		<description>For the record, I&#039;m not a &quot;pig&quot;, I just have a sense of humour. Also, don&#039;t know who put &quot;expert review&quot; in &quot;quotation marks&quot; but it wasn&#039;t me. I have never once purported to be an expert. A nice guy, yes, but no expert.

As for the beef you have with my pie-fucking-based comment, it was intended as a comedic way of saying that edgier teen movies such as American Pie, Porky&#039;s etc are more entertaining movies, in my opinion, more raucous, wild, and reflective of teen/college experiences, and are also unafraid to feature negative portrayals of teen characters, even when they aren&#039;t the villains of the piece. By contrast, The Breakfast Club is a timid and overly-reflective piece of work. That, to be honest, is my chief problem with it - it takes itself far too seriously. 

And &quot;your  right not in all situations would 5 random teenagers become the best of friends in a detention library but your  clearly 40-50 years out of highschool, these stereotypes these children exsist&quot;? I&#039;m not even 20 years old yet. I don&#039;t dispute that self-stereotyped groups that exist to fill the box that they think they belong in still exist - I have seen &#039;em with mine own eyes. But the very admission that these are indeed stereotyped characters surely undermines your argument. 

I&#039;m with you when you say that &quot;regardless of who you are, who you associate yourself with or where you come from shouldn’t matter and that everyone deserves acceptance&quot;.

I just straight up don&#039;t like The Breakfast Club.</description>

		<description>I have to totally disagree with you, I believe that the Breakfast Club is a tasteful and realistic movie.

It sends out a great message, that regardless of who you are, who you associate yourself with or where you come from shouldn&#039;t matter and that everyone deserves acceptance. 

I dont believe the message that is given is annoying or irrating whatsoever, your right not in all situations would 5 random teenagers become the best of friends in a detention library but your clearly 40-50 years out of highschool, these stereotypes these children exsist. 

&quot;And the underlying tone of the film, the idea that these kids have what they call ‘attitude’, grates quickly. They just seem a bit sarcastic and moody, and that’s not what I want from my teen movie. I want men having intercourse with pies and copious swearing, not shoe-gazing whingers locked in a library.&quot;

Now if your that interested in a movie of that taste i suggest you consider an x rated film, your clearly a pig, but id think twice before you begin to put out your &quot;expert review&quot; of this timeless film.</description>
