Press Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The Breakfast Club doesn't need earthshaking revelations; it's about kids who grow willing to talk to one another, and it has a surprisingly good ear for the way they speak. Full review.

Empire (UK)

Good and bad, it's still the definitive '80s teen movie. Full review.

New York Times

The five young stars would have mixed well even without the fraudulent encounter-group candor towards which The Breakfast Club forces them. Full review.

Variety (USA)

Does director John Hughes really believe, as he writes here, that 'when you grow up, your heart dies.' It may. But not unless the brain has already started to rot with films like this. Full review.

BBC

Shot in sequence during 1984, The Breakfast Club became a benchmark for all that followed in the genre. Full review.
