A high school film just smart enough to be special and bad enough that it could be improved upon.

As the girl, Molly Ringwald is natural and appealing, but she's lost in a world of blunt, vicious caricatures.
January 01, 1984
Some of the material works marvelously well, but the stuff that doesn't takes the movie down with it.
January 02, 2011
Racy, drunken, hilarious '80s high school comedy.
May 05, 2014
High school is high school no matter what the date, and Hughes ensures that the constancies of that age remain unchanged.
July 18, 2007
There's also a darkly handsome high school heartbreak kid (Michael Schoeffling), a merciful brisk pace, some quick humor (visual and verbal), and a solid music track.
June 24, 2006
Sly humour and an appreciative ear for the demotic improv of teenage chat completes an attractive package.
February 13, 2012
...a sporadically amusing yet hopelessly uneven endeavor that simply isn't in the same league as Hughes' later classics.
May 20, 2003
Most of the the movie is cheerful and light, showcasing Mr. Hughes's knack for remembering all those aspects of middle-class American adolescent behavior that anyone else might want to forget.
October 23, 2004
A sweet and funny movie about two of the worst things that can happen to a girl on her sixteenth birthday.
