My movie for this week is the cult classic, Sixteen Candles. This film stars Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, and Michael Schoeffling. The plot starts out with Samantha Baker in her room on the telephone with her friend. Samantha complains to her friend about not looking any different from being fifteen years old. She brings this up because it's her sixteenth birthday. After hanging up with her friend, Sam goes downstairs, expecting to be flooded with happy birthdays. Instead, she gets nothing. Her family has forgotten her birthday. Sam goes to school, flustered with her life. In one of her classes, Sam is filling out a romantic survey for a girl in her school. Most of the questions are trying to get her to tell who she has a crush on. She finally puts down Jake Ryan, the most popular boy in school, and someone who already has a girlfriend. She drops the note on the ground, hoping that her friend picks it up. Her friend ends up never picking the note up, and the note falls into Jake Ryan's hands. After reading the note, Jake becomes interested in Samantha, asking around about her. I won't give the rest of the plot away, but I do have to say that this was a pretty cheesy movie. I still enjoyed it, though. It was a very classic John Hughes movie, much like his other work around that same time. It's a quick movie with an okay plot. I would give this movie a 6/10.
