Not the best Molly Ringwald film but very good none the less. The nice girl from the wrong side of the tracks being chased by the handsome rich guy, plus throw into the mix the over-protective friend and you have yourself another high school drama story from the 80's.
Awesome 80's movie. Memorable roles for Molly Ringwald, James Spader, Andrew McCarthy, and Jon Cryer. Shows that even the poorest of people's dreams can come true. Very fun high school movie.
John Hughes should of just directed this brat pack piece, this is the only film out of the trilogy of mid-80's teenage comedies that he didn't direct, probably cuz Andrew McCarthy sucks some d and killed Bernie. This is still classic though, great scenes and typical Hughes characters and plot.
This is my time, and grew up with them, Andrew McCarthy and James Spader, they are good, too bad their career never prosper, except for James Spader who recently is good in Boston Legal
A cult classic about surviving high school and coming of age, over coming class divide. This has inspired so many of the high school love stroy, rom-coms of the 90's and early 00's.
A very good 80's film with Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, James Spader and Annie Potts.
A girl from a working class household (Ringwald) falls for a wealthy guy (McCarthy) in high school. All the foolish high school thing come into play such as the friends not approving and jealousy. A good movie!
This was the last of the John Hughes 80s-teen-angst films that I was yet to see, and it seems I chose the right one to miss. I was very disappointed, as this entire film felt more like an outline than a finished script. Don't misuderstand me, the "outline" seems very promising, and I'm shocked that something Hughes wrote in his heyday wasn't more developed than this. All of the characters are almost caricatures, with little to no revelations as to why these people are what they are. I'd have loved to see these performances fleshed out and learned more about these people, perhaps then I'd have cared more about what happened to them.
I just don't like Molly Ringwald...why was she so popular in the 80s? Cryer, McCarthy, and Spader were all good in it though, but Sixteen Candles is better.
Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) has a crush on 1 of the rich boys in her school, Blane McDonough (Andrew McCarthy). Andie & Blane try to get together. Andie's best friend named Duckie Dale (Jon Cryer) has an obsessive crush on Andie. Blane is secretly eyeing Andie.
Cheesy 80's at its best - from the potato sack she wears to the prom (seriously does anyone anywhere like that dress?) to Duckie's cheesy dancing this film is pure 80s brilliance.
This was SOOOO good!!!!! I want to watch it overand over again!!! It had SUCH a nice ending!!
Duckie is so.... UUGGHHH!!! He was such a bastard when Claire had a date with Blane!!!!! I wanted to punch the lights outta him!!! Blane is SOOO cute, but I don't think he's as cute as John Bender...
Personally, I think everyone that knows me should watch this.
great movie! so funny and cute. Ducky dancing to Otis (and in general!) is awesome. I love Molly Ringwald's style in this, too. And Andrew McCarthy is pretty cute, too! : D
Really good movie. Duckie was the best character, and probably one of my all-time favorites. I absolutely hated Blaine, who I felt was very fake and undeserving of Molly Ringwald/Andie's love, but then in the ending she goes to him, so I lost some respect for her. So basically at the end of the movie I didn't care about either of them, so when they got together I just was like, "Whatever." I wish she had gotten together with Duckie, though, because he actually cared about her. But whatever. Good movie.
Molly Ringwald shines in this love story fable with an all-star cast, along for the ride. Howard Deutch's direction makes for a decent sweet and sour treat, and sometimes it's really good, and definitely cool. A take on Romeo and Juliet in a way, with the class war and the teens caught in the middle.
"Bittersweet love story about two teenagers overcoming class obstacles and forming a relationship."
That is a really good way of describing this movie. I loved it. I first saw it when I was young, and I really loved the whole story. Great soundtrack, too.
As always with John Hughes movies, the plot, the screenplay, everything is pretty simple and straightforward. I could why not everyone will rave about them, but they certainly have their own charm.
Pretty in Pink is a very simple story of poor girl, rich boy. period. no meddling-parents-money-is-an-issue hullaballo. And it is by far my favorite John Hughes movie. Jon Cryer was a geeky, annoying yet adorable (and might I add, good-looking) Duckie. I've never said much about Molly Ringwald before, but for some reason I really appreciated her in this one as Andie. And then, you have Andrew McCarthy and Andrew McCarthy's eyes. Yes, they need to be mention separately. Those eyes excite the fangirl in me.
I liked the start better than the scenes leading the end, And even the conflict wasn't really shown enough, but you pretty much grasp the idea anyway. Like I said, the end wasn't all that great. Your usual realization and self-enlightment but hey, this is a John Hughes. Nothing should be complicated.
