The Breakfast Club
28 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This film might be called "The Breakfast Club" because several women are depicted waking up and sharing breakfast without remembering anything about the previous night because their drinks were filled with roofies in the bar called "The Break." Now, it's time to break the fast, girls!

The film had a strong leading character in Andi, an optimistic young woman seeking a job in the area of publishing. She had a job offer in New York, but left for Boston to be with her boyfriend Sean. Now, Andi has located a wonderful new App that introduces her to new friends, which are important when she breaks up with Sean.

Unfortunately, Andi's first friend is Farrah, who is using the App as a procurer to round up young women and bring them to the club where her pimp-boyfriend Ethan introduces the women with ambitious and successful men. This is where the roofies enter the picture when drinks are served. Inevitably, there will be unending suffering for the unsuspecting women.

It was never very credible that the women would return to The Break after their first unpleasant encounter with Ethan and the nefarious creatures that surround him. An unsung hero in the film was Shannon, a co-worker of Etan, who alerted Andi to his dangerous game and paid the ultimate price for trying to undo him.

A cautionary tale emerged about the pitfalls of easy friendships on the apps and, above all, the life-damaging effects of exploitation of women by predators like Ethan. Andi took a strong stand against this evil person, and the result was a much more congenial ambience at the breakfast club.
