Simply an enjoyable show
This isn't the type of movie that will make you reflect and question your life's ambitions, it's designed to make you laugh. I think it succeeds admirably. Molly Ringwald is perfect as the budding teenager ready to have life meet her full-force. She is surrounded by a quirky, forgetful family (complete with a jerk for a younger brother), nerdy boys desperate for her attention, good friends with whom she can be herself, and (naturally) a love interest. Anthony Michael Hall's character is as funny a dorky kid as I've ever seen...his dance moves are legendary! He has several monologues that still bring out genuine laughs from me, even after all these years of watching this classic.

This is a teen movie, so go in with your expectations at that level and you may be pleasantly surprised that you enjoy watching this movie for years to come.

Love it, love it, love it :-)
This movie is fantastic. It should be mandatory on everyones dvd list. It's so funny and fun and it stars two of the best from the 80's brat pack - Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall.
Molly Ringwalds character, Samantha, is about to turn 16 just at the exact same time her older sister is about to get married. In all the commotion, her birthday is forgotten and ruined. Her grandparents (so cute) come to stay at their house and bring along a hilarious Asian exchange student with them. She is forced to go along to the school dance (and take the exchange student with her) and there at the dance, Anthony Michael Hall (king of the nerds) has a wager with his nerd friends (including a very young John Cusack) that he can get her pants by the end of the night and will show them to all the nerds in the bathroom. There is actually a very tender scene in a car at the 'car workshop' classroom where he and Sam have a bit of a heart to heart. She reveals her secret crush (Jake - the hottest guy in school). One thing leads to another and the rest of the movie is spent with the 'will they, won't they get together'.
With a predictable ending (albeit happy and fun), this is a great movie that I never get tired of. Long Duc Dong (the exchange student) steals every scene he is in. He is so funny (fans of ER got to see him again as he had a minor role each week for a long while back). This is a cool movie that I highly recommend because it's absolutely great and to me, it will always be a classic.

A Great Coming of Age Movie
This movie was great. I loved it! One of the best movies from the 80's!!
