Sixteen Candles

This is a fresh and cheerful movie with a goofy sense of humor and a good ear for how teenagers talk.

...a universal tale to be shared with everyone and it’s not every day that a filmmaker can come out and make a film like Sixteen Candles without adhering too much to stereotypes and watered down plots.

Some of the material works marvelously well...

The premise is ordinary, but the film is distinguished by funny gags and excellent performances by Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall.
