Product ReviewsPretty in Pink (DVD, 2002) DISC ONLY , Pre-owned

Ahh..the eighties

This is a film that truly defines the era. It has the classic 80's soundtrack (OMD, The Smiths, New Order), the eighties fashion (just look at Jon Cryer's tousled do, and of course that hideous pink prom dress that Molly Ringwald wore - it could only be from the 80's!) and last but not the least, the classic 80's leading actors: Andrew Mc Carthy, Molly Ringwald and James Spader.

This is also a film that began the teen movie genre - Pretty in Pink was THE teen movie. Every element is there - a great young cast, a coming of age romance story and the era defining soundtrack.

As for the plot - it's a classic love triangle story, that also mixes in the usual rich boy-poor girl aspect. Poor girl meets rich boy, rich boy falls in love with poor girl - who also has a boy who's in love with her that turns out to be her best friend. It's cliche, but who cares! It's entertaining, the actors are great - special mention to Jon Cryer who gives out the most endearing performance of a lovesick best friend.

Though getting a DVD copy with extras - especially if they had gotten the original ending for it - would have been excellent, this film being an 80's classic would be as good a reason to get a copy of this movie too.Read full review...

Ah, the 80's!

A bitter sweet tale about a good girl living on the poor side of town. Typical 80's storytelling, reminds me of my highschool days. Molly Ringwald is really good at playing the uptight, intelligent withdrawn type, and Andrew McCarthy is a sweet love interest. Loved the clothes, the music, the story, still after all these years! Duckie is hilarious, everyone has known this character in their lives at least once. This is a must have for all folks wanting to collect 80's cult movies, especially involving the famous "Brat Pack".Read full review...

Just what I expected

Back in the 80's I skipped this movie because it looked like a lame high-school romance for teenage girls. Now after all these decades I discovered that I was right. Good actors with a lame story. Hughes made some of the best movies of the 80's but this is not one of them. It's not even romantic unless (spoiler alert) you like the girl getting the dumb jerk in the end.Read full review...

Great Movie

My favorite thing about this movie is Duckie. He is hilarious. We rented it from Hollywood video and I just fell in love with it. Other great movies include: Breakfast Club, Weird Science, and Sixteen Candles. These three movies also come in a package called The Brat Pack. It's a great buy. I highly recommend this movie and the others I mentioned.Read full review...
