for some odd reason people who love the movie The Breakfast Club hate this commercial. I find it odd because I love The Breakfast club and I love this commercial. Well am I the only one?

We don't like ripoffs?

I hate the movie and I hate the commercial.

It's great that people realize that The Breakfast Club is an awesome movie (well, maybe not ^), but I'm so sick and tired of seeing all these copycats! Has anyone seen the poster for American Teen?

When I look at that poster, all I see are boobies. Just sayin'.

Haha the main reason I hate the movie is I really really hate Molly Ringwald because she almost always played the same freaking character in her movies. She annoys the crap out of me. If it had been someone else in her role it would have been ok.

Haha I agree with you about Molly Ringwald playing the same role in every movie. Talk about typecast. =\

Not that I mind. I personally like cheesy chick flicks from the '80s. =]

Uh, I actually never realized it was from the Breakfast Club until I saw this thread. Not a huge fan of the movie, but I enjoyed it.

I have no issue with the cheesy chick flicks from the '80s. I love St. Elmo's Fire, About Last Night, pretty much anything without Molly Ringwald. She's just annoying.

American Teen was actually pretty good, but I hadn't read the poster (I still can't, really, but the first line is more Breakfast Club than I realized)

I actually really wanted to watch the documentary after seeing the trailer... it's just that the poster bugged me. xD

I... sort of like it. I guess they're just trying to put a modern twist on it. It's cute. Just watching the commercial makes me want to watch the movie.

I don't really care for it. I like The Breakfast Club, but I don't love it. Granted, the thing about it that annoys me are all the people that don't know what The Breakfast Club is, so JCP gets credited for an idea they didn't even come up with.

agreed .

Found the Breakfast Club poster. I thought the clothes in the American Teen looked like the clothes in the Breakfast Club...

Wow, definitely did not realize it was that close. I'm honesty really glad I saw American Teen before I did any of the trailers or posters for it.

I've never seen the movie but the commercial's annoying. I also hate that Jonas Brothers Target commercial. Jonas Brothers singing hello goodbye? NO. The other day I was in a store and they were playing the original beatles version and these pre-teen girls were like "OMG that's the Jonas Brothers' song!" I wanted to kill them.

i LOVE The Breakfast Club movie and i found the commercial awsome!

and did the American Teen movie have to copy everything from The Breakfast Club?

are you kidding?!? how could anyone like Jonas Brothers more than The Beatles? i mean The Beatles are amazing and even being compared to those.... freaks is an insult. i hate that version of the song, too.

Same here.

It would be nice if people could come up with unique ideas instead of rehashing old ones (especially when they've already been used on several occasions).

Then again, I guess imitation is a form of flattery. I still think that people just lack in imagination and creativity for the most part.

That's just tragic.

Also kind of makes me wonder if the producers of the commercial bothered to note that when the kids there cast are immitating were doing all the crazy dancing in the library, it was because they were all stoned.

Molly was the 80's teen queen of chick flicks. yeah, she practically played the same role in every movie, but i still loved all her movies.


i think JCP needs some original ideas. I hate those dumb commercials, but that's probably because i hate JCPenney. i worked there for over a year...

it was sad, my sister didnt even know what The Breakfast Club was

I thought it was fun... I kind of want to recreate it at my school actually

^ the movie or the commercial?

I forgot about that. I bet they figured the people it was aimed at wouldn't know about The Breakfast Club, and the people who knew about it would think it was funny.

I hate it...there is way too much people.

LOVE IT

Totally takes me back... I mean, it's not like I'm going to run out and buy JC Penny teen apparel, but at the same time, I always have fun watching it. Mainly because they did such a good job recreating key elements of the original film.

that commercial is so lame.

i like the movie, & i would've liked the commercial if they didn't KILL the song

That is my only problem with it.


Yep the key Elements is what got me!

err, I guess something like the commercial. Like lansing said, the key elements of the movie were in it.

Yeah, I first saw the ad during the previews for the Dark Night, and I thought they were coming out with a second breakfast club. :|

It's quite stupid.

i just hate commercials

Ha ha good point!

The only thing I like about it is that the one girl is wearing a Nirvana tee

The Breakfast Club is my all time favorite movie. They butchered it in that commercial. They didn`t even do the Molly Ringwald dance right. Haha and they weren`t smoking pot while they were sitting in that circle but then again that probably wouldn`t be acceptable.

Oh well, too many kids these days don`t know about the movie so if this commercial brings attention to the classic, then that`s fine with me.

I only saw American Teen because I thought it might be remotely close to the amazingness of The Breakfast Club but the movie poster is misleading.

I LOVE THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Yeah, because it's a back to school concept, and no parent wants to see a bunch of kids smoking on pot.

Anyways, don't you guys feel for that song....
"DONT YOUUUUUUUUU. FORGET ABOUT MEEEEEEEE!"

I thought the commercial was cute. *shrug*

Someone agrees with me. ")

No...................... really?????? And smoking on pot is bad grammar. Just fyi.

Ha ha thanks for fixing ninjaBeenly's grammar for me it bugs me when people have bad grammar.

i LOVE the breakfast club and when i first saw that commercial on tv...i was like, "HEY!!! i know where they got that from!" but i must say they did a pretty good job!
