There were probably 10 truly landmark teen orientated movies in the 80's : Sixteen Candles was one of them! All of them feautered heavily about 3 things that teenagers from anywhere have always worry about : being accepted, finding love and high school! Sixteen Candles is rich of these ingridients and more: Molly Ringwald is charming in her portrayal of Samantha Baker, the high school student who is dumbfounded when her family forgets her 16th birthday. Her birthday is the day before her sister's wedding. Her family & relatives are so preoccupied with the wedding plans that they simply forget her special day. It is this that triggers off a series of hilarious & unforgettable situations.
This movie was a great hit. I saw it, for the first time with Sandra, Nancy and Norma during my first stay in Hamilton in 1985!
Probably if we would see it again, now, we would be disappointed but back then it was the perfect movie for that "phase" of our lives! We simply loved it!
