What they share
Both films are directed by John Hughes, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Breakfast Club, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Curly Sue is
Curly Sue sets out to charm with its odd couple con artists. Bill and Curly Sue scam strangers to survive. It predictably gets complicated with romance.
