Pretty in Pink
Teen sensations Molly Ringwald (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club) and Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo's Fire) drew raves for their starring performances in this hit love story by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off). She's a high school girl from the wrong side of town. He's the wealthy heart-throb who asks her to the prom. But as fast as their romance builds, it's threatened by the painful reality of peer pressure. A bittersweet story with an upbeat ending and a phenomenal rock score, Pretty in Pink also stars Harry Dean Stanton, Jon Cryer, James Spader and Annie Potts.
Product Description
Pretty in Pink - DVD - Pretty but poor, Andie's (Molly Ringwald) a good student who develops a crush on Blane (Andrew McCarthy), the sensitive, well-born preppie. But Blane runs with a fast crowd of haughty rich kids, the kind of clique Andie and her new wavy best friend Duckie (Jon Cryer) can't stand. Going against her fretting father (Harry Dean Stanton), peer pressure and social expectations, she decides to date him. But their big plans for the senior prom ultimately fall apart when Blane heeds his friend Steff's (James Spader) warning to "quit slumming." Will Blane find the courage to claim what he really wants and give up the so-called friends he doesn't need? This classic 1980s teen film from the master of the genre, writer-producer John Hughes features plenty of great '80s pop tunes from the Psychedelic Furs, The Smiths, Echo and The Bunnymen, New Order, and more. The continued success of Hughes' films and actors ushered in the era of the "brat pack" and teen films as pop culture.

"Pretty in Pink" got a DVD release all the way back in 2006. It seemed like the film would never make the jump to blu-ray but Paramount finally did just that in 2020 as part of their new Paramount Presents line of special edition blu-rays.
The film got a new 4K remaster and is presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio (slightly opened up from its 1.85:1 theatrical exhibition) utilizing the AVC codec at a beefy bit rate staying usually in the mid 30's. Simply put, "Pretty in Pink" looks amazing! Detail, color saturation, and contrast/black levels are all near perfect. Unless the film ever got a 4K UHD physical release, this is the best the film will ever look. This new transfer was supervised and approved by the director.
The feature itself gets a robust 5.1 DTS-HD mix. There is also the option of an isolated score track which is cool since the film is highly celebrated for its soundtrack. There are also options for German, French, and Japanese audio tracks in regular 2 channel stereo. English subtitles are included for the hearing impaired.
The disc comes in a cool slipcover that opens up on the front to feature the original theatrical poster art.
Extras while sadly on the light side are as follows:
- Filmmaker Focus: Director Howart Deutch on Pretty in Pink (7 min. 38 sec.)
- The Lost Dance: The Original Ending (12 min. 15 sec.)
- Original theatrical trailer (1 min. 27 sec.)
While I am disappointed that there is no director and/or cast commentary track or new cast interviews, this long overdue blu-ray release of "Pretty in Pink" is still a must buy for fans. The film looks and sounds amazing and when it comes down to it, the presentation of the film is of utmost importance. In that regard, Paramount knocked it out of the park with this one.
Despite the film's obvious misgivings, Pretty in Pink is highly entertaining and contains some of Hughes' best one-liners. It's hard to judge how this generation will react to an '80s classic such as this one given its dated look and obvious dialogue. Kids will undoubtedly poke fun at Andie's disastrous sense of fashion, in particular her prom dress, which resembles a pink burlap sack. One thing they most certainly will marvel at is a scene where Blane flirts with Andie using a crude form of instant messenger.Although well intentioned, Pretty in Pink's repeated message of being true to oneself is completely lost during its lame conclusion. (A much different ending was intended for the film, yet after proving itself unpopular with test audiences, Hughes switched it). The script is full of clichés and not a shred of chemistry exists between Ringwald and McCarthy. The film's only redeeming qualities are in the performances of its supporting cast and its totally awesome soundtrack. James Spader is perfect as McCarthy's best friend Steff, the obnoxious self-entitled snob we love to hate. Annie Potts is divine as nostalgia-ridden Iona, Andie's coworker/mother figure, and Cryer's Duckie evokes sympathy, bemusement, and at times intense irritation.
