This is a milestone most of us remember in one way, shape or form. {Ah, nothing like teenage puppy love; my oh my how I remember it well}If you're into 80s nostalgia (like me). Oh no. It also stars a young John Cusack in a bit part. away from having to be considered as adults. Just one problem: everyone has forgotten about Samantha's birthday. Samantha (Molly Ringwald) wakes up on the morning of her 16th birthday. It stars Anthony Michael Hall as a mega-geek; just before his career flamed out.
If you do the same, then this one is for you. then this DVD is a must-have. Just one note: if this film were rated today, it would be at LEAST a PG-13 if not an "R." So.if you're thinking about buying this for a daughter / niece who is turning 16, I'd think twice about it. Or could he. After all, at 16 we're about 1/2 way through high school and just 2 years(). Even though Cusack has maybe a dozen lines, one can still see the genesis of the on-screen charisma he would exude - little wonder that charisma launched him into stardom.Looking back 20+ years later, these so called "brat pack" movies are more important than ever for people like me who grew up during the 80s.
With her older sister getting married, Samantha's family has had too many distractions to keep up with anything involving normalcy.Poor Samantha is also suffering the heartache of suffering a crush on a senior who could never return her love. As Hamlet would say, THAT is the question. While my HS years were far from the best years of my life, I still indulge in reminiscing from time to time. I'll leave it @ that.
I ordered it on Wednesday and got it by Friday. It was in it's original package and brand new. I am extremely happy.
I will always be a big fan of his movies. This movie is still as good if not better when it first premiered. Molly Ringwald is perfect in the role of Sam and Anthony Michael Hall as the geek. It brings back fun memories of being 16 all over again. John Hughes has a knack for capturing the angst of young people. Great movie. Two Thumbs Up.
I saw this movie as a teen i loved it bought for my teen and she loves this movie it was delivered quickly and plays perfect
This is my 2nd favorite movie of all time. If you were born in the late 60s or the 70s, there's no way you wouldn't enjoy this movie. I've seen it at least 15 times and continue to watch it every chance that I get. I mean really, come on ladies; JAKE RYAN.is there anything better.
