Review of Pretty in Pink (1986) by Luke B — 24 Jan 2009

It has the sweet awkward teenage romance elements down, but this is more teen drama than romantic comedy. Jon Cryer gets the most laughs between being very annoying. It's an understandable annoying though.

We see how he annoys other characters but has their best interests at heart. Ringwald is her cute self and Spader is slimey and very at home as a rich yuppie. It's simple teenage fun that treats the romance as a teen fling as opposed to the ridiculous ones where they suggest the high school sweet hearts will live happily ever after.

Very 80's with an awesome soundtrack.
