Reviews:

Really fun, and funny, romantic-comedy that is to me akin to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off style of humor from John Hughes (vs. something like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink with a more serious tone or themes). Anyway, this was my first time seeing this and while I still place TBC and FBDO over this, still another great film from Hughes to come out of the 80s and, like those, still works so well today. **4.0/5**

I’ve never bagged a babe. I’m not a stud.

It’s Samantha Baker’s 16th birthday and her family are so wrapped up in her sisters impending wedding, they have completely forgotten Sam’s big day. Not only that but she has the hots for school hunk Jake Ryan who, apparently doesn’t know she even exists. Her existence, however, is noted by freshman Ted “The Geek” who lusts after her at every opportunity. Being 16 really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, maybe?

John Hughes directs his first feature film and sets out his marker for the career that was to come for the astute observer of teen angst and coming of age drama.

Featuring Hughes faves Molly Ringwald (Sam0 & Anthony Michael Hall (Ted), Sixteen Candles is frothy on the outside but not without cunning substance on the inside. It’s the sort of film that is easy to forgive its obviousness on account of its understanding of its characters, something that Hughes was a master of. Even as we run through the staple requirements of the teen comedy movie (dance, party, making out etc ) Hughes manages to avoid the cliché pitfalls of such sequences by fuelling them with believable patois.

His cast, with the exception of the dull Michael Schoeffling (Jake), are sparky and engaging throughout. With the Cusack siblings, John & Joan also showing up in the strong supporting cast. There’s an Asian exchange student thread that some have tried to paint as stereotypically offencive, but that is nonsense! Gedde Watanabe ensures the role is the fun and harmless one it’s meant to be.

The soundtrack is kicking and very at one with the story (another knack of Hughes), it features the likes of The Specials, The Revillos, Billy Idol, The Stray Cats and The Thompson Twins. And the Evanston, Illinois location work really fleshes out the feeling of the piece.

Not just a film for 80s nostalgists then, one for pretty much anyone who was 16 and had their emotions pulled all over the place. 7/10

“They F##king forgot my birthday!!!”…
These are the immortal words spoken by SIXTEEN CANDLES heroine Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) in the ultimate 80’s teen comedy. This movie has become a classic to those born in the 70’s, like myself, and I now consider it a “guilty pleasure”. Its a movie we all grew up with. Didn’t we all know a person like ‘Farmer Ted’, or a hot queenie like the blonde he hilariously gets. It was every young freshman’s fantasy. This funny flick is also a relic of the 80’s that is not all that dated.

The jokes still work (as long as you see it uncut) and it is neat seeing things of the not so distant past be on display. Floppy disks, headgears, leotards, etc… Time has not been so good to the featured stars. Ringwald and Anthony-Michael Hall, who was born to play this role, and this one only, have all but disappeared. The biggest stars now are blips on the screen here: Joan (in a headgear) and John (a geek) Cusack. The film is like a toy you can’t put away.

Some situations are beat, but at least Paul Dooley adds an extra dimension to the father. Too many of John Hughes’ teen-angst comedies of the era feature tissue-thin parental figures. This was the first and best of the so-called “brat pack” movies, and will always hold a place in 1980’s filmmaking history. Girls learned never to lend their underwear to a geek and we all learned that high school is just a phase, easily forgotten as time goes on.
