Ted Feb 15 Glad to finally see it. I probably would enjoy it more if I grew up watching it. John Hughes was working through stuff in the 80s. If I grew up watching it like Breakfast Club I don't see it. See more Garrett B @gmoney637 Apr 25 An 80’s classic with a strong nostalgic charm 40 years later. See more Frau B @Fraubluch..er Apr 11 This was my era and I loved the brat pack, especially Andrew McCarthy. I watched this for nostalgia. The actors did their best with a script that was lacking. It was akin to sitting on a deflated ball, i wanted to give it some oomph! See more Alejandro E @Alex970 Mar 29 A modern retelling of the Cinderella story, told from a teenager’s perspective. It has a certain appeal, as it avoids crude humour, which is a relief for the viewer. See more James K @Jamesdkman Feb 25 Seeing this as an adult, I still don't like it. I would have thought I would, especially since I like Some Kind Of Wonderful. I guess because I saw that movie first, Pretty In Pink feels more like the ripoff, despite it being the other way around. I'm really not the biggest Ringwald fan, and perhaps that has more to do with the over saturation of her in the 80's, especially with teen films. Her performance was a standard Molly Ringwald one, which is neither bad or stellar. The Duckie character seemed to have been the most unique and flushed out one by comparsion to the others, and he was pretty insufferable to watch. He was a walking harrassment case at times; this is the guy people look back on as being adorable? The level of meaness these teens seem to have with one another in a lot of Hughes films, borders on exaggeration. It feels more like we're looking at high school from the perspective he might of had. I always get bored watching this film, so I can't reccomend it. See more Cameron H. @camthemovieman Feb 23 I’m glad to say I’ve finally seen “Pretty in Pink!” Seeing it in theaters for the first time for its 40th anniversary was so much fun! I really enjoyed this film. Great performances all around, especially from Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, and Andrew McCarthy. I always love a classic 80s soundtrack. Overall, “Pretty in Pink” is a fantastic 80s film that everyone needs to watch. Full of 80s nostalgia and a great Romeo & Juliet inspired story. See more Read all reviews
