“I had to write about this film after seeing the last 10 minutes of it on TV last night. I didnu0026#39;t miss much after all cause I had seen the film countless times when I was younger. Man I remember how much I enjoyed it. This has to be the most 80u0026#39;s character driven film about high school I have ever seen. It is just plain out stupid funny and heartwarming.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile Breakfast Club tries to handle the seriousness of social peers, and Ferris Beuller just solidifies the ultimate 80u0026#39;s experience with some great performances and total hip coolness, Sixteen Candles is just a crazy fun romp through the perils of being a teenager.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRingwald is at her prime as the overburdened teenager, and Michael Hall is at his greatest as the ultimate schemer-geek. The party aftermath always cracks me up everytime I see it, plus so many more things.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, thereu0026#39;s a scene where the geek gets unloaded out of the trunk of a car, and i SWEAR itu0026#39;s not a human person but a dummy cause the guy does not move but stands like a broomstick.. Itu0026#39;s just one of those bizarre movie qwerks I wish someone could explain to me. And who can forget those alligator shirts…. I laugh now at the way everyone and the bands look in these 80u0026#39;s movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlas it seems, Hall and Ringwald got stuck in stereotyped roles that they never seemed to shed or outgrew them as they became adults, which is to bad cause Ringwald, and particularly Hallu0026#39;s comedic sense of timing in this film is just amazing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRating 8 out of 10.”
