早餐俱乐部

本片是约翰．休斯与莫利．林沃德继《少女十五十六时》之后，再度合作的一部中学生喜剧，描写五位个性反叛的男女同学，在假期被罚留校温习功课。五人的家庭背景和性格各异，但在他们诚恳交谈之后，逐渐放开了彼此的戒心和敌意，变成了心意相通的好友。全片对年轻人的心态有相当深入细腻的描写，手法轻松幽默而具启发性，容易获得年轻观众共鸣，一群新秀演员也有贴切的演出。Beyond being in the same class at Shermer High School in Shermer, Illinois, Claire Standish, Andrew Clark, John Bender, Brian Johnson and Allison Reynolds have little in common, and with the exception of Claire and Andrew, do not associate with each other in school. In the simplest and in their own terms, Claire is a princess, Andrew an athlete, John a criminal, Brian a brain, and Allison a basket case. But one other thing they do have in common is a nine hour detention in the school library together on Saturday, March 24, 1984, under the direction of Mr. Vernon, supervising from his office across the hall. Each is required to write a minimum one thousand word essay during that time about who they think they are. At the beginning of those nine hours, each, if they were indeed planning on writing that essay, would probably write something close to what the world sees of them, and what they have been brainwashed into believing of themselves. But based on their adventures during that nine hours, they may come to a different opinion of themselves and the other four.
