Review Detail

After reading previous reviews I went in with a more critical eye than I would when normally watching this movie. It didn't diminish the film for me, and while the cut scenes are indeed rough I think they add a lot to the overall story, especially Carl's monologue. The Breakfast Club is not less complete without them, but they humanize the characters even further, warts and all. John Hughes was great at writing likable characters who were also capable of being nasty, jealous, and spiteful --just like in real life. If that sounds appealing, you're gonna love it.
