Pros: funny moments, good acting, fast pace to film Cons: goes too much for the laugh rather than building the characters
When I watched Sixteen Candles again for the first time in a number of years, I didn't remember having this sort of reaction to it when I first saw it in theaters. Am I dating myself? I would question if it's just me that changed except ...
Pros: Fun, entertaining movie with decent cast. Cons: Fairly simple plot. Could be too silly for some.
John Hughes was responsible for several popular movies in the 1980's, many of which are now considered classic comedies. I have enjoyed most of his movies that I've seen. Sixteen Candles< b>< i> is one of his movies that I still enjoy when I watch ...
I sat and pondered in my mind for weeks when Melissa(Bops Mom) had asked me if I would like to participate in the Favorite Comedy Movie Write Off..Low and behold I took the invitation. I had two movies in mind, one being The Last America Virgin and the...
You know, it’s a little weird. I sort of feel like I’m embarking on a trip through time. You see, I’m writing this review in July, but I know that I won’t post it until October. I mean, I haven’t even announced my write-off yet!...
Plot SummarySixteen Candles is about a 16-year-old girl named Samantha (Molly Ringwald) whose family forgets about her birthday. Her birthday is overshadowed by her older sister’s upcoming wedding. She also has a crush on ...
Pros: Great cast, typical 80s storyline Cons: Predictable ending, but who cares?
I have to be honest. The first time I saw Sixteen Candles I was only 10 years old. Ever since that first viewing, I was hooked on this movie. So hooked, I can practically recite every single line from the movie. That can be either seen ...
Pros: Very, very funny. Great lines. Cons: Too funny
What happens when you take: an innocent high school sophomore; a cool but charming jock; his beer drinking friends; a Chinese exchange student with the name like Long Duck Dong, who would rather spell his food, then eat it; a couple of geeks and their...
Pros: funny, touching story, good acting Cons: baaaaad message about date rape, in my opinion
Seriously. I don't want to sound like a prude here, but that part of this movie disturbs me. I'll get to that in a minute.. let me tell you what I DO like first.
I loved Sixteen Candles as much as anyone else when I was a teenager.. it's a...
Ever have one of those days when nothing goes right? Samantha Baker is having one on her sixteenth birthday. It seems her sister is getting married the next day and everyone forgets her birthday. Both sets of her grandparents are staying at her house...
Pros: "I never been so happy in my whole life"-the Donger Cons: Molly grew up.
I have never met anyone who hasn't seen this movie. It is one of those movies that I could watch over and over again (oh wait- I have) without ever getting bored.
The premise: Samantha Baker wakes up excited about her 16th birthday, only to...
when your family has forgotten your birthday, you're engaged sister in the center of attention, your little brother is too annoying to live, your crazed grandparents are visiting for the weekend, you're being stalked by the "King of the Nerds",...
Pros: poignant and funny, even sweet and timeless Cons: looks pretty dated; a negative ethnic stereotype
Watching "Sixteen Candles" on TNT the other night reminded me how fast things change. In the 1980's, this was probably considered a hip, timely production. It had a soundtrack full of English synth-pop and all the actors were dressed exactly...
The very first John Hughes movie that I ever saw was Sixteen Candles. I loved every minute of it, from the very moment that Samantha is on the phone talking about her breast size, to Long Duk Dong and his American style girlfriend, to the Infamous Jake....
Pros: Dated and Nostalgic! Cons: Dated and Nostalgic!
It breaks my heart to realize that one day when my 4 year old daughter is a teen, I will probably make her watch this and she will probably look at me like I am some gigantic freak of nature.
Samantha s life is going downhill fast. The fifteen-year-old has a crush on the most popular boy in school, and the geekiest boy in school has a crush...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
