Review of Sixteen Candles (1984) by Michael C — 05 Sep 2011

'Sixteen Candles' is the unfortunate truth of what every girl goes through when they discover boys don't have cooties beautifully told through director/screenwriter/"high school psychologist" John Hughes.

Molly Ringwald embodies the character of Sam so well and makes us believe all of the problems she faces with her family forgetting her birthday to the guy of her dreams is with the hottest girl in school.

Just a typical high school student role and yet she does it better than anyone else at that time. Always laugh after laugh when you watch it and the smart-ass sarcasm never gets old.
