Has anyone seen the new JC Penney back to school commercial? It is an updated take on "The Breakfast Club", with reenactments of famous scenes from the movie set to a hip version of "Don't You Forget About Me." The school is even called Shermer High.
I actually thought it was a cool approach.

I saw it tonight at The Dark Knight.
I didn't like it....at first I thought they remade the movie...and I thought..Oh No...they couldn't have....then it turned in to the commercial.
I liked that they tried to redo that movie...because of course everything about that movie is cool...but none of the kids in the commercial came close to the originals.
All it did was make me miss the original people, and realize that JCPenney's makes horrible clothes for teens.

I'm actually interested in seeing this now.....
JcPenny actually have great clothes for teens and woman.......ive found great jeans and tops that are classy and cool.........some almost 80's looking striped shirts......good in my opinion

I haven't seen the commercial, but I'm guessing that ad agency writer grew up during the 80's, and wanted to share his/her memories of the movie.

Thought I'd post this commercial since it's finally on TV:
