Breakfast Club Script

Until I got the opportunity to read the breakfast club script, I would’ve never had the thought or idea of reading any script for a movie. I feel that I can relate to this script in so many different ways, which makes it so entertaining to watch. “A brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal” (MLA) describes the five different characters in this movie.
