The Breakfast Club
Like most coming of age films, The Breakfast Club garnered too much public and critical attention when it was released, masquing its emptiness with relatable stereotypes that are equally as boring as the plot. The Breakfast Club tried its hardest to be "relatable," but ultimately, the characters lacked depth to the point that they were just characters and not people.
Moulin Rouge!
Film critic Octavio Rocca called Baz Luhrmann's 2001 musical "an overrated mess." He stated that the outrageous editing in the song and dance numbers came across as rough, choppy, and disingenuous. The way the plot is directed attempts to pay tribute to the musical genre, but in the end, it feels tasteless and devoid of care.
