Review of Sixteen Candles (1984) by Grayson W — 01 Sep 2015
What's not to like? It's pretty wacky, has one of the wildest parties in 80s teen comedy history, Anthony Michael Hall as the nerd, John Kusack as another nerd and Long Duc Dong (who is also fun in another over the top 80s film called Vamp).
Just as in Pretty in Pink, the plot is of Molly Ringwald arbitrarily being in love with a random rich guy she has nothing in common with, but just like in Pretty in Pink, most of the fun is what happens Around her.
Also has a fun soundtrack that includes Patti Smith and Oingo Boingo.
