It seems from reading the other user comments here that one either loves or hates "Mrs. parker and the Vicious Circle" (I personally love the movie). I'll be the first to agree that my tastes in films don't generally lean toward the mainstream. I personally feel that most big box office films belong to the "straight to video" film genre (geezzzzzzzz is that a new genre, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, if it is maybe I can get it copyrighted). I tend to enjoy art house movie fare and I find that this movie fits the bill quite nicely. If you can look for a copy of this film on laserdisc, since, it's the only widescreen version of the film available (plus it contains a short documentary about Dorothy Parker herself).

I must admit that I was a true loner in high school, and essentially I'm now at 33 I'm still a loner who has become a bit more jaded with the passage of time. With that said, John Hughes "The Breakfast Club" seems to me to be a sort of love letter to all of us who just seemed to blend into the background during our high school years. Of course like everyone I also have a favorite character in the film, and my choice is Allison who is wonderfully played by Ally Sheedy. So, my advice to all who have read this far is to try and watch this film with your emotions rather than trying to analyze the film to death.
