Review of Sixteen Candles (1984) by Enrica C — 24 Dec 2011

Incredibly sweet movie, it succeeds in showing how torn apart teenage years are. How we always want what we cannot have, and how sometimes facts highly exceeds our expectations even if we think we're living in a nightmare. The way this movie is set down in simply magical, you'll probably feel a strong connection with Samantha who'll make you go back to those teen years...

I did like "Sixteen Candles". It's unrealistic and bizarre. But it's nice and I just love the final scene even if analyzing the movie in a deeply way it doesn't make any sense... I mean, why should a rich guy driving a Ferrari dump his previous blonde, nice girlfriend to get together with a person he barely knows, just like that? Well -- this doesn't change the fact that this movie is really sweet and pleasant to watch.
