I understand how it can be appealing to both parents and children alike. There are many parents that saw this movie when they themselves where in school. Seeing remade scenes from the movie and hearing that familiar song takes them back to that time of their life. Even now, that movie is played frequently on cable TV, so it it likely that even their children have seen it. Even though the movie was made a a couple decades ago, its array of characters make it easy to relate to. Now that I think about it, I guess this really is a good commercial because of the wide audience it has the ability to appeal to.amandamartinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463450338268531063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726539409190697283.post-46287007214068148552008-08-07T08:10:00.000-05:002008-08-07T08:10:00.000-05:00This ad keeps showing up on T.V. now that it got b...This ad keeps showing up on T.V. now that it got brought up in class. This ad does appeal to an older generation because the movie is kind of old. I don't think this ad works because the kids that are actually in school probably won't recognize the relation to the breakfast club because of their age. I do think it creates some sort of nostalgia because it would bring an older generation back to their childhood, but this to me is nostalgia used in the wrong way.Mark Immlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228967770160680734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726539409190697283.post-37993227172623786152008-08-06T21:36:00.000-05:002008-08-06T21:36:00.000-05:00This ad shows nostalgia becasue it goes back in ti...This ad shows nostalgia becasue it goes back in time with the breakfast club which is a movie that parents should know about and it a classic that kids these days just know about. I think its a great way to show off clothes while reacting out the breakfast club. JC Penny shows the varity of clothes that they have to go with everybody. Even though the comercial is chessy it differnt from all the other comercial that JC Penny had so it like a big step up for them. To reach more of younger crowed i think they could have done something a little older in movies so students wearing the clothes can relate but i guess they wanted to reach the parents who are buying the clothes and dont want to go every where to find clothes for the kids. So overall the comercail is bad but good for JC Penny.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254378188844189729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726539409190697283.post-47272042606539247272008-08-06T17:38:00.001-05:002008-08-06T17:38:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968579863540993291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726539409190697283.post-14606675381121640932008-08-06T17:38:00.000-05:002008-08-06T17:38:00.000-05:00This ad works, because of the breakfast club and b...This ad works, because of the breakfast club and back to school. It appeals to parents who saw the breakfast club and who are buying the clothes for their kids, so it is o.k. is kids don't get it. I was scared for a second that they were making a re-make of the breakfast club, which I don't think would be a good idea. Dr. Thompson was right though, a cover band playing the sang made it a little more cheesy.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968579863540993291noreply@blogger.com
