About this product
Product Information
Teen angst abounds in this classic comedy written and directed by John Hughes. Samantha Baker's (Molly Ringwald) 16th birthday should be perfect and memorable. Unfortunately, her whole family is preoccupied with her sister's impending wedding and completely forgets Samantha's big day. To add insult to injury, the school geek (Anthony Michael Hall) won't stop hitting on her, she has to bring a foreign exchange student (Gedde Watanabe) with her to the school dance, her visiting grandparents have taken over her bedroom, and she's sure that the boy of her dreams (Michael Schoeffling) doesn't know that she exists. Hughes's script captures the range of teenage emotions, from embarrassment to peer pressure to the pangs of puppy love, with humor and honesty. Hall is memorable as the Geek, and Schoeffling is perfect as the boy of Sam's dreams. A young John Cusack makes his second feature-film appearance as the geek's friend, Bryce, while sister Joan Cusack appears as Geek Girl #1. Ringwald's reign as the queen of 1980s teen flicks began with this film, which was Hughes's directorial debut and the first in his stream of successful teen films (THE BREAKFAST CLUB, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF).Product Identifiers

Quirky romantic comedy that's both heart-warming & goofy
A rare case of a romantic comedy that I enjoyed despite not one single character in it I could personally relate to. It straddles a fence between believable characters and totally off-the-wall behavior. John Hughes, in a fad of the time, relies too much on loud pop music blaring over the background to help tell the story, perhaps afraid that his audience might get bored or distracted, despite the film's short run-time and fast pace. The multiple interviews add a nice restrospective; it's a shame that the film's real star, Molly Wingwald, did not participate!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
