Sixteen Candles (1984)
Written & directed
by John Hughes this film stars Molly Ringwald, Michael Schoeffling
and Anthony Michael Hall. Waking up to find she feels no different on
the morning of her sixteenth birthday our protagonist also finds her
family has forgotten her birthday too.
This film does a good
job of capturing that teenage insecurity when it comes to love and
sex even if the plot is a little generic at times. Strangely for a
John Hughes film there are sub plots with some really lazy racism and
date rape vibes. If you can look past the flaws this is still a
decent coming of age film and fits in well with John Hughes other
films.
3/5
