old, and is stuck with most of the film&#8217;s cliches&#8221; &#8212; &#8220;fine in the largest role&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Peary&#8217;s assessment just about sums up the merits of this guiltily enjoyable teen classic &#8212; though he neglects to mention the memorable use of Simple Minds&#8217; &#8220;Don&#8217;t You (Forget About Me)&#8221; as the theme song (it was written specifically for the movie). Interestingly, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0088847\/trivia?item=tr0732029\">Hughes was asked to write a play based upon his film<\/a> (to be performed by high schoolers), and this may be the best way to view the material: as a morality play, one with an overly-convenient resolution (as Peary points out, &#8220;the ending is too rushed&#8221; and &#8220;we aren&#8217;t sufficiently prepared for the two couplings that take place&#8221;), but which packs a punch precisely because it&#8217;s so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyscript.com\/scripts\/breakfast_club.html\">strategically scripted<\/a>. Hughes&#8217; genius was in capturing the types of stereotypes and concerns that plague teenagers (who often feel isolated by their differences) &#8212; and then allowing his characters to work through these concerns in a cathartic deconstruction. It&#8217;s the stuff of (troubled) teens&#8217; fantasies, and clearly explains the film&#8217;s cult status years later. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> In addition to <em>Sixteen Candles<\/em> (1985), John Hughes wrote and directed several other cult favorites &#8212; including <em>Weird Science<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=5645\"><em>Ferris Bueller&#8217;s Day Off<\/em> (1986)<\/a>, and <em>Planes, Trains, and Automobiles<\/em> (1987); indeed, despite variable output in his later years, Hughes himself (who died from a heart attack in 2009 at age of 59) has a considerable cult following.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine performances by the young ensemble cast<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ringwald.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ringwald-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ringwald-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ringwald-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ringwald-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ringwald.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hirsch.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hirsch-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hirsch-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hirsch-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hirsch-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hirsch.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hall.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hall-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hall-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hall-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hall-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Hall.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Estevez.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Estevez-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Estevez-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Estevez-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Estevez-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Estevez.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>An often witty and incisive script by Hughes<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ensemble.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ensemble-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ensemble-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ensemble-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ensemble-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Breakfast-Club-Ensemble.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
