If “The Breakfast Club” had a sequel with the kids of the original characters and some new ones, would you go see it? Also, how close was the original movie to the realities of your high school?

 

[barkley]

no-i hate the original. not realistic at all to my high school experience but it was set several years out from when i attended (which is what i partly attribute my annoyance of the characters to).

Breakfast Club was one of my all time fav movies. I was a teen when it came out. So probably.

 

[Kitty 34]

Loved that movie so possibly.

 

[emmybee]

I might. I would more likely wait until it streamed, though.

Supposedly there is a script for a sequel (with parts for the original characters in some fashion), according to google searching. So it could be made is a couple years. Most of the original cast are in their 50’s and 60’s, so maybe the script would be about them and their teenage grandchildren?

I’d only be interested in it if it had the original actors in it.

It's one of those touchstones that all 80's kids are supposed to like, but I think I was a tad too young to connect with it. I honestly hav eno affinity for the movie and the characters all seem kinda rotten. I wouldn't care at all if there were a sequel.

Supposedly they will be in it if it happens.

My answer would be no, because the only way I would watch it it would be if John Hughes wrote it and seen that he passed away - that’s not gonna happen.

I loved his movies and growing up as a teen during those times I can tell you many of his films were spot on. There was the jocks,
Burnouts, geeks and nerds, and the mean girls, and I don’t even know if high schools like that nowadays?? Back in my day there was definitely the board on the wrong side of the tracks versus money. I also grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and actually seen many of the high schools from the outside. Glenbrook North was used for many films I believe. One of my BFFs back in high school worked with the guy who was an extra on the school bus in Ferris Bueller

John Hughes supposedly wrote the draft for the sequel that’s supposedly being explored.

If is anything like the reboot of That 70s Show, no I would not like it.

 

[dizneegirl]

Nope.

But if I were bored, and it was on Netflix, I might watch it...

 

[superme80]

Nope

 

[mommasita]

For sure . Loved it, and I often watch it

 

[mrodgers]

I would and if I wouldn't, I would probably be forced to by my kids anyways. Whatever the generation they are in college now, Z? they loved the movie.

I sent this to them back in February, LOL

 

[fla4fun]

Hmmm . . . I don’t know. I was not a huge fan of the original because I knew kids like that in school and spent most of my academic career trying to avoid them. I would probably wait for it to hit TV.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I thought that movie was so deep when I was sixteen, haha. I loved it, although it was nothing like my high school. I went to a school chock full of square pegs like me, so there weren't any cliques or stereotypical types like in the film. I think it's so very much of its time that a sequel is dicey territory. Best to keep what happened to the main characters after the detention in one's own imagination.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I don't go to movie theaters (except when on the Disney cruise ship). I would maybe watch it streaming though. I don't know, I have a lot of things lined up to watch that I'm never going to have time for, so it would have to get some really great reviews to jump ahead in my lineup.

 

[Disneylover99]

I was in highschool when the movie came out. If the people in my highschool were like that, I never noticed. I found all the characters in that movie cringey and unlikeable.
