Molly Ringwald established herself as the teen queen of the '80s in this fresh comedy. The movie is a day in the life of Samantha, whose 16th birthday is turning out to be anything but sweet. All the traumas of teendom come down on one long day, which sees Samantha surrounded by dithery relatives, mooning over a high school hunk, and pursued by a sawed-off Lothario. Sixteen Candles marked the directing debut of John Hughes, and its goofy energy displayed a promising talent with a great ear for high school lingo ... a promise neglected since Hughes became, after Home Alone, a one-man entertainment industry. There are some pretty crass moments (Why the stereotype of the foreign-exchange student from Asia?), but Ringwald's steady appeal smoothes over the rough spots. As the pubescent, self-styled lady-killer, Anthony Michael Hall turns in a hilarious portrait of a young swinger; he and Ringwald would reteam with Hughes for The Breakfast Club, another key teen picture of the decade. --Robert Horton

Back in the good ol' days March 10, 2010

When I was younger, I would watch Sixteen Candles on "regular" t.v. (no cable) to just hear a song - True by Spandeau Ballet. I realized that i never watched the real version of the movie so on a whim i decided to add this to my collection. I'm so glad I did. I still love the scene at the dance but it was so much better to get this edition with all the behind the scenes info and interviews from the cast. It seemed especially timely after seeing the Molly Ringwald & others honoring John Hughes at the Oscars this year.
Delightful. March 2, 2010

This is another gem from the 80's, one of my favorites because like all females I completely related to MOLLY RINGWALD! She completely 'got' the experience of being a teenage girl, probably because she was one at the time. There are few insights to write about, it's not a terribly 'deep' film, but the chemistry between her and Anthony Michael Hall is palpable, and her family scenes are hysterical and over the top and wonderful to behold.
But I think what makes this film sing (so to speak) is the wonderful SOUNDTRACK. My whole family ran out to buy it when it came out, and listened to the songs over and over and over. I'm not sure how it all came about, but I think Molly Ringwald must have had something to do with it, the music was absolutely perfect.
And it's still a fun movie to watch.

I am still waiting for my movie. I have emailed the seller and have gotten nothing back. Don't use them.

This is an old favorite of mine. Trying to keep up with the cliques while maintaining your real friends never stops being a challenge to teens ... then and today. Great DVD.

I love this movie, but not this version. Buy a different edition than this. It's okay if you just want to watch the movie. I don't like the extra features at all. People who had nothing to do with the movie were talking about it. The features were not special. Buy this movie, but not this edition.
