More detrimental to momentum is, of course, an unevenness in pacing, a more serious issue that incorporates a few lively spots to break up the monotony of the dominant thoughtfulness that, while effectively compelling on the whole, goes so padded by repetitious material in John Hughes' scripting that the thoughtfulness often runs out of material to draw upon as subtly lively. Labeled a comedy-drama, this film, as quite decidedly John Hughes' heaviest film, is much more dramatic than anything, yet it does have a tendency to lighten up, perhaps too considerably, with fluffy elements of humor, or at least lightheartedness (Perhaps Keith Foresee's score a touch too funky), that defuse some dramatic momentum. Sorry, kids, but if you're going rip off the Rat Pack, don't expect to make Frank Sinatra money, and just worry about making a good movie, like this one, which isn't to say that you can easily forget about this film's flaws. Well, retrospect at least makes the film kind of sad, because the careers of the Brat Pack members featured in this film didn't really go as far as many had hoped, kind of like the careers of Brat Pack members in any film. as opposed to this film, which is consistently upbeat and fun. I for one would have voted for Billy Joel's "Vienna", but the kids wouldn't have gone for that, as it's a little too bittersweet of a coming-of-age ballad.
Don't you children after the mid'80s dare tell me that "Don't You (Forget About Me)" didn't play a big role in your teen years, because it went on to be everyone's senior anthem, including - you guessed it - mine.
#Where to watch the breakfast club online movie#
I'd be tongue-in-cheek here and say that it's a shame that people forgot about them, but that Breakfast Club probably should have tried to get a movie deal, because Simple Minds probably would have been forgotten if it wasn't for this film. Ladies and gentlemen, "Right on Track", by the one-hit wonder band Breakfast Club, which didn't get an album out until two years after this film, but formed before the film and is therefore the original. "I could move out to the left for a while, I could slide to the right for a while, I could get up and back right on track!".
