Movie synopsis

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).

This is an excellent movie about young love. If you haven't seen it try to because it is a good one. Molly Ringwold plays a teenager with a crush on a football player but feel that he doesn't even notice her. With a few comical twists She finally gets what she wants. It is an awesome move.

Growing up I was always watching Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and The Breakfast Club, in earlier years I purchased Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club, but was never able to find my favorite, Sixteen Candles. I can't wait til my little 80's trio is complete!
