Review of Sixteen Candles (1984) by Lhone — 04 Apr 2020
What could have been a perfectly mediocre 80s teen flick is marred by an absolutely horrendous date-rape subplot that is too often overlooked. Sure "tHe CuLtUrE wAs DiFfErEnT" back then or whatever but that should not excuse how a horrific violation of one of the main characters occurs (admittedly off-screen) and that this is made to serve as a punchline repeatedly throughout the latter half of the movie or so.
Absolutely despicable inclusion that should kill any fond memories anyone has of this film.
