One of the most iconic teen comedies of the 1980s, Sixteen Candles, returns in an all-new Flashback Edition with never-before-seen bonus features! Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) is ready to make the most of her sweet sixteenth birthday … if only someone in her family would remember it. She’s your average teen, enduring creepy freshmen, spoiled siblings, confused parents and the “Big Blonde on Campus” who stands between her and the boy of her dreams. From writer/director John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Weird Science), Sixteen Candles is a warm-hearted coming-of-age comedy that helped define a generation!

Summary: A Classic
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 2.5 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
Yet another overrated teen comedy from the 80s (which people for some reason fetishize), Sixteen Candles has nothing really wrong with it aside from the fact that it's a not-particularly good movie which has acquired the reputation of a classic.

Summary: You know everyone in this family has gone total outer limits
Comment:
Samantha Baker(Molly Ringwald) has just woken up on the most special day of her life, her long awaited 16th birthday, only everyone in her house has forgotten!
She has a bratty little brother, a conceited sister who's getting married the next day, and two absent minded parents who've got there hands full with the relatives coming to stay with them.
Not to mention Samantha is totally in love with Jake Ryan(Michael Schoeffling) a beautiful senior who doesn't even know she exists(or so she thinks) who happens to intercept a note that says she would 'do it' with him! If that wasn't mortifying enough she doesn't have her own car yet and has to ride the bus with geeks like 'Farmer Ted'(Anthony Michael Hall) who only has eyes for her 'aged sophomore meat'.
Only John Hughes could deliver such a classic 80's tale, plus the soundtrack is near brilliant, especially Spandeau Ballet's 'True'.
Sixteen Candles is my personal favorite John Hughes film, and 80's movie to boot!
If only all bad birthdays could turn out to be not so bad at all!

Summary: A near-perfect teen comedy
Comment: "Sixteen Candles" is arguably the most well known film the the 1980s John Huges teen-film cannon. The film is the exact picture of high school as we try to imagine it as kids, and exactly what we remember when when we are reminescing as adults.
The film centers upon Molly Ringwald as we follow her around on her sixteenth birthday. Like all girls, Samantha has been building up her sweet-sixteen birthday for most of her teenage life. When she wakes up on the day she doesn't feel miraculously different, like she had hoped and is dismayed even further when her entire family forgets her birthday. The day continues from there as Sam is stuck into going to a lame dance with her cousin, giving her underwear to a geek, and going to an un-tamed party.
The movie is a comedy from the perspective of someone who has been there and been all of the major characters in the film. It is full of humor, but still carries a very big heart. It is one of those movies that you can watch 5 different times in you life, getting a different experience with every viewing. It is the definition of a classic 80s film, and is the first film screened in the "Teen Genre" courses in Film School.
This is a new special-edition DVD that finally includes special features such as a multi-part featurette, trailer and "additional extras"
