Fairly simple plot. Could be too silly for some. |

| Pros |
funny moments, good acting, fast pace to film |
| Cons |
goes too much for the laugh rather than building the characters |
| Bottom Line |
Not Hughes' best among his 1980's high school films, but still fun to watch. It look a lot different when you watch it as a parent! |

| Pros |
Great cast, typical 80s storyline |
| Cons |
Predictable ending, but who cares? |
| Bottom Line |
Should we feel sorry for Samantha Baker, or is it all just in her head? |

| Pros |
This movie is a classic and speaks to all generations. |
| Cons |
The fairy tale ending takes away any realism, but makes for a great movie ending. |
| Bottom Line |
Sixteen Candles is a classic that should be watched by any teenage girl, boys may not enjoy as much.It is a typical (and an atypical) 80's coming of age movie. |
