Why 'The Breakfast Club' Could Never Happen Today

The Breakfast Club is a harrowing tale of five strangers breaking stereotypes and forming the bond of a lifetime. But at its core, it's just about detention and the lengths kids will go to to keep themselves entertained.

It's an '80s flick through and through. Just ask the cast's hair.

But why hasn't Hollywood attempted a remake of the most classic of high school films? Because it's the darn 21st century and nothing is as interesting these days. Funri demonstrates why the plot of an updated Breakfast Club would just fall flat -- they'd all be too busy Snapchatting and Instagramming to notice that they should be BFFs.
