Great Film overall

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I don't know what to hate about this movie. It's a good teen film but the age rating should be changed. There is one nudity scene where Jake's girlfriend is taking a shower completly naked. Another reason why this movie should be PG-13 is because there is alot of cursing!Overall, I think that my job here is done. 9/10

This film is one of the many iconic movies to star Molly Ringwald. In this film, you have a typical coming-of-age story with a female lead. The story follows her after her parents forget her 16th birthday. She has to deal with her sister getting married, and also having a huge crush on one of the most popular boys in school, Michael Schoeffling. This film is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. It's quirky, tacky and over the top in every right way. The soundtrack to this film is also a highlight, and is truly one to be enjoyed.But, a predictable ending and some goofs that go too far drag the film down a bit. It's a film that is meant to be over the top, but sometimes when a film goes too wild, your suspension of disbelief is broken and you have a hard time believing or even enjoying what you're seeing.

Time to boogie down in this 80s hip comedy classic sixteen candles.Molly Ringwald (Samantha Baker) stars in this smash hit about a girl who is about to turn sixteen and finds her life isn't filling.She wants to fit in with the cool kids, avoid the mayhem in her home as they get ready for her sister's wedding and make the guy of her dreams fall in love with her.The soundtrack consists predominately of alternative punk rock and adds an edge to an otherwise simple film.Aside Molly, the Donger felt like the true star providing hilarious outrages lines and getting caught up American culture.Some complain his character is a stereotype of another race and I have to disagree. He was up tight at the start who knew no one and once he hits the dance floor with a beautiful woman he starts to open up becoming a party animal.Michael Anthony Hall didn't do to bad and showed his acting chops becoming a ladies man instead of the typical need who can't find a date. His comic timing was top notch.Join a few familiar faces for a comedy that will have you rolling on the floor.

An unrequited crush, your obnoxious grandparents are staying over, your sister's getting married, and your parents forgot your birthday. Could anything get worse? Sixteen Candles, released in 1984 and directed by John Hughes answers this question and proves that no matter how bad it gets, a happy ending is always possible. Samantha Baker, our heroine is a high school sophomore who happens to be having the worst week of her life. Jake Ryan, a senior, has every girl in the school's heart, including Sam's. Through trial and error accompanied by a foreign exchange student's wackiness, being stalked by a geeky freshman with a huge crush on her, and attending a school dance nervous and alone, Sam's attempts to woo Jake make for one of the most influential movies of the 1980s. The cinematography of Sixteen Candles is flawless. Soundtrack from timeless media makes its way into the picture. Perfect camera angles capture the emotion of the scene perfectly. Through twists and turns, the plot weaves itself into a classic love story. The need for acceptance is a primary theme in Sixteen Candles. Sam is unassertive about her appearance and place in society, Caroline flaunts her beauty out of insecurity, and the Geek feels a need to stand out. Many teens will find Sixteen Candles uplifting and relatable. An absolutely perfect movie by one of the best directors of the decade. 10/10.
