If you love Breakfast Club, and think that this might be a fun little re-telling.... Forget it. This thing is terrible. There are no redeeming qualities.
MAH - "phones it in." DG - hmmmm not so much Rest of the Class - bad high school drama club acting.
Save your money. This movie will not become a cult classic. Even as a bad movie cult classic like Plan 9...
If I was to quantify this movie, it is an attempt to steal money from fans of the Breakfast Club. So, with that said, I did see that The Breakfast Club is available to rent/purchase... absolutely do that instead. You can will thank yourself later.
Plot summary
Miranda - the school's theatre instructor of drama 101 - has given these six seniors - a second chance to come back, do their acting scene and hopefully pass. Mr Faulk- The schools associate dean is asked to spend his Saturday to oversee the exam as a proctor. He considers this class a waste of time and views Miranda's teaching methods, opening up these kids, will result with certain consequences she is not trained for. These students, relative strangers to each other, for all intent purposes / have chosen this "elective class" because they thought it would be an easy A - Unbeknownst to them what lie head. The kids have been asked to create characters, of their choice and bring their own personal experiences, emotions and motivations to create an improvisational scene. Miranda pairs them up and puts them to the task to work through their differences, prejudices, and hidden fears. They are challenged by Miranda to break through their walls and establish truth within the improvisational scenes and with their partners. Truths they are unprepared to deal with emotionally. Miranda- working through her own issues has more in common with these kids then she realizes - is now challenged and pushed to a breakthrough as well. By the end of the day, they find their own values and betrayals and loves within themselves and their classmates, and grow to realize more and more that no matter how the teachers, parents or, for that matter, society views them - what counts is how they view themselves.

The Class is a modern day Breakfast Club. I say modern day, obviously because it was filmed recently, but also because it discusses controversial topics that people always seem to try to shrug off. Unfortunately these topics have become too prevalent in our society and the only way to heal this it to TALK ABOUT IT. This is exactly what The Class does right. This film brings people from all different backgrounds together to mend each other's lives.
The Class has good pacing and slowly delves into each topic yet still manages to keep the audience engaged. This is a 10/10. Bravo to everyone who contributed to this movie.

I wish more directors and producers were willing to talk about the topics that The Class dove right into. In today's day and age, there is a lot young people are going through, unfortunately. There is so much hate and chaos around them. But on the other side, there is also a lot of love and if you look for it, peace too. The Class teaches its viewers that. It is bringing people with different stories together to instead help one another overcome their problems.
I loved and thoroughly enjoyed watching the class! I would recommend anyone who cares about the younger generations to watch this movie to really think about what is going on today.
